The building features a sleek asymmetrical designed to accommodate 25 guests to a luxurious night's stay. The Galway Paris Hotel offers opulence and class in a sleek corner building that will house a lounge, bar, guest rooms of varying sizes and shops on the lower level. The building has a unique black metal exterior explicitly chosen to capture natural light and cool air. The metal is perforated in a variety of styles and shapes to allow natural light and air to pass to illuminate and cool the building as needed. This is an ideal use of the immediate surrounding environment in the building's architecture.
