THE DESCENT
“The Descent” is way more than
only an hotel, a parking and a
funicular. In addition to the two
oblique elevators of the building,
the building itself offers a vertical
link between the upper and the
lower part of Lévis city. In fact,
the public can circulate freely on
the public promenade created by
the roofs of the hotel. With a play
of level, it has been possible to
create a public promenade ,
separated from the circulations of
the hotel, that never violate the
intimacy of the occupants of the
hotel since the passers never
circulate in front of a bedroom
window. It has been possible
because the rooms are weither
situated before the promenade
(facing the river), on the sides of
the building, or facing the cliff.
(see Plan Level 9)
Along their journey, the passers
can reach every two levels a
public outdoor space communicating
with an inside public space
of the hotel. Those inside spaces
can accommodate various functions
or events ( ex.: meetings ) .
Guests of the hotel can, if they
wish, access these outdoor
public spaces using their magnetic
card.

The roof promenade will become
an attraction because it will offer a
special experience to the passers
and to the customers of the hotel.
