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.
