An Inspiring Arrival

Connected with the spirit and culture of its destination, traditional Chinese symbolism is subtly integrated throughout the contemporary hotel design. The artistic journey begins with a sculptural installation of Propitious Clouds, a Chinese symbol for good fortune, in the ground-floor arrival lobby. Eight art panels inspired by Chinese folding screens feature an oversized floral motif – just one of the many stylized nature elements in this garden-style oasis.

Upon arrival on the sixth floor Sky Lobby, guests are greeted with an open view into the conservatory garden – a 115-foot (25-meter) high central atrium inspired by the internal courtyard of traditional Chinese residences. Canopied by a glass roof and landscaped in the style of a classic Chinese garden with bonsai, rockeries and flowering trees, the garden is visible to guests throughout the hotel and provides energizing natural light and a picturesque green backdrop for social spaces.
