The Wuhan Marriott Hotel Wuchang proudly stands tall in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Ideally situated within the landmark CCFC, a towering 263-meter building on Zhongbei Road in Wuchang, it is adjacent to Chu River Han Street and surrounded by Sand Lake and East Lake. The hotel meticulously weaves a narrative that spans across millennia in every space. Echoing Heidegger's profound insight, "We dwell poetically in the midst of being," the design transcends mere spatial configuration. It is a creative endeavor deeply rooted in history, crafting a sanctuary where light becomes a conversational partner, fostering a dialogue that bridges time.

Drawing inspiration from the rich cultures of the Chu-Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the hotel's designers have breathed new life into these historical eras through masterful craftsmanship and innovative spatial layouts. Every corridor traversed feels like a tactile encounter with history's footprints, inviting guests to imaginatively witness the tumultuous clashes between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and the intellectual battles between Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao. Each meticulous detail showcases the essence of Eastern aesthetics, seamlessly fused with the elegance of Western classical design, creating a space that embodies a harmonious blend of time and existence.

This cultural synthesis transforms the lobby into a vibrant intersection, bridging the gap between past and present, East and West. It captivates the attention of every visitor and inspires profound reflections on the intersection of history and design. The design aims to create a space that not only showcases cultural heritage but also fosters intellectual engagement and appreciation for the intricate interplay between tradition and innovation.

The architectural aesthetics of traditional rooftops within the city have served as timeless inspirations, leading us to adopt a unique design approach for the reception area's feature wall. This wall, a harmonious blend of classical and modern artistic elements, serves as a picturesque scroll, elegantly welcoming each visitor drawn to these iconic features. The feature wall not only showcases a seamless fusion of past and present but also serves as a testament to the city's rich cultural tapestry.
