Located at the southern end of Hainan Island in the city of Sanya, China, the complex focuses on two conceptual design elements: a ?lighthouse? for the hotel and serviced apartment tower and a complimentary ?rock formation? for the convention center. The 46-story hotel and serviced apartment tower rise from a conceptual outcropping of rock to become an iconic symbol of Haitang Bay, its glowing beacon visible from any direction. A unique resort in the sky, the building is organized vertically, with the arrival sequence, landscape, and incorporation of water and views all considered integral to the guest experience.
