InterContinental Hotels Group recently asked ReardonSmith to act as its hotel planning consultants, taking an existing scheme for a hotel within a new mixed-use building that is to be constructed on one of Moscow’s most prominent thoroughfares near Red Square. Consent had already been gained for a development to include offices and retail as well as 15 floors of hotel. ReardonSmith was invited to prepare co-ordinated detail design schemes, taking the hotel from the envelope inwards and ensuring that the final scheme was operationally sound, stood to generate maximum revenue and met with InterContinental’s world-class standards.

Front-of-house, work focused on bringing an impressive sense of arrival to the Hotel, adding an ingredient of architectural drama to the public areas and maximising the number of guestrooms. The project also included planning of back-of-house areas and addressed the all-important relationship between front and back-of-house demises.
