Events That Built Houses

the densest case in this volume: LHL-H-627 Raffles and Fairmont at Katara Towers, Zulal, The Ned Doha and The Chedi Katara all opened to one date · a country’s hospitality landscape made unrecognisable in four years

the highest hotel occupancy Dubai had recorded in fifteen years, and the moment the emirate’s inventory was absorbed rather than merely built

the hotel stock of eleven cities raised to a standard in four years

built LHL-S-395 Krasnaya Polyana as a mountain resort cluster where there had been a village

the only recurring event in this volume, admitted because LHL-168 Yas Island was built around a circuit and not the other way round

the restoration of Souq Waqif was completed for these Games — the market was saved from demolition by a sporting deadline

the case every later city cited: a waterfront opened, a beach made, and the hotel stock of a city rebuilt around a fortnight

LHL-H-608 Al Bustan Palace exists because of this meeting, and the country’s luxury record begins with it · the earliest event in this volume and the clearest: a summit that left a palace

the Hotel Okura and the first generation of Japanese international houses were built for it, and the Shinkansen opened days before

the season for which Moscow’s grand hotels were built or enlarged

the origin of the exposition as a builder of hotels, and of the modern convention trade

the Eiffel Tower and, with it, the first mass tourist season a European capital had to plan for

the first event to bring more visitors to a city than it could house, and the reason the purpose-built railway hotel exists
