Hospitality · 1978 · Taif · T&B Garevski of AXE Architects
In 1978, the Sheraton group commissioned T&B Garevski of AXE Architects to design a seven-story hotel on AlHada slopes in Taif. The project was owned by the Ministry of Finance to accommodate and host events during summer seasons. The site is perched on the peak of the Sarawat mountain range in Al Hada, a steep and rocky slope leads to the main building containing 111 rooms. The triangular structure is centered around a gilt and marble lobby that arches several stories high. The tapered terraces extended from the outer edges of the building to its center, alternating between the copper-film coated windows. In addition, the resort also includes a series of private villas with concrete walls with circular apertures occupying the east area of the resort. The building has undergone renovations in 1985 and 2006 and is currently owned by Le Meridien Hotels & Resorts Chain.
