The purpose of this document is to provide Developers and Consultants with min. standard requirements that MP Hotel should meet whether planning new hotels or converting existing properties. The intent is not to create a standard design, but a consistent quality and standard, which will define the guest’s level of expectation and a min. level of quality for all MP Hotel properties. The document will become a living document for the client/operator, project/construction managers, and designers. It is not intended to be specific design brief of a project. It will act as a framework within which a project specific brief may be developed and will provide all parties involved with a clear picture of the specific requirements. It will eliminate potential misunderstandings between all parties throughout the duration of the design process. This is not 7
