The 655-key MGM Grand Sanya has opened its doors following a renovation and expansion of the Gloria Hotel on China’s Hainan Island. Architectural firm WATG added an eight-story hotel tower utilizing glass, stone, sweeping curves, and stepped elements. Meanwhile, a new six-story glass atrium and sculptural lobby drew inspiration from the butterflies and numerous sea shells from the region. Interiors by BBG-BBGM complement the property’s clean-lined architecture.
Amenities include five restaurants, a lobby lounge and café, pool, retail outlets, and conference space highlighted by a 14,000-square-foot ballroom.
