The design was to seamlessly integrate the building with the existing principles of New Urbanism already established in the Melrose Arch precinct. The Marriott Hotel, in tandem with a similar height One on Whiteley Apartment building (OoW), was designed to enclose a private, common landscaped courtyard for the two buildings. Additionally, a double volume perimeter retail component was envisioned to create a more human scale interface with the public at street level and to expand the existing retail/commercial offering within the precinct. Concept The Johannesburg Marriott Hotel offers the public access to a unique new offering within the greater precinct, with an aesthetic affinity to the existing architectural expression, but an expression of materials which provides a distinct identity. The Marriott Hotel is the signature brand of Marriott International whose F&B offering is integral to the guest experience, including The Archery Bar & Eatery as well as Keystone Bistro.
