The rounded shapes of the highrise also contrast nicely with the many square highrise buildings around it. Also, the choice of vines on the fa\u00e7ade and use of glass and steel makes the highrise addition stand out. This design fits the ambition of the hotel chain, and would be their first presence on the Dutch market.
