Intercontinental Hotel Zhuhai: the ocean and the islands in luxury design

The Zhuhai Intercontinental Hotel, designed by CL3 Architects, combines design and nature: inspired by islands and the ocean, the 47-story skyscraper features artistic installations and refined spaces, for a unique experience blending art, luxury, and evocative landscapes

An ocean and islands inspired hotel

Located in Zhuhai, a city in southern China known for its 148 islands in the Pearl River Delta, the Intercontinental Hotel Zhuhai is an architectural masterpiece representing one of the most iconic architecture projects by the CL3 Architects studio. With its 47 floors, the wave-shaped building evokes the movement of water and the natural beauty of the surrounding islands, themes that are reflected in the captivating artistic installations in the lobby and reception area.

A monumental entrance and refined design

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a 15-meter high entrance, characterized by a system of rhythmic and orderly windows that organize the interior spaces. The experience continues with a large landscape artwork, called "3 islands," which abstractly represents Zhuhai, Macao, and Hong Kong. Made with crystal and metal cutouts shaped like mountains, the installation is surrounded by lush trees, creating a three-dimensional composition that evokes nature and the territory.

The hall: a journey through art and architecture

Upon entering the hall, the undisputed protagonist is a 10-meter-high wall depicting an aerial view of 28 silver islands, suspended in a transparent sea of mirrors and metallic weaves. The carefully designed lighting transforms the installation into a dynamic element that changes appearance between day and night, giving the hall a unique and evocative atmosphere.

A design that celebrates luxury and attention to detail

Behind the reception, the theme of islands and water finds a harmonious continuation. Every detail is carefully crafted with extreme precision, combining precious materials, art, and design to create an environment that embodies intercontinental luxury. The lobby, with its fusion of art and functionality, is the symbol of the elegance and comfort that characterize the experience offered by the hotel.
