The 22 Most Notable Hotel Openings of 2020

1 Hotel Haitang Bay Sanya: China’s tropical Hainan Island inspired the 1 Hotel Haitang Bay Sanya, the sustainable luxury brand’s first foray into Asia. Designed by Oval Partnership and Singapore studio FARM, the property, perched on a hill and surrounded by gardens, features staggered roof terraces alive with vegetation. The celebration of nature is echoed inside through raw, textured materials like pigmented concrete and salvaged roof tiles that mimic the rock escarpments of nearby mountains. The lobby’s installation of towering steel and timber “tree trunks” climb toward a screened skylight, while the narrative also extends to the restaurants, like the plant-bedecked Green House and 1 Kitchen, where a rammed-earth wall nods to the rugged coastline. Guestrooms are adorned with live-edged wood, unpolished stone, and rattan. (Photo courtesy of 1 Hotel Haitang Bay Sanya)
