just fine, 6.5/10.......

The building's got quite a unique facade design for a hotel. However, I don't really think that the design the architects used goes well for a building of this height. It's kind of tacky, and the antenna/whatever-it-is on the top makes it look rather cheap.

Not that bad!

6/10 Not thad bad, even though it looks kinda "cheap" to me in some way. The mast/spire on top doesn't make it look better.

Just plain weird. 6/10

Aren't there any better pics? I can't really judge this one..

6/10 not my style

Scary. 6

Now they obviously didn't spend much money on the design. Seems that a 258m tower in Chongqing should really be nothing special at all o_O
Good thing about it is that it's not ugly... Just plain boring.

4.5/10

Sorry but I don't like this tower. The colors, the facade, the overall design and the top are all pretty horrible.

4.0 for the tower + 1.0 addition for the impressive height =

5.0/10.0

6/10

Nothing special.

boring 5/10

3/10 Ugly, boring, it looks like built in 19th century.

6/10

1/10

Garbage.

Chinese should stop being so stingy. Spend some money and hire competent architects from America and Europe.

Mainland Chinese architects know nothing more than drawing garbage buildings.

it's tall:) 7/10

For a 5-star hotel, this is unacceptable.

1 / 10.

5/10

the setbacks look odd and the colour on top doesn't match the reast of the building. and the spire makes it even worse.

if it were to turn out like the rendering, i'll give a 6.5

5/10 looks like whoever designed this one got a little lazy...

nothing special 4.5

k I'm Chinese, I love my motherland and I give this building a 3... or less...

it would've been a 10 if they built it 20 years ealier though.

It's just bad architecture!

The building looks as if it's designed by some elementary school kids.

3.5/10 bland and boring.

why didn't they just copy? there're so many great towers out there.

why didn't they just copy? there're so many great towers out there.

Good question. They've been copying almost everything. Why not copy something that matters a lot such as a building?

8. Good building. Regards.

Modern glass windows and old-style red-brick-like facade. Not a very good combination.
