Patk Hyatt Zanzibar
Zanzibar, Tanzania
The Park Hyatt, idyllically located on the island of Zanzibar, off the East coast of Africa in the heart of Stone Town. The hotel features an eclectic mix of influences from Persia, Arabia, India and Africa.
A UNESCO world heritage site, it was the responsibility of WA International to ensure that all restoration works of the heritage buildings where done accurately with a seamless flow from the heritage buildings through into the new wing. The designers had to stay true to the traditions of the past however take into account the relevance of the present. The challenge was to re-invent the past and traditional into a modern, contemporary design without losing the essence of the tradition.
Within the new wing, 57 hotel guestrooms and 6 additional suites where created. The new wing also encompasses the library, bar, restaurant and an impressive function room. The interiors feature high ceilings, large fans and cool marble floors providing an inviting welcome from the warm humid conditions of the island.
Every aspect was carefully detailed from the intricate ceilings to the carved timber doors and architraves and mirror frames. Timber doors and architraves where made by local artisans in Stone Town and display impeccable quality and respect for the tradition. These artisans still work in the traditional however they poses the vision of the contemporary.
Fixtures and furnishings include for ethnic inspired fabrics in trendy colours. The colour palette reflects the beauty of the island, cool colours and ethnic prints provide the highlights to a tonal interior canvas. Tradtional Arabic patterns laser cut from metal and formed to create light fixtures which when lit create the most beautiful light and shadows reflecting these traditional Arabic patterns. Feature furniture pieces include mother of pearl inlay coffee tables and consoles in dark wood, evident of the countries strong ties with India and Arabia.
The wall plastering technique used was the traditional method and composition, due to the high humidity and salt levels in the air the traditional techniques proved better than the modern.
The central courtyard plays an important feature in the overall master planning, since the concept is directly taken from that as seen in traditional Omani residential homes. The guest should have the sense of arrival, not the sense of arrival into a hotel lobby, but that of a warm welcoming Omani home. Traditionally courtyrads are not ornate or overly embellished, however the courtyard with a central water feature serves as the meeting point with all other spaces leading off. Designers deliberately kept the reception desks out of view upon entering the courtyard for this reason.
The Park Hyatt Zanzibar is a truly magical property you cannot help but fall in love with.
