The Green Coast Hotel MGallery Collection is located at the end of the Green Coast Resort promenade, a hidden gem on the Albanian Riviera. Architecturally, the project draws inspiration from abandoned quarries and Mediterranean coastal forms, organising “the engraved in stone hotel” into four articulated sequences, recessed from the retaining wall creating both a strong relation towards the seascape and an intimate promenade in a shadowed canyon.
Rejecting traditional centralised hotel typologies, with 131 rooms, all featuring terraces overlooking the Ionian Sea, complemented by vibrant dining venues and a SPA incorporating local botanicals, the project aims to establish a sustainable, evolving landmark that advances Albania’s tourism economy while honoring its landscape.

3rd Place - EntreCampos by Fidelidade Property Europe
The Bauer Hotel represents over 150 years of rich, cultural heritage in the heart of Venice. The asset is currently being redeveloped into an ultra luxury hotel product and will be operated by the Rosewood Hotel Group.
In 2020, the Signa Group acquired the iconic Bauer Hotel but by December 2023 liquidity challenges were apparent and the company filed for insolvency. King Street took advantage of the complexity of the cross-jurisdictional insolvency process. King Street’s familiarity with the Venice hospitality market following its recent EUR 330 million financing of the nearby Danieli hotel and its extensive relationship network and track record in investing in Italy proved pivotal in dealing with existing creditors and leading a company on the verge of bankruptcy back to solvency, enabling the following sale of the asset at record price.
