SHANGHAI JW MARRIOTT MARQUIS HOTEL

Located in the south of Pudong’s Lujiazui Financial District, the JW Marriott Marquis hotel and conference center is the first of its kind in China. Designated as the JW Marriott brand flagship in East Asia, the building establishes a new landmark place for the city. The design responds to the hotel’s vision for a unique destination, leveraging waterfront resources of the Huangpu River to create an inspiring guest experience.

The 39-story building harmonizes with the environment. The placement of the hotel tower, arrival and signature places crystallizes the smart synthesis of all elements surrounding the site. The reception area and other public amenities surround a dramatic central atrium, which serves as the nexus of the guest experience, as well as the major organizing element for the exterior surroundings. The soaring atrium and entry plaza become an urban living room that make the memorable transition between urban street and the city public park and riverfront promenade.
