"We are thrilled by the introduction of the inspiring, immersive Andaz brand to this dynamic city," said Stephen Ho, president of growth and operations for Asia Pacific, Hyatt. "Rapidly developing Shenzhen Bay is the perfect location for our vibrant Andaz brand, and we sincerely appreciate our hotel owner, China Resources Land, for its trust and support with entrusting this iconic hotel to Hyatt. With China Resources Land's rich experience in real estate management, together we are bringing an unscripted local experience to Shenzhen."
Design Approach
Created by acclaimed New York designer Tony Chi, Andaz Shenzhen Bay has been concepted for like-minded people to meet and stimulate their senses with design elements inspired the distinct spirit of the locale. Plantation shutters, tactile leather, hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper, gold-leaf paneling, graphically tiled marble and glossy lacquered finishes unite to create a series of distinctive, luxurious spaces with the occasional surprising twist.
Arrival
As guests approach Andaz Shenzhen Bay, they are greeted by tall hedges, sculpted and manicured into unexpected organic forms, tucking away a covered entryway with duck-egg blue plantation shutters, Crittall-style glazing, glossy plaster columns and manicured boxwood topiary. Guests are greeted by an Andaz Host and ushered through an entry lined in eye-catching murals hand-painted in gold dust.
Guestrooms
Andaz Shenzhen Bay offers 220 spacious guestrooms overlooking the breathtaking Shenzhen Bay, the Shenzhen Sports Center or the China Resources Headquarters. Each room is between 538 to 2,690 square feet (50 to 250 square meters) and decorated with a soothing mix of duck-egg blue plantation shutters and Calacatta Luccicoso-style marble. Rooms also feature modern comforts including 65-inch IPTVs, Dyson hairdryers and smart mirrors with internet access. Guests can enjoy exclusive bath amenities by well-known French master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel while the complimentary minibar is stocked with custom-made Andaz IPA beer, Voss water, local Sarsae soda and a variety of local snacks including baked-pork Phoenix cookies.
Those looking for more space can choose from the hotel's 10 suites, spanning 1,184 to 2,690 square feet (110 to 250 square meters). In addition to a separate living room, suites house a dining area, powder room and bathrooms with a circular tub and twin vanities. For the ultimate indulgence, guests may opt for the Presidential Suite, located on the 23rd floor with panoramic views of stunning Shenzhen Bay.
Dining
Led by Argentinian Executive Chef Federico Heinzmann, Andaz Shenzhen Bay offers five innovative restaurants and bars. Chef Heinzmann, who has previously worked at Park Hyatt Tokyo and Park Hyatt Seoul, aims to create a culinary adventure through authentic native ingredients and flavors. The restaurants adhere to the brand's 'farm-to-table' philosophy of offering fresh, seasonal, local produce, while accompanying wine lists offer the best from boutique vintners. Each bar infuses freshly squeezed, seasonal fruit and herbs within their neighborhood-inspired cocktails, while guests are encouraged to 'make their own' if they wish.
On the ground floor, Mayflower is a modern interpretation of a traditional Chinese teahouse, furnished in a comforting blend of dark timber plantation shutters, Japanese noren fabric dividers and celadon velvet banquettes. Whether seated indoors or on the terrace, guests can enjoy refreshments throughout the day including freshly baked Chinese and Western pastries and house-made bubble tea, accompanied by a tea master to prepare the perfect tableside brew.
On the same floor, Bar 1919 is adorned with bold interiors reflecting a members-only club. Beneath a 22-carat moon gold-leaf ceiling and walls wrapped in rosewood veneer paneling and russet leather upholstery, guests can savor a premium single-malt, fine wine or classic cocktail while enjoying live music. Complementing the drinks is a curated selection of bar snacks including pork croquettes, drunken shrimp and a daily chef specialty from the carving trolley.
Spanning the entirety of Level 6 is The Club House, dedicated to a private dining experience comprised of three distinct dining venues, including East Room, West Room and Veranda.
Within the East Room, guests can sample fresh seafood and refined signature cuisines from Canton and Eastern China while enjoying spectacular views of Shenzhen Bay. Design elements include eclectic chinoiserie-style hand-painted wallpaper, French ormolu frames, gold leaf walls and cane screens.
West Room specializes in premium meat and seafood cooked in a Pira charcoal oven. Satisfy your craving for the perfectly prepared steak, as the restaurant allows guests to choose the cut, then suggests optimum methods of preparation. Also available are classic salads, grilled fish, seafood on ice and a show-stopping dessert trolley.

No photos on the official website so did a Google search and came across this website with tons of photos. Property looks absolutely gorgeous and quintessentially Tony Chi. Also reminds me of Rosewood Hong Kong but more tastefully done.

The design of the hallways makes it seem like a labyrinth 
It feels like a beach resort, which is weird, because it isn't.
