Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Taoxichuan Hotel in China, as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand. Developed in downtown Jingdezhen, a city in the Jiangxi province, the hotel pays tribute to the city's heritage of ceramic craftsmanship.
The hotel is located within a five-minute walk from Ceramic Art Avenue Taoxichuan, where guests can discover the city’s centuries-old heritage of porcelain-making alongside a new generation of present-day ceramics in a mix of museums, galleries, markets and shops. It is also close to many scenic spots and is a 25-minute drive from the Northern High Railway Station and Luojia Airport, which provide direct connection to other key cities in the region.
The residents of Jingdezhen have been producing fine porcelains spanning many centuries and imperial dynasties. The city’s population is comprised of more than 30,000 artists, one of the highest concentrations of artistic talent in China.
Occupying three interconnected buildings and designed by Britain’s David Chipperfield Architects, Taoxichuan Hotel has 196 guestrooms, including seven suites, which have been adorned in warm colors and earthy textures of wood, leather, canvas and ceramic tiles. All guestrooms are furnished with modern amenities and artisanal elements crafted from ceramic, while private balconies provide an ideal spot to take in the city views.
Guests can get a taste of authentic local and regional Chinese cuisines at the hotel’s Cobalt Restaurant. Featuring modern interior design rooted in Jingdezhen’s classic cobalt blue and white porcelain, the restaurant is conceived as an extension of an adjacent outdoor garden, providing a "picnic-in-the-park" dining experience. For special occasions, Cobalt Restaurant also offers four private dining rooms with butler service. For guests seeking a quiet space to unwind or socialize, Emerald Lounge serves light bites, afternoon tea and an extensive selection of fine teas, wines and cocktails.
Guests are given an opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative atmosphere and local culture of Jingdezhen in unique experiences offered at the hotel. They can also get a first-hand experience of ceramic-making, taught by local craftsmen. After a day of work or exploring, guests can recharge with a swim in the hotel’s heated indoor pool or with a workout in the 24-hour fitness center.
