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.
