The hotel expands the existing Victoria Gate group of buildings with a diagrid facade tower, with varying windows to create a pixelated diamond pattern. The plinth is expressed in three-dimensional terracotta tiles while the restaurant is a diagrid glass volume to create a visual connection between the dining space and the playhouse. Charcoal black render provides the background to the slanted metallic windows reveals. At grade, the space above the culverted Lady Beck is used as a new landscaped route and entrance for the hotel.
