At each interface a double height, extended by a garden terrace overlooking the city, accommodates the hotel lobbies. A double lift circuit vertically extends the street space within the edifice to lead directly to each lobby and the belvedere, and then ensures access to intermediate floors of each hotel - described the architects.
