Sofitel Anji

Developed as a flagship luxury property under the Accor Group, the Sofitel Anji (located at 469 Fuyu South Road, Anji County, near Shanghai) defines the local skyline. The architectural massing takes the striking, 199.95-meter form of a spring bamboo shoot, integrating the building seamlessly into the surrounding topography between Lingfeng Mountain and the Huxi River

The interior programming executes a highly refined balance of French art de vivre and contemporary Chinese-inspired minimalist luxury. The spatial narrative relies on clean architectural lines rather than excessive styling. In the 35th-floor sky lobby, mountain-shaped curved walls and bamboo-jointed pillars intersect with European-style parquet flooring and louvers. The FF&E schedule prioritizes restraint—incorporating subtle local bamboo weaving and white tea motifs into the finishes while maintaining a strict, uncluttered minimalism throughout the spaces, deliberately avoiding heavy or purely decorative elements that might distract from the structural forms.

The property’s amenities are distributed to maximize the high-altitude sightlines: 217 cloud-themed rooms (levels 21–36) featuring panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, smart environmental controls, and custom dry/wet spatial separations. The 36th-floor Ji Shang all-day dining restaurant, the Jiangnan-focused Xishan Yan Chinese restaurant (featuring elegant private dining rooms), and Le Bar, an immersive sunken lounge. A high-altitude outdoor infinity pool and an indoor heated pool that visually bleed into the bamboo forest, alongside a comprehensive spa, a 24-hour fitness center, and 1,300 square meters of banquet and meeting venues.
