Hotel amenities will include 330 guest rooms; a 10,000-square-foot ballroom with prefunction and outdoor terraces; 4,000 square feet of breakout meeting rooms; a full-service kitchen; restaurant with outdoor seating; lobby with bar; tech lounge; swimming pool; and fitness center.

The Méliá Hotel’s smooth, glazed surface faces the historical Place de l’Etoile – Porte Maillot – La Défense Grande Arche axis. The Spanish Meliá Group designed the new four-star structure as its flagship hotel in France. The “knife blade” shaped building plays on contrasting materials: glass on the southern esplanade-side facade and metallic shot-peened panels on the boulevard side. The fluid, curved southern facade ends in a prow with a tilted edge projecting towards Paris.

A hotel built on virtually invisible land

Built like a bridge spanning several tunnels, the design called for ingenious solutions on the part of VINCI Construction. Located on the spot where a ventilation plant for the A14 motorway previously stood, the 1,600 sq. metre land take is hemmed in by the circular boulevard, the La Défense esplanade and a car park exit. The building straddles two tunnels, a car park exit and a ventilation shaft like a bridge. It rests on special foundations built across the Défense 2 car park between the various tunnels.

Mandarin Oriental

An integrated project management team refurbished the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) with the client in which PLENDI made a range of commitments to provide services prior to the start of construction and thus take part in design studies and project preparation. A team of interior decorators was assembled to participate in engineering and design very early in the project. PLENDI by VINCI Construction is entirely dedicated to this type of project. It provides expert advice covering the full range of works involved in a high-end project, from design to handover. A team of construction engineers and interior space specialists – craftspeople, decorators and interior designers – deliver a comprehensive range of expertise. The integrated approach is reassuring for clients and makes it possible to better meet the specifications, budget and schedule at all project stages, with the meticulous attention to detail that makes for all the difference.

The Peninsula

The challenge of the The Peninsula hotel project in Paris was to extensively restructure the building using state-of-the-art techniques and innovative processes while retaining its historic features. The in-depth renovation of the former International Conference Centre operated by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs marks the return of French luxury hotels around the Champs-Élysées.

The project opted for the “top and down” method to simultaneously carry out the work on the three underground levels and the superstructure. To complete the colossal project – 40,000 sq. metres, 200 rooms including eight suites, restaurants including a panoramic space, boutiques and a spa with swimming pool – up to 1,000 people worked at the site at the same time.
