    (Lead City University, 2022-12) Michael Ayodeji KUMUYI
    Every country on the globe depends on the tourism industry because it has the potential to increase a country's GDP. Lagos has a lot of tourist potential for the economy to grow being characterized by surface water bodies, beaches and the lagoon which makes it a hotspot destination. Unfortunately, there has been poor development of recreational facilities in Lagos state, mainly due to hospitality, maintenance problems and personal safety. This study therefore assesses the current situation of tourist facilities in Lagos city as well as the architectural design considerations which are influential to the design and construction of a sustainable and resilient tourist facility by carrying out different case studies on existing local and foreign Hotels using physical observation method to determine how the design considerations can be integrated in the design of a hotel building. Findings shows that non-toxic materials and thermally responsive materials are to be used in interior building spaces and habitable areas for safety, with the a visually pleasing and adequate circulation flow in building structure. It is recommended that awareness be created about the shifting trends in hospitality of hotel buildings with set up standards and the government should enact laws that will control the expansion of hotels in Nigeria.
