SHANGRI-LA SHOUGANG PARK BEIJING Area of intervention: architecture, landscape design, interior design.

The new 5-star hotel will be constructed within an abandoned industrial area and inaugurated in 2022, on the occasion of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The entire complex, named Shougang Park, is around 20 km from the Forbidden City and is where many of the Game’s sports venues will be situated. This integrated project by Lissoni Casal Ribeiro regards the architecture of the façades together with the design of the interiors and that of the internal and external green spaces.

In 2012, the historic Café Royal in the center of London was transformed by David Chipperfield Architects into a luxury hotel. In 2018, the project of Lissoni Casal Ribeiro rethought all the public areas: lobby, concierge, two restaurants, and a sushi bar.
