DSA Architects International have been named as winners for Best Luxury Hotel Architecture, for the DoubleTree by Hilton, Jeddah project, by the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards group.

The Middle East is one of the world’s centres for luxury development projects and DSA Architects International stand out in this region for their range of unique, innovative and elegant projects that consistently achieve – and often surpass – the requirements of their discerning clientele.

DSA Architects International have completed an incredible array of prestigious projects in this part of the world, from luxury resorts and residences to urban and boutique hotels, as well as commercial, retail and education projects.  With a capacity to undertake huge mixed-use developments in the international arena, as well as smaller scale commissions for private clients, DSA’s passion for producing timeless designs with a strong attention to detail and sustainable principles remains steadfast.

DSA have a long and successful history within the luxury hospitality sector and are proud to have longstanding associations with some of the world’s top hospitality brands, including Jumeirah, Four Seasons, Marriott, One&Only, Accor Hotels, Anantara and Hyatt, to name a few.

Along with this impressive list is the international hotel giant, Hilton, with whom DSA share a fantastic understanding and working relationship, spanning the last decade and longer.  Through the esteemed client, Taiba Developments, DSA were selected to continue this successful partnership as lead consultant and architect for the new DoubleTree by Hilton Jeddah Hotel and Residences project.

The brief was to design and deliver an iconic hotel that is set to be a brand new landmark for the city of Jeddah. The site is located on a prime location near the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Square overlooking the Red Sea and just a 20-minute drive from Jeddah International Airport. The unique architecture of the building will rise like a city sculpture, offering stunning views of the urban and ocean landscape and all major landmarks.

Jeddah is a year-round international tourist destination and is the main gateway to Mecca and Medina, making this an extremely high-profile project. When completed, the hotel building will consist of 245 hotel keys and 219 serviced apartments, as well as food and beverage outlets, retail, recreational areas and meeting rooms, ensuring that top level facilities are available for both business and leisure travellers.

The outstanding level of design flair, innovation and execution of this project, which sets a new standard in meeting client objectives, whilst delivering the highest standards of professional excellence, make DSA Architects International worthy winners of the “Best Luxury Hotel Architecture” award for DoubleTree by Hilton, Jeddah, KSA by the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

When this project is finally realised, it will be another feather in the cap for this world-leading architectural practice.
