The Double Tree Sochi Hotel is located on the premises of the legendary Actor Sanatorium in Sochi. Despite its geometrical simplicity, the original form of the building offers coastal views from every single guest room, without exception. In contrast with the majority of the surrounding hotels, not a single room at the Double Tree Sochi Hotel faces the hillside.

Already existing roads are used for incoming transport. The project entails reconstructing the entire adjacent shoreline, but with the key caveat of fully preserving the unique coastal environment. The building is positioned in such a way that not a single protected species of tree was harmed.

Construction has been postponed due to the Olympics in Sochi.

Project architect: Dimitri Kats.

Team: Dennis Fink, Natalya Borodina, Raymund Herbst, Sergey Zabnin (renderings).
