Though it might be the largest guitar building, it might not be the first. “So it’s not just an exterior facade, the curving of the building will be identical to an authentic guitar.” “It will be the first building in the world that’s truly to scale designed as an authentic guitar,” James ‘Jim’ Allen, Seminole gaming CEO and chairman of Hard Rock International, told the Sun Sentinal. Vertical fins up the tower’s midline resemble strings, while horizontal banding act as ‘frets’ (though unlike real frets they extend outward to mimic the curve of the instrument). Guitars are a popular motif all over the Hard Rock hotel and restaurant empire, but this is the first of the company’s buildings to so closely resemble the actual instrument.
Right now, the existing Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood hotel has almost 500 rooms, as well as a casino, meeting space, restaurants, and a lagoon pool. At the tower’s base, guests can swim underneath waterfalls in plunge pools, relax in private cabanas, and partake in water sports in a giant artificial lake. The 450-foot-tall hotel will boast more than 600 rooms, around half of the complex’s total, plus a 41,000-square-foot spa and a few restaurants. Hoteliers and musicians smashed guitars in Hollywood, Florida to celebrate a construction milestone at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, a $1.5 billion entertainment complex featuring a mega guitar-shaped hotel.
