The Great Six Hainan Lobbies
Far from the sight and hectic pace of modern life, lies a fragment of the South China Sea, glistening with shades of blue, which Mother Nature has sprinkled with islands and atolls, amongst them, the majestic island of Hainan and the Great 6 Hainan Lobbies, perfectly placed, almost tantalisingly, overlooking the long, white, sandy beaches.
Crowne Plaza Sanya - The Ming Dynasty Lives Again
The Ming Dynasty is revived in the open-air design of this lobby which allows the warm sea breeze to flow through this “Museum of Chinese Art”. Clad with Ming vases, a traditional Chinese lounge displaying ancient Chinese characters and Ming style Chinese lattice on every window allowing hints of sunlight to sneak in, make it a modern ancient wonder.
Mandarin Oriental Sanya - Exuding the Mystery of Zen
Made from stone, wood, iron and glass, the lobby seems like it has evolved from the mountain. The design is modern but traditional – adhering to Zen principles of simplicity, naturalness and “yugen”, supremely built with a high ceiling featuring mysterious lanterns that illuminate the shadowy darkness.
Howard Johnson – A Space of Boundless Beauty
Inspired by the Caribbean, Zen and traditional Chinese design code, this 3000sqm open-air lobby is perhaps the most beautiful and grand in. As part of a million dollar investment, the lobby’s opulence is matched only by the sparkling view of the ocean it beholds and its furnishings of the finest wooden carvings and traditional Chinese teak window lattice.
HNA Beach and Spa Resort – An Imperial Blend of Luxury
Costing a whopping $20 million, its no wonder this lobby looks and feels like an Emperor’s Palace. It was unveiled in February 2008 with a combination of furnishings and architecture from four Dynasties – the Ming, Qing, Sung and Yuan. There is 18 karat gold covered walls, delicate ornaments carved from 70,000 year old Mammoth tusks and lobby furniture made from royal Hainan Rosewood, all blending together to create a feeling of a true Imperial Palace.
Yalong Mangrove – The Gateway to a Majestic View
Guests will feel relaxed in this open-air masterpiece which showcases ocean views as close as 30 metres. You will be able to meet and mingle at the lounge that sits majestically on this sparkling backdrop while the open air design lets the warm sea breeze flow over your head and swirl around this unique lobby.
Yuhai International – Museum of Culture
The curious symbols and unique style of Hainan’s native Li people mark their presence throughout the lobby’s open-air design. The traditional character of the Li people overlooks the entrance of the lobby, which contains native teak furnishings, curiously designed chandeliers and a grand Li cultural artwork, all providing a unique atmosphere to this open-air masterpiece.
