The Museum Hotel Antakya / EAA – Emre Arolat Architecture

Situated nearby the Saint Peter’s Church on Mount Starius in Antakya, which is claimed to have housed the first Christian congregation, the 199-room hotel is erected on a site of archaeological findings dating back to antiquity. The Museum Hotel Antakya pays homage to the amazing mosaics, baths, piazzas discovered during the first drills of the site and draws on the tensioned relationship of Archaeology and Architecture by intertwining the ancient and the modern.
