"Architects love China. Here the big cities are growing so fast, they’re like an R&D lab for innovations in architecture. Over here even the most traditional hotel chains have embraced a certain modernity of design, an emphasis on the aesthetic that might not go down so easily in another locale. All of this is by way of an explanation for how, for instance, a Radisson in Shanghai ends up looking as striking as the Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park." - Tablet Hotels
