Project Background
The Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre marks the second Four Seasons property in Hangzhou, following the success of the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake. Situated in the heart of Hangzhou, this new hotel seamlessly integrates modern urban design with the city’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural environment.
Design Concept and Objectives
The design concept of the Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre draws inspiration from Hangzhou’s unique cultural landscape, including the renowned West Lake, the Grand Canal, and the picturesque surrounding mountains. The hotel aims to create an immersive experience that reflects the city’s historical depth and modern energy, fostering a sense of place and belonging for guests. The public areas of the hotel showcase the vibrant and contemporary side of Hangzhou, reflecting the city’s dynamism and innovation while still acknowledging its rich tradition.
Interior Design Features
The interior design of the hotel’s public spaces, guest rooms, and event venues is expertly handled by Avalon Collective. They have meticulously crafted spaces that exude elegance and sophistication while staying true to the hotel’s inspiration. The interiors feature a blend of modern art and traditional Jiangnan cultural decorative items, including sculptures, paintings, and artisanal crafts. These artistic elements not only enhance the spatial aesthetics but also enrich the hotel’s cultural narrative, connecting the hotel with the local culture and creating a sense of place.
Restaurant and Bar Design
The culinary experience at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre is elevated by the design expertise of AB Concept, who shaped the various restaurants within the hotel. Meanwhile, Kokai Studio brought their unique design vision to the rooftop bar, which offers a spectacular view over the city skyline. The restaurants and bars are designed to enhance the dining experience with a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.
Architecture and Landscape Design
Goettsch Partners and GAD collaborated to create a striking architectural form that complements the surrounding environment. The building’s façade and overall design echo the character of the city. Meanwhile, P LANDSCAPE meticulously curated the landscaping surrounding the hotel. The design brings outdoor elements into the hotel, creating a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding natural landscape.
Sustainability and Technological Features
The hotel demonstrates commitment to environmental stewardship and technological integration through various sustainable design features. For example, the building incorporates sustainable materials and practices that reduce its environmental impact. The hotel also integrates advanced technologies to offer a heightened guest experience, from smart room controls to intuitive guest services.
