HOTEL INDIGO QING MING BRIDGE

Wuxi, China

2023-2025

A bridge is a meeting place, a possibility, a metaphor.

Set along the historic Grand Canal in Wuxi, Hotel Indigo Qing Ming Qiao draws inspiration from the city’s layered past and its dynamic present. The design captures the bold spirit of the neighborhood, where the centuries-old Qingming Bridge remains a symbol of connection and continuity. Taking cues from Wuxi’s legacy of silk, ceramics, and commerce, the interiors blend rich materials, saturated tones, and intricate detailing to create a visual language that feels both rooted and forward-looking. Public spaces are infused with energy—unexpected contrasts, sculptural elements, and curated textures invite guests to explore and engage—while guestrooms offer moments of refinement and local storytelling. Throughout the hotel, the canal’s influence flows not just in narrative, but in movement, pattern, and rhythm, weaving a strong sense of identity into every corner. The result is a vibrant, layered experience that celebrates Wuxi’s cultural heritage with contemporary sophistication and playful edge.
