The long coastline,
By the blue sea,
Chasing the sunrise, watching the sunset,
Experience the beauty and romance of Sheraton Xiangshan Ningbo Resort.

In September 2022, Sheraton Hotel Group announced the official opening of Sheraton Ningbo Xiangshan Green Town Resort. Nearly ten years in the making and with a total investment of $1 billion, the company has defined this opening as another important milestone in the "Sheraton brand renewal journey".

The interior design of the hotel was undertaken by CCD and the lighting was coordinated by Singapore PLD with the functional lighting of the hotel provided by the five-star hotel lighting brand, Aero Light.

Instead of the traditionally warm "old cadre" colour palette, the Sheraton Ningbo adopts fresh and contemporary elements inspired by the Xiangshan mountains and captivating landscapes that surround the hotel. A multi-level design is employed to create texture within the space, while the artistic conception of the fishing port is incorporated to provide comfortable and relaxed space for guests.

Unique Lobby Design

The open space and use of light is designed to inspire an emotional reaction within the guests as they enter lobby of the hotel. Through the vertical glass screens of the lobby and the coffee bar, guests can directly overlook the awe-inspiring seascape through beautifully crafted, floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The interior design of the lobby uses concave and convex carvings in ash wood to cleverly integrate the textures of ocean waves and tides with the shape of fishing nets. The lighting uses soft Akin series lamps to outline the corrugated lines, and combines with Alab series semi-shading underground lamps. With the additional effect of wall washing, the whole space feels more flexible and in tune with the landscape beyond.

Use of vertical glass screens is thoughtfully set to separate the lobby from the Sheraton’s Coffee Bar, More. The strip grille lights from the Aillen series are supplemented by space lighting, creating a well-layered ‘stone forest’ art space which contrasts beautifully with with the seascape that can be viewed from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The spacious lobby is connected to the 200 square-meter outdoor terrace, where guests can enjoy the magnificent sea views and feel the breeze on their faces.

The Comfort of Home From Home

The hotel has 270 spacious, modern rooms and suites ranging in size from 43 square meters to 281 square meters. With floor-to-ceiling windows and open outdoor balconies, guests can enjoy panoramic view of the mountains and sea during their stay.

Each room boasts a light wood finish to complement the bright, transparent space and a series of delicately-positioned lights aid in the creation of a warm and homely ambience.

Given its proximity to the beach, the hotel is equipped with a series of features to create the perfect haven for families.

Family rooms feature lively cartoon-patterned bedding and soft furnishings. They even feature matching children's tents to provide younger guests with all the fun and fantasy they could wish for. Use of warm lighting creates a soft, calm space for families to relax and enjoy quality time together.

A Taste-Changing Dining Experience

The catering service within the resort hotel is extensive and of the highest quality. The lobby bar, Sheraton Coffee Bar and two restaurants have been highly praised for their unique and beautiful offerings.

The Sheraton Coffee Bar, More, acts as the focal point of a new catering concept, provides guests with a smooth transition from day to night through the constant changes of intelligently-designed lighting scene.

The Food Light Full-Time Restaurant’s design brings to life the charm of a local fishing port with the contrast of exquisite industrial features. A wall of locally-sourced rock contrasts with the bespoke woodern flooring and combines beautifully with black, white and gray geometric pattern tiles. Natural textures echo the inspiration taken from the landscape beyond. In this atmosphere, the Alab invisible spot series light belt is adopted, which bathes the restaurant with a cool, intimate atmosphere.

YUE Chinese Restaurant incorporates a refined, chic style with traditional island elements. The ship-shaped reception desk was matched with metal fishing lamps, echoing the culture of the local fishing harbors.

The Art of Gathering

With 1,615 square meters of meeting and event space, including a grand ballroom, a multi-purpose hall and five conference rooms, Sheraton Ningbo Xiangshan Green Town Resort is the ideal place for guests to host large conferences, banquets and social events.

In order to meet the lighting application requirements of switching and adjusting to different scenarios, Aero Light equipped the banqueting hall with new generation of ATL intelligent remote sensing lights, to cater for the diverse range of guest requirements.

The annual Xiangshan Fishing Festival is held every September, bringing with it a rich history that is ingrained within the culture of local fishermen. The Sheraton Ningbo Xiangshan Hotel’s aim is to welcome guests from all over the world to experience the rich local culture and traditions and stunning scenery of Xiangshan.

The Xiangshan Fishing Festival is a huge cultural attraction for the area, giving tourists and friends the chance to familiarize themselves with the local area and fall in love with the beautiful coastline.
