Award Club Med - Hangzhou Longwu Resort

The Project

Set amongst the rolling tea gardens and verdant mountains of Longwu Tea Town in Hangzhou, Club Med Hangzhou Longwu Resort offers a contemporary retreat shaped by its remarkable natural setting. Located alongside Longmen Creek and surrounded by the landscape of Longjing tea country, the 260-key resort brings Club Med's Urban Oasis concept to life through an experience that feels deeply connected to place.

Drawing inspiration from Longwu's thousand-year tea culture, the interiors are designed around the idea of nature-infused harmony. Rather than simply referencing the surrounding landscape, the design invites it inside. Expansive glazing frames views across the tea-covered hills, while open, fluid spaces dissolve traditional boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Natural light, fresh air and uninterrupted sightlines create an effortless sense of movement throughout the resort.

A restrained palette of warm timber, natural stone, earthy browns and fresh greens takes its cues directly from the tea gardens beyond. Local craftsmanship and cultural motifs are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, adding a subtle sense of identity without overwhelming the experience. The result is a calm and restorative environment where architecture, interiors and landscape work together, creating an urban escape designed for guests to reconnect with nature, with each other and with themselves.
