Street, maintaining a visual connection from the
city to the sea. The hotel occupies the western
podium levels as well as the first four floors above
the podium for rooms. The far western portion
of the site is tucked behind the service edges of
the existing neighbouring buildings, away from
the more public water’s edge walkway and it
provided the opportunity to place many of the
68
service and back of house requirements in this
area. The more public functions of the hotel -
the restaurant, bar, reception and conference
rooms - are accommodated on the north of this
western podium. These areas enjoy views across
the container depot and working harbour. The
northern edge is also flanked by the access road
and Blue Train station and platform.
