LUXURY HOTEL UNDER THE LAND 

WHAT IT IS?

The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, also known as the “Shanghaï Shimao InterContinental,” is a stunning luxury hotel built into a former quarry in Songjiang, China.

The most important of the hotel this archicture. The hotel is built into a former limestone quarry, with its structure designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape. The unique topography influenced its design, making the hotel appear as though it is part of the natural rock formations.The hotel has 18 floors, with two of them submerged underwater. This vertical design maximizes the use of space and offers guests various views, whether above ground or underwater.

The blend of modern architectural elements with natural materials creates a visually striking appearance, making it a landmark in the region and a symbol of innovative design.

WHY IT´S COOL?

  • Unique Location: Built into a former quarry, the hotel seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, offering stunning views and a distinctive architectural experience.
  • Underwater Rooms: Some rooms are partially submerged, providing guests with mesmerizing underwater views of the aquarium and marine life, creating a surreal and tranquil atmosphere.
  • Innovative Design: The hotel features a striking design that incorporates elements of the quarry itself, showcasing a blend of modern architecture and natural beauty.
  • Eco-Friendly Focus: The hotel emphasizes sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and practices, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious travelers.
  • Luxury Amenities: With high-end accommodations, a spa, dining options, and adventure activities nearby, it offers a luxurious experience that caters to various preferences.
  • Adventure Opportunities: Located near attractions like the Shimao Shanghai Dreamland amusement park, guests can enjoy a range of activities, from outdoor adventures to cultural experiences.

WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?

Nowadays, it is very difficult to surprise people with something new. I believe this project represents a new step in the hospitality industry, and such projects will only attract a huge flow of tourists. I would like to highlight the work of the architects who demonstrated how a building can be a part of nature.This shows that creativity knows no bounds; even a quarry can be transformed into a place that will become popular.
