The design, by Tony Chi, is a touch conservative...it just means the visual pleasures are subtle ones, derived from balanced lines and expertly selected materials.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Directly connected to Taikoo Hui shopping complex in Tianhe, the tower puts premier dining, luxury boutiques, and twin metro lines downstairs.
The rooms
Starting at sixty square meters, accommodations frame skyline views through floor-to-ceiling glass alongside dark herringbone timber floors and deep circular bathtubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-metre temperature-controlled outdoor pool stretches across a landscaped sundeck bordered by massage pavilions and city towers.
The spa
Private suites have dedicated steam showers, and bodywork draws on Valmont skincare and custom Quintessence oils.
Fitness and thermal baths
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the TechnoGym fitness centre, and the bathhouse holds mosaic-tiled vitality pools.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Two-Michelin-starred Jiang by Chef Fei serves Cantonese classics, and LIÁNG mixes cocktails infused with regional Chinese botanicals.
