Revolutionary luxury hospitality design firm LW Design Group presents the breathtaking interiors of the impressive Raffles Shenzhen.
Located on top of the 80-story One Shenzhen Bay tower, this project exemplifies LW’s dedication to creating distinctive environments that blend cultural authenticity with contemporary sophistication.
With panoramic views of the Pearl River Delta, Raffles Shenzhen redefines urban opulence, offering guests an unparalleled experience of elegance and comfort.
Group founder and chief executive Jesper Godek said: “We wanted the design to complement the views, not compete with them. Our vision was to craft interiors that reflect the cultural richness of Shenzhen while embracing the spectacular surroundings.”
As such, the hotel features 168 meticulously designed guest rooms and suites, including a grand 465-square-meter Presidential Suite.
The LW Dubai team approached the project with a focus on integrating the region’s natural beauty into the design, ensuring the vistas became an intrinsic element of the guest experience.
According to Godek: “Our vision for Raffles Shenzhen was to create a sanctuary that combines the comforts of home with the luxuries of a five-star hotel. By drawing inspiration from the surrounding beauty, cultural heritage, and modern lifestyle of Shenzhen, we were able to craft a space that resonates with both warmth and grandeur.”
An exquisite mix of luxury and functionality
From the moment guests arrive, they are transported to a world of understated elegance. The Sky Lobby on the 34th floor welcomes visitors with double-height ceilings, expansive windows, and a rich material palette of warm timber, marble, and metal accents.
The design creates a harmonious balance between opulence and comfort, evoking a sense of home while showcasing the grandeur of the Pearl River Delta.
The banqueting floor exemplifies LW’s meticulous attention to detail, as it features recessed high ceilings with concealed lighting provide a flexible and sophisticated ambiance for events, from intimate meetings to grand celebrations in the ballroom.
A thoughtful mix of materials creates texture and warmth, while subtle design elements pay homage to contemporary Chinese aesthetics.
The ultimate urban sanctuary
The guest rooms and suites are masterpieces of design, offering a serene retreat high above Shenzhen.
Neutral tones are paired with nature-inspired accents, while silk-screen wall panels and curated artifacts add depth and character to the spaces.
The Presidential Suite, the pinnacle of luxury, features warm amber hues, plush fabrics, and rich metallic finishes that create an atmosphere of refined elegance.
A refined take on relaxation and wellness
The Raffles Spa, located on the 33rd floor, is a crowning achievement of the project. LW reimagined the spa as a luxurious sanctuary, blending opulence with a homely atmosphere.
Divided into zones for relaxation and activity, the spa’s design transitions from darker, calming tones to lighter, energizing palettes.
Bronze accents, herringbone-patterned oak floors, and soft residential touches, such as cushions and candles in lucky shades of green, create a tranquil and immersive environment.
The epitome of fine dining
Raffles Shenzhen also offers a variety of dining spaces, each uniquely designed to enhance the culinary experience.
On the ground floor, a cake shop mimics the elegance of a bespoke jewelry store, complete with amethyst-inspired lighting and glass display cases.
The all-day dining restaurant on the 34th floor combines modern Chinese design with luxurious details, including black lacquered doors, duck egg blue shagreen insets, and patterned marble floors.
Guests can enjoy their meals seated on plush sofas along expansive windows, with light bronze screens creating semi-private dining spaces.
The Japanese signature restaurant is a celebration of contemporary minimalism, featuring dark marble finishes, rose-gold accents, and a cherry blossom motif.
Inspired by Japanese autumnal maple leaves, the rust velvet seating and floor-to-ceiling sake displays create an intimate, authentic dining experience.
