Architecture Symbolic of Dynamic Motion

As an integral part of the surrounding auto drome architecture and blending into it, the Courtyard Marriot Hotel articulates a similar dynamic motion in its architectural language. Its form sweeps forward in an inward-looking curve around a semi-circular forecourt at the end of the linearly disposed AutoMall. Its aerodynamic form has a glazed front façade which afford panoramic views of the entire racetrack in front to its inmates.
