About Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai Ristrutturazione d'interni
L'Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai è la ristrutturazione degli interni di un albergo inaugurato nel 1983. Sono stati conservati gli elementi legati all'identità dell'edificio, tra cui la parete del banco della reception, lo spazio ribassato e l'impianto funzionale generale. La hall accoglie una scala elicoidale curva con parapetti in vetro che di notte emanano una luce tenue. La vasca paesaggistica ribassata è stata trasformata in una tranquilla area riunioni con partizioni a schermo che garantiscono privacy. Il caratteristico colore rosso è stato mantenuto e abbinato a calde tonalità caramello. Una pietra rimossa nel 1983 è stata incisa con l'anno ed esposta come opera d'arte.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The project is an interior renovation of the Hua Ting Hotel Towers Shanghai, which has been destined for distinction since its founding in 1983. As China’s first five-star hotel established through a Sino-foreign joint venture, it served as Shanghai’s inaugural gateway to the world during the early days of reform and opening-up.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Every corner of the building, from the lobby to the executive lounge, narrates "the new story of old Hua Ting", honoring tradition while embracing the future. The lobby features Shanghai's grandeur and elegance. The original spiral staircase and escalators were replaced with a "dragon coiling" curved spiral staircase featuring glass handrails that glow softly at night. The sunken structure of the landscape pool was retained and repurposed into a tranquil negotiation area, with screen partitions offering both privacy and transparency. A high skylight allows sunlight and greenery to interplay beautifully.
