The Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort is a marvelous attraction.
Spectacular hotels both high and large are becoming more architecturally innovative and awe-inspiring by the day!
The Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort, a donut-shaped hotel, is not only a hotel but an all-in-one getaway! Located in the city of Huzhou, near Shanghai, the 27-story arched structure looks like a horseshoe, but is actually shaped like a oval, with two floors below ground connecting the structure.
Designed by Beijing-born architect Ma Yansong, the tropical resort offers 321 spacious guest rooms, including 44 suites and 39 villas, all with private balconies. Each has everything you need to stay busy or relax, including a large work desk with an ergonomic chair and an iPod docking station. The marble bathroom includes a sunken bathtub and a walk-in rainforest shower.
Maintain your workout regimen at the Huzhou’s modern fitness center, featuring state-of-the-art machines, cardiovascular equipment, and a stretch area, or take a refreshing dip in our indoor or outdoor pools.
The fitness center at the Hizhou offers residents an array of options to get in shape.
Within a haven of tranquility, pamper yourself with a treatment in the holistic Shine Spa. Choose from a range of treatments that have originated throughout the world. The spa’s facilities include a steam room, saunas, and a hydrotherapy pool in each locker room.
Three restaurants and two lounges offer a mouthwatering array of international favorites and provincial specialties. Go to Feast for a delicious variety of all-day dining options and Yue, for authentic Chinese meals. Private dining rooms are available in all restaurants.
The Lobby Lounge provides a relaxed social venue for a casual coffee break or an after-work cocktail with family, friends or colleagues. Starlight offers tranquil panoramic views of Lake Taihu.
For those people who never leave the office, bring the office with you! The Grand Ballroom is ideal for large, lavish gatherings or conferences, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences are guaranteed on the 1,600-square-meter wedding island. Private meeting rooms on the 22nd floor offer a heightened level of exclusivity, while the best lake view can be appreciated from the 300-square-meter multipurpose Taihu Room on the 27th floor.
The hotel will officially open in October 2013, and guest rooms will cost about $400 per night.
