The proposed 5 stars Hotel is to serve the potential business class oil investors, politicians and the government dignitaries, intended to find value for money and comfort. A hotel, no matter the luxury, is to serve its guests and to ensure comfortability and satisfaction. This had lead the researcher to adopt the efficacy, the purpose and the biology of the heart serving the human body. To ensure effective service, and comfort therefore, the thesis sub-topic "ENRICHING INTERlOR ENVIRONMENT TO ENHANCE COMFORT" is the focus of the researcher because he shares the philosophy that one spends the majority of ones life indoor, in the interior spaces created by the structures and shells of building. Emphasis is therefore placed on basic design principles and how design relationships determine the functional, structural and aesthetic qualities of interior spaces. To achieve the exhotic interior environment, philosophy, elegance, scale and proportion without forgetting the value of innovation, the researcher collected data, studied the existing eminent hotels, correlated behavioural architecture, analyzed spaces, functions, image and style to evolve an -extravagantly designed luxury hotel that can match with its international counterparts across the globe.
