The Serai Wing, a collection of private rooms and suites, recently opened its doors as an extension of the Chedi-Al-Bait hotel in Sharjah, UAE. The heritage property, once the residences of pearl merchant Khalid bin Ibrahim, has been transformed into a contextually sensitive, contemporary boutique hotel by Dubai- and London-based design studio ANARCHITECT.
The project posed the challenge of renovating and repurposing two homes from the 1950s. The result is 12 uniquely designed rooms, crafted to reflect the elegance and charm of the cultural locale, while offering a blend of modern luxury and a refined palette of original and new materials.
