W Changsha

The lobby ceiling was designed to evoke a starry universe, and the architects at Cheng Chung Design apparently meant that literally in the best possible way, non-literally. This is a full-on luxury hotel, theatrical from arrival, with lavish rooms and the kind of high-end comforts that make the bill feel inevitable. The restaurants lean into contemporary Hunan cuisine, which in Changsha is exactly what you'd hope for.
