Hotel Solutions Partnership has entered into a strategic alliance with Lab for Planning and Architecture (LPA), a Spanish based architectural practice with excellent credentials in the fields of strategy, design and construction. The alliance will offer advisory, consultancy and design services to hotel and resort owners, operators, developers, investors and lenders.

LPA's team specialises in environmentally sensitive development in warm climates. They address the dilemma of building a mixed-use development that incorporates a resort in a pristine landscape, whilst maintaining its beauty and bio-diversity. Their design encourages beaches and existing fishing and agricultural businesses in and around a resort to flourish. Solutions will typically include some or all of the following: green roofs, permeable pavement options, strategies for recycling waste and off-grid solutions. LPA's services have been developed for hotels and resorts located in the temperate zone, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, where average temperatures are above 20 degrees C.

LPA is authorised to use BREEAM®*, an environment assessment method and rating system for buildings. There are now 200,000 buildings with certified BREEAM® assessment ratings and around a million registered for assessment since the method was first launched in 1990.

Ian Graham, founder and CEO of Hotel Solutions Partnership, said, "We are pleased to be partnering with LPA. With this alliance we are extending our areas of expertise for hotels and resorts located in warm and hot climates. We are also adding the fields of bio-climatic design and ecological and sustainable development to our sustainability expertise. Whether building new hotels and resorts or operating existing ones, our clients have a very broad range of services and advice that can be uniquely sourced from Hotel Solutions Partnership and its strategic partners."

Juan Palop-Casado, co-founder of LPA commented, "With Hotel Solutions Partnership we will provide a solution to owners and operators of hotels and resorts which is differentiated in the market because of its depth and breadth. Our services will span initial assessment, to concept, brand and operational advice, asset management, architectural design, sustainable development and implementation support."

*BREEAM® sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation and has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised measures of a building's environmental performance. A BREEAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building's specification, design, construction and use. The measures used represent a broad range of categories and criteria from energy to ecology. They include aspects related to energy and water use, the internal environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes.
