Hyatt Regency Wuhan Optics Valley

A 29-story tower of glass and metal in Wuhan's Wuchang commercial district, this full-scale luxury hotel plays the business-hotel role while quietly borrowing from the boutique playbook, wooden slats opening the sightlines between bathroom and bedroom being a nice touch. Stone, tile, and wood keep things grounded; restaurants, bars, and a spa keep things comfortable. Wuhan is an ancient city that's very much still open for business, and the hotel suits it.
