Working With Al Maabar and Starwood Hotels on Mixed-Use Development
Washington, DC - March 15, 2011 - ForrestPerkins, the international architecture and design firm, has been awarded the interior design for the St. Regis Amman and The Residences at St. Regis Amman in Jordan by Al Maabar Abdoun Real Estate Development Company. This five-star luxury hotel and multi-residential project will mark St. Regis' first entree into Jordan. ForrestPerkins is honored to have been selected for this project and to be working with Al Maabar Abdoun Real Estate Development Company and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
Stephen Perkins, AIA, ISHC, co-founder and principal of ForrestPerkins, is inspired by the project. "The ancient and modern history, natural and urban fabric, culture and rich traditions of this important international city offer a rich lode of influences for the design of such an important new development," he says. The new St. Regis Amman will be located in Abdoun, an exclusive neighborhood of Amman that is home to many embassies and ambassadors' residences. The hotel will feature 270 guest rooms, including 91 suites, four restaurants and a supper club, a cafe, ballroom, bar, pool and pool bar, spa and fitness center. The Residences at St. Regis Amman will include approximately 80 branded units. ForrestPerkins will design the one- to five-bedroom apartments, lobby, fitness center and gourmet shops within the residential segment of the development.
