▶ New Hilton Hotel in Mongolia ◀

This is the new Hilton Hotel designed by VMX Architects for Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Company in Inner Mongolia, China. The concept of this well-known hotels is creating something go beyond the generic, at the same time symbolizes the spirit of Inner Mongolia by not only on the logic and philosophy side behind but taking into account the specific circumstances of Erdos. It is surrounding landscape and the adjacent country club functions, which are already foreseen for this site, especially the golf course.



The urban plan dictates a maximum height of only three storeys, but they designed it into a round building so it can takes maximum advantage of the view in every direction.




Do we really need some fancy hotel like this in Inner Mongolia in the futures or they can reconsider spending the money elsewhere instead of this while there still have 114 million in the country is still illiterate?
