ALiLA La Gruyère

After Strategic Hotel Consulting had conducted a market and financial feasibility and recommended a suitable operator, we defined the project framework, objectives and requirements. The client signed with ALiLA, which was later acquired by the Hyatt group.

We set out the preliminary project structure, team organisation and planning. We prepared an overall project brief and began team procurement, starting with the lead architect and interior designer, and following up with local team members including local architect and engineers. We prepared and reviewed contracts, and led negotiations for fees and terms & conditions.

The architect and interior designer developed a preliminary design which was presented to the operator and client. Work then proceeded to first concept design, which was developed in close collaboration with the engineers and specialist consultants, along with first project specifications and a detailed first budget. With a value engineering phase ongoing, our role is co-ordination between the client, lead architect, local architect and the operator’s technical services team based in Zurich and Hong Kong. It also involves procurement of remaining team members, contract administration, budgeting, planning, providing the client with regular reports and advice, and reviewing all plans and documents.

In progress.

To come.

Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2020.
