Hotel design, what goes where?

My next task was to experiment with different layouts of the spaces involved with a hotel complex. The first relationship I looked at was the placement of the retail side (stores, bars ect..) and the accommodation. I cut out slips of paper to represent each space and placed them on a sectional of the site. There was a strong theme of keeping the accommodation above and in some cases separated from the retail side. This made the retail areas a central point, either visitors would go there from outside the sight with interfering with the residents, or the residents would decend to the retail space. Both occupants of the space would mingle there but wouldn't interfere with the residents private spaces.

Site Analysis and the HOTEL concept

My research into the location and distances of various facilities showed that there were plently of apartment spaces area the area, the closest being 100m away from the site. This shows that there isn't an immediate need for this style of accommodation. There were two large areas containing bars, cafes and restaurants around 350-450m away, so there was an opportunity to create more of these places at the site. The closest retail block was 450-500m so there was no real problems with adding retail spaces to Howard Smith wharf. Taking all of these into consideration I decided the best complex to take involve accommodation, entertainment, eating spaces and commercial spaces would be a hotel/resort complex.
I have begun to analyses the space and separate it into what spaces can go where in the following diagrams.
