About Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai Внатрешна реновација
Хуа Тинг Хотел Шангај е внатрешна реновација на хотел кој за првпат бил отворен во 1983 година. Елементите поврзани со идентитетот на зградата се зачувани, вклучувајќи го ѕидот на рецепцијата, вдлабнатиот простор и општиот функционален распоред. Во лобито се наоѓа заоблено спирално скалило со стаклени ракохвати кои нежно светат ноќе. Вдлабнатиот пејзажен базен беше претворен во тивка зона за состаноци со преградни паравани кои нудат приватност. Препознатливата црвена боја е задржана и комбинирана со топли карамелни тонови. Камен отстранет во 1983 година е гравиран со годината и е изложен како уметничко дело.

Behind the Design
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.

- Design Challenge
- The 800 cramped guest rooms were redesigned into diverse options, catering to modern business and leisure needs with layouts optimized for contemporary hotel operations. Outdated facilities were replaced with human-centered details, such as minibars inspired by afternoon tea trays and curved shower enclosures. The decor combines Maillard caramel tones with Ancora Red, preserving Hua Ting's warmth while adding a modern touch.
