Future Hotel in Chongqing, China, nears completion
New photographs taken on site show that construction is progressing well on the Future Hotel for Hilton in Chongqing, China, with the façade currently being installed. Construction will complete in mid-2023.
Facilities will include a banquet hall, a conference centre, a fitness centre, an art-themed, all-day dining restaurant and a Chinese restaurant. The hillside guest buildings will be visually discreet, forming an undulating architectural skyline which will complement the mountain ridge and ensure uninterrupted views from the lake to the mountain. Buildings will be arranged on stepped terraces following the line of the terrain, which will maximise visual access to the beautiful scenery to achieve a sense of nature fully interacting with the buildings.
Chapman Taylor won a competition to design Future Hotel, a smart hotel for the Curio by Hilton brand. This future-orientated hotel blends beautiful nature with cutting-edge technology.
The development, which will serve business and conference guests as well as tourists, will provide visitors with a personalised experience and a smart, efficient and healthy environment. An automated check-in service will use AI facial recognition technology, while a virtual "butler" will be assigned to the guest after check-in, recording guests' preferences and guiding them to an automated shuttle to the rooms.
