The Adelphi Hotel was originally constructed in 1938 is located in one of Melbourne’s most famous lane ways at 187 Flinders Lane. The hotel was purchased and renovated by Denton Corker Marshall Architects in 1989. Its architecture style pushed the conventional design of Melbourne hotels, redefining the type of architecture hotels are supposed to have, and was considered one of the boldest buildings of Melbourne in 1994. It was something unexpected that broke away from Melbourne’s dull reputation compared to Sydney or New York. The architecture of the Adelphi Hotel and DCM Architects have contributed a philosophy of playfulness〔.〕 to Australian architecture, giving a sense of absurdness, exaggerating common architecture principles to an extreme degree. == History == Formerly a rag trade warehouse built in 1938, it was bought over by Denton Corker Marshall architects in 1989, who converted the building into a boutique hotel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.adelphi.com.au/hm_about02.shtml )〕 Construction phase 1 started out from its basement from May 1989 until October 1990. The bistro bar was located in the basement, opened after phase 1 to December 1991, and was temporary closed down for phase 2 construction, which started on January 1992. The hotel officially opened in November 1992. In 2013, the hotel was bought over by three new owners, Dion Chandler, Ozzie Kheir and Simon Ongorato, and they hired award-winning design studio Hachem to redesign the hotel's interior and image.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adelphi Hotel, Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
