The design intention was to create a hotel facility with commercial and service spaces that would fit into the downtown area adjacent to a public square. The 60-meter-long façade of the six-story building closed the square from the northeastern side, showcasing its architecture from a distant perspective.

This façade, like the northern and southern ones, was designed to be all-glass, decorated with copper razor blades at the height of the hotel floors. The harmonious rhythm was disrupted by emphasizing the main entrance to the hotel. The ground floor and commercial spaces were fully glazed, while the monolithic eastern façade, reaching the border of the plot, was entirely clad in sheet metal.

Hotel rooms in a corridor arrangement were planned on a grid of 4-meter wide structural elements. Each of the 156 rooms was illuminated by daylight through large-sized glazing decorated with vertical razor blades. The reception hall, located on the ground floor, provided a connection to the private area of the rooms as well as to the public conference facilities and a spacious spa.
