A complete reconstruction of the exterior, interior and surroundings of the brutalist hotel using state‑of‑the‑art materials and technologies with an emphasis on ecological features. During the reconstruction work, a number of original artworks and architectural ensembles were successfully preserved and restored.

Characteristics
As one of the largest and most technically challenging civil‑engineering undertakings in recent decades, the project demanded the coordination of an unusually wide team of specialists across many professions and disciplines. The renovated site now incorporates an underpass to the riverfront embankment, open for public use.

Uniqueness of the construction project
The reconstruction was hindered by the structurally unsound—and in many cases outright failing—condition of the building, requiring the removal and complete rebuilding of entire parts of the hotel. Some of the concrete structures also required replacement, and the façade system, combining alternating glass, metal and ceramic elements, was fully rebuilt.
