The Turkish Hotel Built Above an Ancient Ruin


In 2009, a construction crew digging the foundation for a new hotel in Antakya, Turkey uncovered an ancient Roman mosaic. Construction of the hotel was halted, while an excavation took place.


The 200-room Museum Hotel Antakya decided to incorporate the archeological find into the hotel’s blueprints. Eleven years later they opened with guest rooms overlooking the archaeological site in a stacked honeycomb structure.
