HEMU HOLIDAY INN RESORT
25.000 SQM___HEMU, CHINA
TIMELESS WILDERNESS, INVITING WARMTH
How to create the premises for one of the world’s most recognizable hospitality brands to insert itself organically in a timeless landscape dotted with dispersed log cabins and artifacts of traditional nomadic lifestlyle? Could the solution inherently convey the hospitality brand’s design ethos of “inviting warmth” while bringing about new vital energies in this remote location ?
Featuring a striking modern design that references the familiar roof lines of traditional local villages, the architectural approach distributes almost 200 rooms in two distinct wings connected with a diamond-shaped lobby.
In this austere wilderness, the usage of warm local materials combined with a spatial design that maximizes natural light while distributing accommodation and public functions into smaller, village-like pavilions is crucial in creating a signature Holiday Inn experience that is warm, inviting, and full of human energy.
An integrated convention center with facilities for 400 guests ensures that the hotel becomes a magnet for activities and events during all seasons.
