Located in the Dongtan Wetlands of Chongming Island in Shanghai, the Hyatt Regency Chongming Hotel is the first Hyatt Eco-Resort hotel in China. The design for the destination hotel organically integrates traditional Eastern Garden spaces and dispersed elements of holiday resort to create a localized “Modern-Chinese” architectural style. The structure is based on a series of courtyards interwoven with the surrounding landscape and offering breathtaking views of the Dongtan Wetlands. The project celebrates a symbiosis between Eastern and Western cultures, reflecting the classic Jiangnan architectural style popular to the region characterized by white walls, grey tiles, and bridges, while providing elegant western amenities for guests.
