Sofitel Foshan Hotel: A Fusion of Luxury and Furniture Commerce

Combining World-Class Hospitality with Foshan's Furniture Heritage

Standing at 239 meters in height, Sofitel Foshan Hotel is a testament to the seamless integration of luxury and design. Located within the Foshan Louvre Group Headquarters, this hotel showcases the unique charm of Foshan, a city renowned as the "city of furniture commerce in China" and the "world's largest furniture supply hub."

Designed by CCD - Cheng Chung Design, Sofitel Foshan Hotel draws inspiration from the opulence of the Louvre Group, known for its golden interiors that exude a sense of grandeur. The hotel aims to captivate visitors from around the world, showcasing a captivating blend of vintage European furniture and contemporary minimalist designs, narrating Foshan's rich history.

One of the standout features of Sofitel Foshan Hotel is its strategic location. Situated within the heart of Lecong City, the hotel seamlessly combines the concept of a world-class hotel with a furniture expo. This unique fusion creates a one-of-a-kind experience for guests, immersing them in the world of furniture commerce while providing top-notch hospitality.

The design of Sofitel Foshan Hotel is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail by CCD - Cheng Chung Design. Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a scene reminiscent of the Pearl River Delta, with pebbled plazas and Lingnan fish ponds. The alluvial plain of the Pearl River Delta has been ingeniously incorporated into the design, paying homage to the region's ecological heritage.

The interior design of Sofitel Foshan Hotel seamlessly blends local Lingnan garden elements with French influences. The entrance features a traditional Chinese "guanmao" chair, symbolizing the warm welcome extended to guests. The furniture throughout the hotel showcases the irregularity style of the Louvre Group, with wooden blocks meticulously carved and pieced together to create unique pieces.

The great hall of Sofitel Foshan Hotel draws inspiration from the ornate Lingnan mansions, creating an inviting and homely atmosphere. The design seamlessly integrates French-style luxury, evoking a sense of living in an artistic palace. The lobby bar offers guests a dual perspective, with views of the Western garden and the furniture exhibition ground on the ninth and tenth floors.

Completed in July 2017, Sofitel Foshan Hotel is a testament to the creative and technical prowess of CCD - Cheng Chung Design. The layout planning of the furniture in different styles posed a challenge, but the result is a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality.

Sofitel Foshan Hotel has received accolades for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence, contributing to the improvement of quality of life.
