The Chow Tai Fook Finance Centre in Guangzhou is a 530m tall mixed-use skyscraper, currently within the top 10 of the world’s highest. It also boasts the world’s fastest elevators which can operate at an incredible 76kph. Located in the Zhujjang New Town, Financial District of Guangzhou, the building is part of a trio of structures, with the 439m tall IFC in one direction and the 604m tall Canton Tower in another.
The building was completed towards the end of 2016, with many of the elements within already operating such as the Grade A K11 Office Space and K11 Art Mall.
Set to open in 2019, the 5* Rosewood Hotel Guangzhou will occupy the top 16 floors and podium of the building. Home to over 250 guestrooms and 350 residences the hotel will also provide multiple food and beverage outlets. All areas of the hotel will showcase spectacular views across the Guangdong Province, one of the most populous places on the planet.
B+W were initially contracted to provide the Engineering Consultancy for the Spa and Pools. However, this contract was converted to a design and build package to enable the progression of the installation. Our scope will consist of Male and Female Hot Pools, Cold Pools, Salt Saunas and Steam Baths within the Spa. We will also be responsible for the Children’s Pool and Vitality Pool located in the main wet area.
At over 430m high, this is will be the highest installation from ground level within the B+W Spa Portfolio.
