RESEARCH ABSTRACT: With a semi-hidden arrival to express the elegant character of high-end resort hotel, Sanya Kimpton hotel owns a drop-off area with tropical forest theme and a unique space which can bring surprise to guests upon their arrival. The meeting area have an independent drop off zone on the west side which connects with the wedding garden of the hotel. As of wedding facilities, a wedding chapel with the theme of "holy cloud" can be found in the middle of a small artificial lake by the mountain.
The main public area of the hotel, such as special restaurant, pool bar, fitness center, entertainment, children facilities are concentrated in the first floor with the concept of "innovative village", and modern style swimming pools, water pools, lotus pools and water falls decorates the facilities together with characterized landscape.
CHALLENGE: The location of this hotel has certain distance to the coast and coastal protection forest can also be found there. Thus lobby view to the ocean is blocked if the height is below certain level. By flexible function allocation and development of inner garden, all public areas except lobby and all-day dinning are concentrated in lower levels to enjoy the view of inner garden. The lobby and all-day dinning are lifted to the top of the building and integrated with garden in the air to make a maximum utilization of natural resources, and this solution not only perfectly resolved the limitation of ocean view, but also created a great lobby view that can enjoy the sight of mountain, river and ocean together.
