Seven-Storey Hotel with 175 Guest Rooms
The hotel rises to seven storeys and comprises 175 completed guest rooms across approximately 10,000 square metres.
The building also incorporates a basement, two elevators and a swimming pool positioned on the second floor.
Key hotel features include:
- 175 guest rooms
- Seven above-ground storeys
- Basement level
- Two passenger elevators
- Second-floor swimming pool
- Reception and guest-arrival areas
- Guest corridors and common areas
- Mechanical and electrical services
- Complete interior fit-out
- Integrated operational and service areas
Delivering a hotel of this scale required close coordination between the structural, architectural, building-services and interior-construction teams.
Basement Construction
The hotel incorporates a basement designed to support the development’s operational and building-service requirements.
Basement construction requires careful coordination of structural elements, waterproofing, drainage, ventilation and access.
Important construction considerations included:
- Retaining and structural walls
- Groundwater and moisture protection
- Waterproofing systems
- Drainage and water management
- Ventilation
- Mechanical and electrical services
- Access and circulation
- Coordination with the building structure above
These elements were integrated into the hotel’s overall construction programme to provide a durable and functional lower-ground level.
Second-Floor Swimming Pool
A prominent feature of New Patong Square is its second-floor swimming pool.
Positioning the swimming pool above ground level required detailed structural and building-services coordination. The supporting structure had to accommodate the pool’s permanent weight, water load and operational requirements.
The swimming-pool works required coordination of:
- Structural support
- Pool-shell construction
- Waterproofing systems
- Water circulation and filtration
- Supply and drainage services
- Electrical installations
- Pool-deck finishes
- Access and maintenance requirements
The completed pool provides hotel guests with an elevated recreational area within the centre of Patong.
Two-Elevator Installation
The seven-storey hotel is served by two elevators, providing convenient vertical circulation for guests, staff and hotel operations.
Integrating the elevator systems required accurate coordination between the structural design, elevator shafts, electrical installations and architectural finishes.
Correct shaft dimensions, structural openings and installation tolerances were essential to ensure reliable installation and operation.
New Patong Square Shopping Plaza
The adjacent shopping plaza comprises 27 one-and-a-half-storey retail units, each providing approximately 86 square metres of commercial space.
Together, the individual units provide approximately 2,322 square metres of retail floor area, excluding common areas and external circulation.
The retail units were designed to accommodate a variety of commercial uses while maintaining a consistent architectural identity across the plaza.
Key shopping-plaza features include:
- 27 individual retail units
- Approximately 86 square metres per unit
- One-and-a-half-storey layouts
- Flexible commercial interiors
- Customer-access and circulation areas
- Integrated electrical and plumbing services
- Coordinated external façades
- Connection to the wider hotel development
The shopping plaza expands the project beyond hospitality by creating a complementary commercial destination in central Patong.
Complete Interior-Design Concept
Sotech Asia developed and executed the entire interior-design concept for New Patong Square.
The interior design was coordinated with the building structures and services to create a consistent appearance throughout the hotel and commercial areas.
The interior scope included:
- Hotel guest rooms
- Guest bathrooms
- Reception and arrival areas
- Corridors and common spaces
- Elevator lobbies
- Retail-unit interiors
- Floor and wall finishes
- Ceilings and lighting coordination
- Fixed furniture and built-in elements
- Decorative architectural details
- Final finishing and quality inspections
Managing both the design and construction allowed Sotech Asia to coordinate materials, finishes and technical details throughout the development.
