| China News May 2026 |
We have received a new report supported by GARDE!
In early 2026, The PuXuan Hotel and Spa opened the Guerlain Spa as its first flagship spa in mainland China, located within the Guardian Art Center complex near the Forbidden City in Beijing. Designed by Ole Scheeren, the building features a basalt fa?ade with circular glass openings inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting. The development functions as a hybrid space combining a hotel, gallery, and cultural venue. The spa interior follows the hotel’s restrained material palette of dark stone, timber, and metal, complemented by soft, indirect lighting. Artworks and crafted objects are subtly integrated throughout, reinforcing the connection to the adjacent art center, while the overall design reflects a fusion of French brand identity and contemporary Chinese architecture |
