The world’s coolest new hotel brand Artyzen is opening up two new properties in Nanjing and Shanghai this month.

Attracting global headlines for its stunning architecture, Artyzen Sifang Nanjing is the Group’s first Artyzen Hotels and Resorts property and its second operational hotel in China.

Located at the foot of Lao Shan National Forest Park, northwest of Nanjing Foshou Lake, the awe-inspiring Artyzen Sifang Nanjing is a 68,000 sqm masterpiece, and on the outskirts of downtown Nanjing and a train ride from Shanghai.

Artyzen Hotels and Resorts is an upscale lifestyle hotel brand that delivers immersive local experiences that inspire the modern-day nomad. The brand provides a contemporary take on traditions and craftsmanship, offering guests a journey of cultural and artistic discovery. Each property is designed to celebrate the unique heritage of its locale, with the design team working closely with local artists and artisans to weave traditional techniques and traditions into modern design concepts.

Artyzen Sifang Nanjing is a showcase of local traditions as well as the talents of over 20 award-winning architects from around the world, including Arata Isozaki, Steven Holl, Kazuyo Sejima, Ettore Sottsass, and Wang Shu, the first Chinese winner of the Pritzker Prize. The sprawling property offers 254 rooms, including 93 rooms in 20 one-of-a-kind villas, each designed by a famous architect. The choice of building materials, colour schemes, motifs and furnishings are inspired by the region and its art forms. Guest rooms are bathed in natural light and offer lake views and views of the surrounding woodland landscape.

With 6,329 sqm of function space that can be configured to suit anything from MICE functions and fashion shows to weddings, private gatherings and even film shoots, Artyzen Sifang Nanjing also offers an unparalleled range of exceptional indoor and outdoor venues. The unique food and beverage concepts at Artyzen Sifang Nanjing include Labbra Rosse, which serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisines; Chuan Palace, which offers Cantonese, Huai Yang and Sichuan cuisines.

At the same time, the diverse social, dining and event spaces make this a place where you feel connected, where you can soak up the local culture and get to know the city a little better.
