The hotel contains 323 guestrooms and suites with skyline views and open-plan bathrooms, dining outlets and more than 4000 square metres of meeting and banquet space. The interior refers to the position of the city as a port on the Yangtze River, so water is a central element. Colours and forms taken from Chinese landscape painting guide the theme.

Design Challenge
With nearly 50000 sqm design area, the hotel design process is very sophisticated and functional involving planning, schematic design, developed design and construction documentations stages. Due to the diversity of functions within a hotel building, a large number of specialists like architects, structural engineers, lighting, signage, AV consultants, contractors, suppliers were involved and required to coordinate with during each critical design stage. The design needs to meet the requirement of Marriott’s international brand strategy while take the owner’s operational, budget, time schedule requirements and aesthetic issues into consideration with very tight time schedule-one and half year for the whole project from scratch design to construction completion and opening for operation.
Research

Inspiration
As one of the port city along the Yangtze River, the Zhangjiagang hotel design details inspired from its unique geographical location. Water was a central element within the whole design. The designers used Oriental Aesthetic Chinese Shanshui Painting as a nursery of ideas in style. The designers took the color and shapes from the Mountains and Water as the cultural theme inspiration and used modern materials, texture and finishes to perfectly present a pleasurable experience to guests.
Project Duration
The project started in Oct 2017 and finished in April 2019 in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu,China
Operation Flow
By replanning the design of the existing building, the hotel became more energy intelligent. By redesigning the floor plan configuration, the designers maximize the efficient use of the hotel space to meet the operation needs. Special attention was paid to a hotel’s spatial relationships to ensuring that hotel spaces were used efficiently.The perception theory was applied to enhance the humanization level of the hotel and get the customers’ affirmation.
