The hotel sits in the centre of the Dong'an Lake Park in Chengdu, China, next to civic amenities including Universidad Sports Centre, multi-functional stadium and swimming pool. With a prominent yet spacious location, the project is immersed in an urban oasis that connects public transportation to the city.
The architectural language connects the urban context through a linear spatial planning, shaping a multi- dimensional skyline with the cascading terraces. The public plaza and hotel entrances are connected to the park, enabling an efficient layout and ensuring the ease of accessibility to the hotel.
The hotel houses 351 south-facing rooms, optimising each room view with natural landscape and lake. While the cascading terraces at the sides create a vibrant architectural form and rooftop gardens, undulating facade mimics the ripples of Dong'an Lake, glittering like waves under different angles and sunlight.
Through a close connection with the Dong'an Lake and cotton flowers, the Hotel will provide a tranquil environment and a pleasant staying experience for all the guest.
