Pitt Street hotel to have sloping ‘green waterfall’
A new hotel on Sydney’s Pitt Street will feature a sloping roof that looks more like a nature reserve than a CBD building.
The hotel, owned by the Intercontinental Hotels Group and to be branded under its Voco franchise, will feature a steep slope to its roof, with landscaping that is being labelled as a “green waterfall”.
According to ArchitectureAU, the roof is intended to be a visual extension of Belmore Park across the road.

The new Vovo hotel in Sydney will open in 2020.
The 17-storey, wedge-shaped tower is slated to open in 2020 and will have 301 rooms, a restaurant, bar and gym.
The site is currently home to an at-grade car park, and was originally to be developed as a Holiday Inn, before Intercontinental Hotels Group announced last week that it would instead proceed under its more upmarket Voco brand.
