Manhattan Business Hotel

Manhattan is the island that invented the modern business hotel the tower on a small island surrounded by water where commerce and accommodation intersect at high density and high speed. Male is a flat coral island surrounded by an atoll that has developed into one of the Indian Ocean's most commercially active capitals. The Manhattan Business Hotel in Male City draws the analogy explicitly: a contemporary and exotic hotel in a city that shares Manhattan's fundamental geographical character an island, surrounded by water, running at the speed of commerce and serves the varied needs of the business visitor who comes to the Maldivian capital to work rather than to holiday.
