“It all starts with the doors,” says Khabouth, pointing to oversized, ornate dark wood doors with elaborate gold handles. “That’s the first thing people see. Impressions count.”
Khabouth’s style is Prince of Persia meets Philippe Starck. In his restaurants, velvet and gold accents and dangling beaded curtains clash with angular granite and glass, recreating the Persian lounge for the 21st century.
Not surprisingly, the new project will be opulent, with a distinctly nightclub vibe.
Bisha’s hotel will have two themed floors: a black and red themed Rock and Roll floor, and a Hollywood Floor with a Beverley Hills vibe. Like his clubs, there will be a huge amount of space — 30,000 square feet devoted to amenities including food and beverage and a fitness centre."
Love the exterior shots--thank you--but interesting how Bisha (Lifetime Developments also) capitalize on the impact of the "ornate wood doors" in the lobby.
I want mine! Why were the wooden entrance doors held out as a selling feature but are now nowhere to be seen?
We must insist on this feature!
