Luxurious hotel lounge with modern decor, featuring a wavy teal wall, linear fireplace, round seating, ambient lighting, and a leafy green plant.

Inspired by the seafaring spirit of South Sea expatriates and local maritime heritage, HBA Shenzhen reimagined key public spaces – including the entrance, lobby, lounge, and all-day dining venue. The design blends nautical references with nods to Nanyang culture, creating a refined, sense-of-place experience that reflects both the hotel’s unique setting and storied local identity.
