Shangri La Beijing

Shangri La Beijing

Standard:

Designed by Lissoni and Partners The hotel is constructed within an abandoned industrial area and was inaugurated on the occasion of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The entire complex, named Shougang Park, is around 20 km from the Forbidden City and is where many of the Game’s sports venues are situated. The 5-star hotel managed by Shangri-La (Shougang Group) includes a series of interconnected structures divided between the Main Building housing the common areas and the Guestrooms Building that will accommodate 282 rooms.

This integrated project regards the architecture of the façades together with the design of the interiors and that of the internal and external green spaces.

The existing structural framework of the Main Building is maintained but emptied of its interior to reveal a skeleton of clear industrial heritage consisting of concrete walls and steel roof trusses, evidencing those ravages and markings of time that have transformed it into a fascinating backdrop.
