Nestled at the banks of Lake Taihu in Zhejiang Province (about 150 kilometers west of Shanghai) lies this incredible Sheraton hotel. The half-ring lights up at night, casting shadows and reflections against the surface of the lake. “The design is the perfect embodiment of water, giving every room a view of the lake, natural light, and ventilation no matter where it is located,” writes Designboom.
