Newfoundland is having a renaissance\u2014food, culture, business, and tourism are developing at a quality and pace seldom seen in the province\u2019s history. The Parkhotel\u2014a proposal for a four storey, 108-key hotel located on-top of an existing 8-storey parking garage\u2014is only possible because of all of the great things happening in Newfoundland right now. <\/p>\n

The existing garage, and the adjoined Atlantic Place, form the largest office complex in the city\u2014a bulky lowest-common denominator structure set prominently between the picturesque harbour and a protected heritage district along Water Street. PARTISANS was approached to design a compelling hotel experience here that could transform this functional eyesore into an engaging civic gateway and local economic driver without modifications to the existing garage.<\/p>\n

PARTISANS developed an overarching design strategy that addressed these goals, while also working to integrate the project with the colourful and idiosyncratic fabric of the city. The proposal for includes a 4 storey addition on-top of the existing 8-storey parking garage. The addition houses three floors of hotel rooms, while the top floor houses the lobby, lounge, and amenities. To service the hotel, a new shaft with two elevators rises the full height of the building. PARTISANS incorporated opportunities to involve the public in the design, including transforming the bulk of the garage into a canvas for public art that will be curated in consultation with the community. The project was approved by St. John\u2019s city council in May 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2294,"template":"","project_type":[31,23],"project_location":[11],"class_list":["post-515","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-hotel","project_type-public-space","project_location-st-johns"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nParkhotel St. John's | Hotel Design by PARTISANS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PARTISANS transforms a St. John's parking garage into a 108-key rooftop hotel, revitalizing Atlantic Place as a civic gateway in downtown Newfoundland.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Parkhotel St. John's | Hotel Design by PARTISANS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PARTISANS transforms a St. John's parking garage into a 108-key rooftop hotel, revitalizing Atlantic Place as a civic gateway in downtown Newfoundland.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PARTISANS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-27T21:18:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/052_raster-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2096\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/\",\"name\":\"Parkhotel St. John's | Hotel Design by PARTISANS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/052_raster-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-05-22T22:12:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-27T21:18:07+00:00\",\"description\":\"PARTISANS transforms a St. John's parking garage into a 108-key rooftop hotel, revitalizing Atlantic Place as a civic gateway in downtown Newfoundland.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/052_raster-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/052_raster-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2096,\"height\":2560,\"caption\":\"PARTISANS' Parkhotel \u2013 a bold architectural vision featuring a cantilevered yellow penthouse volume and glazed tower rising above a historic downtown streetscape.\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/parkhotel\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Projects\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Parkhotel\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/\",\"name\":\"Partisans\",\"description\":\"Don't Hire Us.
