Hotel Eliseo

DESCRIPTION
Hotel Eliseo is a great thermal center and beauty farm among the 3-star hotels at the Terme Euganee. It is located in a peaceful large park with huge evergreen trees on Viale Stazione, on the shopping promenade of Montegrotto Terme.
The hotel was designed, built and managed by the Migliolaro family since 1956, and welcomes guest in elegant rooms with impressive windows overlooking the park. Its lounges and intimate areas are excellent to look at TV or to have conversations in. In the hall there is also a bar and the reception desk that welcomes guests from 7 in the morning to 2 at night and provides useful information on the thermal spa holiday, as well as the programs of the SPA, and also the attractions of Euganei Hills, Montegrotto, Abano Terme, and nearby Padua and Venice. The spa facility is within Hotel Eliseo and the splendid and large thermal pools with 36°C water, are connected to each other. One is found inside while the other is set outdoors in the middle of the green park, with lounge chairs and umbrellas available to guests for maximum comfort. The breakfast room can be found on the mezzanine floor, it comes as an American style buffet with a great variety of low-calories sweet and salty foods, served with fruit juices and hot beverages. The restaurant is in the grand salon of the main floor and overlooks the park, and offers a very varied cuisine to meet the needs and tastes of clients.

One of the most beautiful hotels in the world - coming soon

Shanghai in China.
Although from these pictures the hotel looks almost unreal, the project is expected to be completed by May, 2009.
The quarry will protect the resort from the weather and reduce the energy needs of the hotel. The complex will contain restaurants, cafes, sport facilities, and will even include underwater public areas and guestrooms.

The hotel will have 400 bed resort which will stand two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry.
Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports.
An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.


Martin Jochman, the chief in design team, says “We drew our inspiration from the quarry setting itself, adopting the image of a green hill cascading down the natural rock face as a series of terraced landscaped hanging gardens. In the centre, we have created a transparentglass ‘waterfall’ from a central vertical circulation atrium connectingthe quarry base with the ground level. This replicates the natural waterfalls on the existing quarry face.”

Extraordinary Centaurus Pakistan 7 Star Hotel Pictures

Pakistan is in the news these days for all the wrong reasons. However the violence and uncertainty in that country seems to have not overwhelmed their creativity and business entrepreneurship. In Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan where just a few months ago the infamous Red Mosque rebellion unfolded, a spectacular architectural masterpiece is currently under construction. The centerpiece of this project is a 37 story tower which looks like a ski jump and when completed in 2010 will be one the handful of 7 STAR hotels in the world.

According to Wikipedia the 7 star hotel is part of The Centaurus mixed development project involving over 6.5 acres of land in Islamabad's arterial corridor, called Blue Area. The whole complex includes the 37 story 7 star hotel, two 21 story residential towers, a 25 story corporate office tower, and a 5 story shopping mall. The complex will also have a parking lot to accommodate over 2,000 vehicles. The Hotel and the complex is designed by the British architect firm WS Atkins PLC and is estimated to cost 350 million dollars. A special feature of the building is its earthquake resilience level. As Islamabad is situated in a earthquake zone the hotel is designed to withstand an earthquake of up to 9.5 magnitude.
The Centaurus 7 star hotel and building complex is built by Pak Gulf Construction (Pvt) Ltd (PGCL) of Islamabad which is a joint venture between Al Tamimi of Saudi Arabia and Sardar Builders of Pakistan. So like many other recent spectacular real estate development projects this also seems to be funded by Arab petrodollars.Here are some more illustrations of how Pakistan’s Centaurus 7 star hotel will look like.

However some Pakistanis seem to have reservations about this 7 star hotel and the building’s design. Even going through the comments in this post about the hotel in the All Things Pakistan blog you can see many comments about the hotel’s design and it becoming an eyesore in Islamabad's skyline. Besides serving residential, commercial, and business purposes, the complex is intended to symbolize the growth of Pakistan, and to enable it to host international conferences and seminars in Pakistan's capital city. To wrap up this post, here are some pitchy words from Adil Najam on this from the post in the All Things Pakistan blog I mentioned earlier.
"I am not sure we need any more discussion about whether this hotel is a good idea or not. But what about the design? Is this eye-candy or eye-sore? Will this really take us to the ‘next frontier’ (apologies for the pun)? Does this look more like ‘heaven on earth’ or ‘pie in the sky’?"For more about the Centaurus 7 star hotel in Pakistan check out the official website of project at TheCentaurus.com.
