From the moment a visitor steps through its theatrical threshold, there is very little about the new Grand Hyatt Guangzhou that does not pique the visual sense. A huge slab of sandstone forms one wall and is set with warmly illuminated windows; a wall of glass looks out over a park, a green oasis in this neighbourhood; and an indoor bamboo garden is strikingly intersected by a glass bridge above it. It is not merely hype when the renowned California-based architect responsible for the hotel, Peter Remedios, calls his latest project, scheduled to open in spring 2008, "an architectural tour de force".
