Abstract
The adaptive reuse of abandoned industrial buildings is a very hot topic in the post-industrial modern society. The re-equipment of these buildings and territories can be carried out in different directions for different functions: exhibition complexes, public centers, museums, trade enterprises. This study focuses on the renovation of such industrial buildings into hotels in China. The experience of reconstruction and related literature has been studied. The study found that since most of the post-industrial buildings in China are small in size, they are suitable for repurposing as boutique hotels. Large industrial buildings and complexes in mega cities in China can be converted into luxury hotels. Renovation of old industrial buildings into hotels makes it possible to double the average lifespan of buildings approximately up to 60-65 years.
