HKS Hill Glazier Studio has been selected to design a 5-Star 250-key Hilton hotel in Noida, one of New Delhi’s four satellite cities. Set on a stone-clad podium, the 29-story tower calls for an expansive conference facility with grand and junior ballrooms, an event lawn, and business center. A resort-style pool, located on a sixth-floor elevated deck, will provide guests with panoramic views of the city, while a luxury spa is located adjacent to the pool area. A specialty restaurant, situated on the 20th floor, segues to an open-air dining terrace. An additional specialty restaurant is located on the second level.
The project’s design focuses on providing a human scale. “Trees and planting create a hospitable condition at the ground level, reflecting the ambition of its context while creating a luxurious and sophisticated experience,” says Luis Zapiain principal and senior designer with HKS’s London office. “The creation of a green landscape that can be experienced by foot brings the best of Noida onto the site and provides a tranquil buffer between the fervor of the street and the calm of the lobby.”
