By embedding narrative, heritage, and design into a cohesive whole, WATG has crafted Hotel Wuxi as more than a destination—it is a living story of culture, serenity, and contemporary luxury.
Designed by WATG, Hotel Wuxi is an authentic, hyper-localised retreat set in the serene heart of Dangkou Ancient Town. The design draws deeply from the Jiangnan-style water town’s historic fabric—where canals thread through the landscape and moon bridges elegantly arch over tranquil waterways. WATG’s integrated design celebrates this heritage while crafting a refined and immersive guest experience.
Inspired by the intellectual legacy of grandmaster Hua Tai Shi, the design language translates literary and cultural themes into tactile, experiential spaces. The Living Room—comprising the lobby and lounge—is envisioned as a traditional library, paying homage to Hua’s pursuits. Towering bookshelves frame the space, while natural materials such as timber and stone evoke a timeless elegance. The feature wall transforms into a bar, offering flexibility while enhancing the guest journey.
