arena, noise was an important consideration
when designing the façades. 300, 450 and
600mm slashes cut through the façade, breaking

Interior Design
The interior style of the hotel is contemporary.
There is neutral, cool toned tiling offset and
balanced by warm timbers and metals like bronze,
brass and copper.
 The tiles have movement and
natural elements and are less likely to date. The
timbers are highly contrasting with Oak as the main
Time Square
timber with smaller portions of medium and dark
stain timbers.
Loose and organic style fabrics and carpets
complement the strong geometric lines of the
hotel architecture and finishes. The colour palette
includes splashes of magenta, cobalt blue,
greens and yellows that run throughout the hotel,
delineating the individual areas.
The accent wall in Reception consists of a
mosaic-like combination of tiles, stainless steel
strips and light to create a pattern that alludes to
the Horology theme of the Casino & the name of
Time Square.
Large bands of LED lights lead the
guest into the lobby area.
