The first 5-star hotel in Wales , the Rocco Forte, is a 12-storey, 136 bedroom hotel constructed within Cardiff Bay . The hotel includes a swimming pool, leisure pool, and a health and fitness centre. Rocco Forte Hotel sits beside the bay with its elegant wings alight.

When natural light levels drop at early evening, the atria is lit from above. This is achieved through the glass ceiling using high output projectors. The architectural structure above the building, described by the architect as the ‘light kit’, forms a major part of the external lighting treatment.
