Slated to be located alongside the serpentine Sheik Zayed Bridge (by Zaha Hadid), the Helix Hotel by Leeser Architecture is the latest jewel in the landscape of Zayed Bay in Abu Dhabi. Drawing the name from its staggered floor plates, the five-star hotel is designed to partially float in water, while the remaining part rests on the bay. The luxury hotel will accommodate 208 guest rooms and suites, arranged around the helical floor that keeps shifting (width and the design) to keep the architecture stable on the mounting waves of the bay. The hotel also features an indoor waterfall that maintains a cozy temperature using the natural source. Therefore, the Helix Hotel not just presents a stunning architectural design, bejeweled with modern luxuries, but it also helps in sustaining the environment.
