Size

Tower: 136m

Hotel keys: 140

Apartments: 153

Rising 136 metres, the hotel tower is organised as two distinct angled forms that step and rotate as they ascend, creating a silhouette of terraces and balconies that frame views across Tashkent. The form draws on the intricate geometric patterns of the city’s architectural heritage, translated into the building’s external steel skeleton. Prominent vertical fins define the geometric language of the façade while providing effective solar shading – optimising natural daylight penetration and energy efficiency while reducing heat gain. The combined architectural and environmental approach enhance guest comfort across the building’s 140 hotel keys and 153 residential apartments.

Programme and amenities

A substantial podium anchors the tower, establishing a sense of stability while housing the hotel’s principal amenities: a grand ballroom, pre-function spaces with adjoining bars, multiple meeting rooms, a gym, indoor and outdoor pool overlooking the adjacent park, and a spa. A rooftop restaurant and bar on the 23rd floor complete the hospitality offer. At ground level, the western frontage is dedicated to premium retail facing a new public square that welcomes the local community, part of the wider Phase 2 masterplan for the site.
