Parc Omega Hotel

Radical Innovation is delighted to announce the Parc Omega Design Competition for 2021, a collaborative effort between Radical Innovation and CITQ (Corporation de l’industrie Touristique du Quebec). This prestigious program offers architectural professionals and students from across the globe a unique opportunity to conceptualize a hospitality experience that harmonizes seamlessly with the natural environment of a nature park.

The competition challenges participants to envision a 120-Key Hospitality Design Concept situated within the picturesque Parc Omega in Quebec, Canada.

Established in 1985 and opened to the public in 1991, Omega Park was initially conceived as a place to discover North American wildlife in the captivating 2,200-acre Outaouais region. Over the years, the park’s vision evolved to include innovative offerings while remaining committed to preserving and respecting the beauty of nature. Parc Omega transcends being just a park or a hotel; it is a space that successfully integrates people and animals within the embrace of nature.

Animals + Human Beings + Nature = Parc Omega Hotel

Parc Omega is not just a park or a hotel. It is a place that can integrate people and animals into nature.

Taking inspiration from the Venn diagram, a visual representation of interconnectedness, the Parc Omega Hotel’s two-story building complex is ingeniously designed with varying-sized circles. Five main circular buildings are interconnected by two pedestrian bridges, further enhancing the connection between different elements. Additionally, the building complex incorporates two inner yards on the first floor, providing visitors and hotel guests with an enriched natural experience.

The hotel complex houses the welcome area, restaurant, wellness center, conference center, as well as guestrooms and suites. The lobby, restaurant, and conference center are seamlessly interconnected, fostering a sense of unity and accessibility. To ensure a serene environment for the hotel guests, the wellness center is thoughtfully positioned as an independent building.

Strategically located near the park’s entrance, the Parc Omega Hotel offers unparalleled convenience for both guests and visitors. By preserving the existing accommodation area, the design honors the natural surroundings and minimizes disruption to the wildlife. In line with our commitment to sustainability, solar panels are integrated into the structure, showcasing our dedication to environmental consciousness.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a welcoming ramp leading to the reception area. Here, four reception counters cater to individual and group check-ins. The reception area also features a lobby lounge, providing a comfortable space for relaxation. For added functionality, study tables and computers are thoughtfully incorporated into the study area, acknowledging the modern-day need for both leisure and workspaces.

The central section of the lobby houses essential facilities, including the cloakroom, washroom, and staff office. Three lifts provide easy access for visitors heading to the restaurant. The conference center boasts a main room and six salons, with movable sliding partitions offering versatility in space arrangement. When combined, the sliding partitions transform the area into a grand ballroom. The corridor, doubling as a pre-function room, seamlessly connects with the conference center.

As our world adapts to the impact of Covid-19, we recognize the importance of incorporating functional workspaces within the hotel. To address this need, study areas equipped with study tables and computers are thoughtfully provided.

Moving to the restaurant area, guests exiting the lift find themselves in the welcoming restaurant reception. The restaurant is divided into two sections, catering to smaller and larger groups of hotel guests and visitors alike. The second floor restaurant accommodates 104 seats and features a private dining room for an intimate dining experience.

Notably, the guestrooms and the restaurant reception are thoughtfully interconnected, facilitating seamless access for guests between the two spaces.

The wellness area is accessible from the reception through two distinct routes, allocated separately for males and females. Private changing rooms are available within the wellness center, along with amenities such as the cool and hot pools, treatment rooms, steam, and sauna facilities.
