SEL DE MER HOTEL, DA NANG

The family-run Sel De Mer Group commissioned Inros Lackner Vietnam to design a fourstar hotel on Da Nang City’s “Vo Nguyen Giap” beachfront boulevard. The hotel has 160 rooms as well as a spa facility with swimming pool, a rooftop bar, a medium-sized conference centre, and various shops and restaurants. The site on which the building was constructed had an area of just 900 m². Incorporating a development density of under 60 percent, a very compact hotel building was designed with 26 levels. All technical equipment areas are almost invisibly integrated at each level. Due to the building’s footprint-to-height ratio, the structure’s design required a specially developed combination of load-bearing walls and core elements without transfer beams.
