Tidal rhythm inspired art work [Photo provided to ehangzhou.gov.cn]

An elevator ride up to the sky lobby marks the beginning of a meandering path along the Qiantang. Guests are greeted by dynamic wall art that is deliberately sporadic, inspired by the tidal bore, symbolising an airy flow of waters that invites nature into the sky lobby. The sweeping panoramic views over the city's new CBD also engenders a sense of awe and inspiration – a key highlight of all 324 guest rooms, 24 suites, restaurants and public areas.
