The Eastern Visionary Architect of Hotel Design, Mr. Luo Dan pioneered the "Screenplay-Style Design" philosophy—revolutionizing spatial narratives through cinematic storytelling, where architecture breathes with cultural soul.

With nearly 30 years of expertise, his disruptive design thinking and cross-cultural integration have elevated DDA International to the apex of global hotel design. He has crafted over 200 landmark hotels for international giants including Wyndham, InterContinental, Hyatt, and Hilton. Iconic projects include:

• Underwater Restaurant at InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay

• Beijing Capital Airport Wyndham Hotel (transportation hub flagship)

His award-winning design philosophy merges cinematic artistry with spatial experiences, excavating Eastern cultural DNA. The masterpiece Foshan Royal Wyndham Grand Hotel—reimagining Lingnan water-town heritage through "fish-water symbiosis"—won global accolades:

• Silver A’Design Award (Italy)

• Asia Pacific Designers’ Grand Prize

Driven by the mission to "evolve cities through design", he champions spaces that empower cultural continuity and sustainable futures. Leading projects like Hunan Yongzhou’s urban renewal, he bridges commercial value with social aesthetics.
