The Wenling Intime 5 Star Hotel and Serviced Apartments, designed by Woods Bagot, are positioned between two water ways, with extensive views of the wetlands and mountains in the region. It will become an active destination to support the local culture and economy for the coastal city of Wenling in the municipal region of Taizhou, China.

The project balances the prerequisite delivery of an iconic tall tower on a peninsula with sensitive ecological and waterfront place-making. The design prioritizes pedestrian and water taxi connections to and around the site and establishes a sequence of public waterfront experiences on ground level and exclusive elevated terraces for residents and hotel guests above the ballroom.

A number of ‘highlights’ designed to ensure the ultimate guest experience include the creation of a southern waterfront dining experience and pedestrian promenade, multi-story atrium spaces in both the tall tower and podium, roof-top gardens, as well as a feature club and observation deck occupying the highest levels of the tall tower.

The project strives to respond to its adjacency to water by creating a holistic approach to water management. Additional sustainability strategies include the incorporation of a large vegetated roof atop the podium as well as harnessing the sun’s energy by integrating solar hot water and pv systems.
