U Hotel
Designed By
Alex, Ann, and Steve
Location and Goal
This Project is located at 460 King Street building.
Our objective was to create a hotel that would capture the attention of both tourists and locals while paying tribute to the building's historical significance and reflecting Toronto's cultural heritage.
In addition to serving as a landmark and hotel, we aimed to seamlessly integrate the hotel into the building's historical culture, providing guests with an engaging and immersive experience highlighting the city's unique character.

Concept Statement
- We carefully incorporated historical and architectural elements throughout the hotel to accomplish this. Our iconic symbol is the "U" shape, composed of the historical building and two additional tall buildings, forming a U shape.
- Height was also a critical component of our design, as we incorporated the U shape into the hotel and the guest rooms, serving as a logo and a distinguishing feature that sets us apart from other hotels. Furthermore, the U shape represents the history and future technology development of the 460 King Street building.
