The two-bedroom Royal Suite will be the largest in London at 470sq m (5,000 sq ft). The hotel will feature a 2,140sq m ESPA spa set over four
floors, a seafood restaurant and a British restaurant. The interior design is led by GA Design International, with David Collins creating the hotel’s bar and seafood restaurant.

Weston Grand Pier reopens
Weston-super-Mare’s 106-year-old Grand Pier reopened to the public in October, several months late and more than two years after it was damaged in a fire. Bristol-based architect Angus Meek is behind the design of
the new-look attraction, which has undergone a £35m over- haul led by John Sisk and Son. A number of rides supplied by Stroud-based Gravitron and a 90m (295.3ft) observation tower looking over the Severn Estuary are among the pier’s new attractions.

Soccer City National Stadium Populous & Boogertman and Partners Location Johannesburg, South Africa Soccer City Stadium wins architecture prize
Soccer City National Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, designed by Populous and Boogertman and Partners, won the World’s Best Sport Building award at the World Architecture Festival Awards in Barcelona in November. The judges said: “The Soccer City Stadium makes a strong
connection with its place in history, the game and the future of this area. It is an example of a building ... giving an exciting future to an otherwise run down area, becoming instantly recognisable as the face of the South African World Cup.”
