Section H: Building Type Character and Quality J I miot • 44'4, -TO f t t f oaf t ,+, • t. faI • ._ - ■ Hotel The business hotel in Fisherman's Harbor and a waterfront hotel may be developed in the Esplanade District. These hotels can serve as a catalyst for pedestrian activity, and offer a destination and anchor for visitors. Their character should emphasize hospitality and comfort with the physical design being evocative of a maritime heritage. These hotels should be high quality in form, materials, and detailing to further enhance the Waterfront Place Central character. The business hotel will be a mid-range hotel, while the waterfront hotel will serve as a higher end experience. Hotels should include the following key design components: The hotel's relationship between the ground floor, street, water, and Esplanade is very important in each case. Arrival and entry spaces shall provide maximum visual interest with special and well-designed forms, materials, and details. A portico, main entry, and lobby should present a strong presence and be the public face that connects the main street with the hotel's prominent gathering space. Architectural design should emphasize the entry and use it to express the aesthetic quality of the hotel. Entry details on the door, entryway and lobby floor, and entry structure can foster a unique identity to the building. Exterior elevations should be well designed and articulated through high quality decorative window treatments and materials. Proportions and patterns of windows should be organized to create a strong rhythm that is visually pleasing from the exterior. Other areas such as amenity spaces, like terraces,must be integrated with the overall design. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines - 106-
