AMAZING ARCHITECTURE: The Regatta Hotel Jakarta


AMAZING ARCHITECTURE: The Regatta Hotel Jakarta was designed by Atelier Enam, based on the nautical theme, where the centrepiece is an aerodynamically shaped hotel – one of the most striking landscape features overlooking the Java Sea.
It is a five-star hotel that offers an Aqua Park in a complex spawning over 11 hectares of reclaimed land. The designers said the 10 smaller towers represent sailing boats and the centerpiece, which is also the larger building is ‘The Lighthouse’. This lighthouse is one of the most great looking structure i’ve seen regarding futuristic building concepts, and the idea is to anchor it all of the ten “sail ship” buildings on shore.
The ‘Regatta’ name comes from the symbols of tall ships, which are the 10 apartment owers sailing around the ‘lighthouse’ which is represented by the hotel. All these 10 apartment towers are named after some importanta port cities of the world, and each of them, are orientated towards the cardinal direction of their corresponding city. The Five Stars hotel with serviced apartments belong to the final phase the project, the 3rd one.
