1. Introduction
InterContinental Shanghai Expo, perched by the Huangpu River next to Nanpu Bridge, is a luxury international – brand hotel. With 384 contemporary guest rooms, suites, and historic 1930s villas, it offers a unique blend of modern comfort and Shanghai’s rich history. The hotel’s prime location, a short drive from the Central Business District, makes it an ideal base for exploring both ancient and modern Shanghai. At Hitecdad, we’re excited to present lighting solutions that enhance this hotel’s distinct charm.
2. Lighting Solutions for Different Areas
2.1 Guest Rooms and Suites
- Contemporary Rooms: For the modern – style guest rooms, we suggest a combination of ambient and task lighting. Recessed LED downlights with a warm color temperature (around 2700K – 3000K) provide a cozy ambient glow. These lights can be dimmed to create a relaxing atmosphere for rest. Bedside table lamps with adjustable arms and brightness offer focused task lighting for reading or working on a laptop. The lamps’ design can be sleek and modern, complementing the room’s contemporary decor.
- Historic Villas: In the historic 1930s villas, we aim to preserve the vintage charm while providing modern comfort. Elegant wall – sconces with a classic design can be installed to create a warm and nostalgic ambiance. These sconces can be paired with ceiling – mounted fixtures that have a retro – inspired look. Additionally, we can incorporate smart lighting controls, allowing guests to adjust the lighting to suit different moods while maintaining the villa’s historical aesthetic.
2.2 Public Areas
- Lobby: The lobby, with its grandeur, requires lighting that makes a statement. Large, ornate chandeliers can serve as the centerpiece, casting a warm and inviting glow. Accent lighting can be used to highlight the lobby’s architectural details, such as columns and decorative elements. The chandeliers’ design can be inspired by Shanghai’s art – deco heritage, adding a touch of local flavor.
- Restaurants and Bars: In the hotel’s dining areas, the lighting design should enhance the dining experience. Pendant lights with unique designs can be used to create a focal point over each dining table or bar counter. For example, in a fine – dining restaurant, crystal – adorned pendant lights can add a touch of luxury, while in a more casual bar area, modern – styled pendant lights can provide a trendy ambiance. The color temperature of the lights can be adjusted according to the time of day and the type of event.
- Meeting and Event Spaces: In the meeting and event spaces, a combination of general and task lighting is essential. Ceiling – mounted LED panel lights can provide uniform general illumination. For presentations or performances, adjustable spotlights can be installed to highlight the stage or specific areas. Smart lighting control systems can be integrated to create different lighting scenes for various types of events.
2.3 Outdoor Areas
- Riverfront: Along the Huangpu Riverfront, the hotel can use landscape lighting to enhance the stunning views. Solar – powered pathway lights can be placed along the walkways, providing a soft glow that not only illuminates the path but also highlights the river scenery. String lights can be hung in the outdoor seating areas, creating a romantic and inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy the river view.
- Gardens: In the hotel gardens, a mix of up – lights and down – lights can be used. Up – lights can be directed at trees and plants to create a dramatic effect, while down – lights can be installed on the building facades to provide a warm and welcoming glow. The lighting design should be carefully planned to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment.
