Hotel Indigo Zhuhai Xiangzhou
Xinxiangzhou, Xiangzhou District; Zhuhai, China
Hotel Indigo Zhuhai Xiangzhou gives the city’s contemporary hotel scene a more locally specific design story. In Xinxiangzhou’s business district, the interiors draw on overseas-Chinese heritage through Lingnan brickwork and Southeast Asian-style shutters, then introduce references to modern sport and movement. The result is an urban hotel with a visual identity that rewards attention beyond the guest room. Tea snacks and afternoon tea connect the social spaces with Guangdong food culture, while cocktails extend their use into the evening. An outdoor pool on the twenty-fifth floor provides an elevated retreat above the city. The location beside the National Fitness Centre and G Plaza also places shopping and transport connections within the wider neighbourhood. This is particularly appealing to travellers who want design to explain something about the destination. Its distinction is the way local history and present-day urban energy are translated into materials, food and shared spaces, giving a business-area stay a clear sense of place.
