Niccolo Changsha: Towering 93-story skyscraper palace with Niccolo Kitchen, Sky Pool on 93rd floor, and Xiang River panoramas

Reigning with dizzying ultra-contemporary cosmopolitan majesty from floors 86 to 93 of the monumental Changsha IFS Tower 1 (the tallest skyscraper in Hunan province) in the bustling Furong District of Changsha, Hunan, China (overlooking the Xiang River and Mount Yuelu, directly connected to luxury IFS shopping, 35 minutes from Changsha Huanghua International Airport), Niccolo Changsha opened in 2018 as Central China’s premier luxury sky palace grand hotel (part of Wharf Hotels). Masterfully designed by celebrated design firm AB Concept with soaring architectural glass by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the 241-room luxury haven combines sleek Italian travertine marble, custom contemporary art installations, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing panoramic city clouds. Featuring the acclaimed dining institution Niccolo Kitchen, the sky lounge BAR 93, an extraordinary 93rd-floor heated indoor freshwater swimming pool touching the clouds, and the palatial Wellness Center, this property is Changsha’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Hunan metropolitan glamour and soaring skyscraper splendour: liveried City Ambassadors greet guests at the ground-level IFS porte-cochère before ascending high-speed glass elevators to the 93rd-floor Sky Lobby with double-height ceilings, contemporary portrait art, and chilled Hunan jasmine tea with warm Xiang-style lotus seed pastries. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Changsha cultural, culinary, and shopping pursuits: descending directly into the luxury flagship boutiques of Changsha IFS shopping mall (connected to hotel), taking private guided cultural tours of the historic Yuelu Academy and Orange Isle (Juzi Zhou) along the Xiang River (10 minutes away), exploring the ancient artifacts of the Mawangdui Han Tombs at the Hunan Museum (15 minutes away), swimming in the heated 93rd-floor Sky Pool looking down upon the city, indulging in tea and mineral therapies at the spa, sipping craft cocktails at BAR 93, and reserving dinner at Niccolo Kitchen.

Palace living balances active Hunan urban discovery with serene high-altitude sky wellness: The 93rd-Floor Wellness Center features private luxury treatment suites, Finnish saunas, steam rooms, an indoor heated freshwater sky swimming pool, and therapies utilizing organic Chinese tea extracts and essential oils. Dining is an extraordinary Hunan-Western culinary summit: refined gastronomy at Niccolo Kitchen (featuring wok-seared Xiang river fish, prime steaks, and international Grand Crus), contemporary Cantonese cuisine at The Tea Lounge, mixology at BAR 93, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 241 rooms and luxury executive suites located on floors 86 to 92 styled by AB Concept in warm neutrals, Italian travertine bathrooms, and massive floor-to-ceiling glass framing the Xiang River, Mount Yuelu, or city skyline ranging from 45 to 260 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
