About Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai Renowacja wnętrza

Hua Ting Hotel Shanghai to renowacja wnętrza hotelu otwartego po raz pierwszy w 1983 roku. Zachowano elementy związane z tożsamością budynku, w tym ścianę recepcji, obniżoną przestrzeń oraz ogólny układ funkcjonalny. W lobby znajdują się kręcone spiralne schody ze szklanymi balustradami, które nocą delikatnie świecą. Obniżony basen krajobrazowy przekształcono w spokojną strefę spotkań z parawanami zapewniającymi prywatność. Charakterystyczny czerwony kolor został zachowany i połączony z ciepłymi karmelowymi tonami. Kamień usunięty w 1983 roku wygrawerowano datą i wyeksponowano jako dzieło sztuki.

Behind the Design

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.

Production Technology
Key elements like the reception desk wall, the iconic staircase, the sunken space, and the functional layout—all integral to Hua Ting's identity—were meticulously preserved, bridging the past with the present.
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 Outdated facilities were replaced with human-centered details, such as minibars inspired by afternoon tea trays and curved shower enclosures.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.
Research
Honoring the Classic, Reimagining the Eaves" served as the design's foundation. Hua Ting's legacy lies in its Shanghai-style DNA—blending tradition with modernity, inclusivity with innovation. The team embraced "Inheriting the Classic, Continuing the Modern Canvas" as their guiding principle, striking a balance between preservation and innovation to merge the old Hua Ting's refined elegance with the grace of a new era.
Inspiration

Project Duration
The project started in May 2024 and finalized in October, 2025 in Shanghai, China.
Operation Flow
The signature red of Hua Ting, a color ingrained in collective memory, was retained. The building's original S-shaped structure, symbolizing "Spring" and the era of reform, was reinterpreted into the space's arc design, blending interior and exterior seamlessly. A stone removed in 1983 was preserved and engraved with "1983," transforming it into an artwork that marks the passage of time.
