Axis was hired by a Marriott franchisee to plan and design a new four-story, 184-room dual-branded hotel in Hoover, Alabama. The proposed hotel is located on a 6.41-acre site just off I-85. To accommodate the 122,547 SF hotel and 220 parking spaces, extensive site work including steep slopes and tall retaining walls were required. The proposed site is located at the highest point in Hoover, Alabama.

The proposed structure includes poured concrete foundations with structural steel beams and columns on the first floor. Fire-treated wood stud framing and TJI floor framing were incorporated in the design of upper floors. Elevator shafts consisted of eight-inch CMU. The footing plan had to carefully consider footing locations to avoid bedrock.

The exterior facade included built-up painted EIF with architectural lighting. Hotel amenities include interior and exterior pools, staff and guest laundry, fitness center, business center, full restaurant, and bar facilities.
