The Mood - One of the luxury chain’s latest opening in China is also its most resplendent in recent years. Occupying the top floors of a skyscraper in the harbour front business district, the sophisticated milieu of this mint-condition property is unparalleled by any in the city, and quite possibly, the Greater China region. The aspects of this lofty establishment are handsome and thoroughly modern, and despite the cumbersome brand directive to incorporate the facets of the four seasons in the design brief, prolific design studio HBA has raised a vision that stands out with sensuous accents, comfortable furnishings and endless tracts of curtain walls that let in the stunning seaview across lobby, restaurants and rooms. The Four Seasons Dalian is at print time the superlative establishment to surpass in the region.
