The Sifang Hotel Nanjing, Autograph Collection
Jiangsu
The Sifang Hotel Nanjing, Autograph Collection is shaped by an unusual architectural collaboration involving 24 Chinese and international architects. Its buildings respond to the terrain, placing public spaces down towards the valley and dividing guestrooms along the ridge into smaller volumes. The result is a hotel whose form follows the landscape rather than a single conventional block. Accommodation is supported by three restaurants, an indoor swimming pool and a fitness centre. Meeting spaces extend the property beyond overnight stays, while its dispersed architectural approach gives a visit a particular interest for guests drawn to contemporary design and the relationship between buildings and their surroundings.
