Golden Eagle G Hotel Nanjing is located at the top of the world’s highest three-tower building and also Asia’s largest commercial complex. In line with the artistic level of the landmark, it stands at a height of 368 meters to present a top-class luxury and fashionable lifestyle. The interior design team define “trend” as the establishment of common cultural cognition beyond sensory stimulation. With this design philosophy, the designers combine Nanjing’s profound history and culture with modern trendy lifestyle to create a brand-new upscale and stylish hotel in China. The winding Qinhuai River has witnessed the glamour and prosperity of the city, and nurtured countless backbone talents for the country. It is the most charming scenery of Nanjing as well as the source of inspiration for YANG’s design in the stylish and luxury G Hotel. From the profound history of Nanjing, the designer extracts Qinhuai Culture as the design theme, which corresponds to the brand’s DNA of fashion, vitality and freedom. Modern design approaches applied in the space allow elements from both past and present to echo, mix yet collide and challenge with each other, creating a new experience of life. For cultural expression, the design mixes historical elements with modern art to evoke emotional resonance other than sensory stimulation. Examples include the shape of ancient city walls being reflected in the copper gates of the elevator hall, and the texture of them being translated into the massive metal frames at the lobby lounge, recalling old times and ancient culture in a modern space. Through modern materials and technology, the glinting ripples on Qinhuai River are extracted as an element adorning the exhibition atrium and lobby lounge, which delivers an elegant yet fashionable feel, whereas the shape and color of Yuhua Stone (a local specialty) are applied in furniture, carpet and throw pillow, making the space feel carefree while vibrant. What is the most creative in this design is the secondary utilization of space. The sky loggia connecting the three towers is transformed from a public corridor into an exhibition atrium plus lobby lounge, which effectively uses the space and enriches hotel functions as well. The five-storey-high exhibition atrium is also a lift hall. The back of the lift shaft, directly reaching the sky lounge at the 55th floor, is equipped with a 13-meter LED screen to make the hall a pre-function area for the adjacent multi-media center, enabling guests to experience open-style exhibitions or launch events. In the lobby lounge, guests enjoy sufficient circulation and novel F&B experience thanks to the half-open wall facing the corridor.
