This is a secluded hotel nestled amidst clear waters, lush mountains, blue sky, and misty clouds. Stripped of the wild, clumsy, and rough traditional approaches, we adopt the fusion, exquisite, and business touch as the starting point of soft furnishing design. Furniture is coated with eco-friendly water-based paint and designed based on the "comfortable and natural, people-oriented" green concept.
The lobby's art background wall is a window to the soul of the entire hotel. Based on the ancient legend of the Great Phoenix River, we add the phoenix as a finishing touch, bringing out the theme in the language of the pattern with the abstracted phoenix looking back.
At the all-day Chinese haute cuisine restaurant, guests enjoy exquisite urban fine dining while living in the wilderness. Feast Restaurant has 13 distinctive private dining rooms, all named after traditional Chinese colors, reminding guests to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way and feel the value and meaning in the journey of life. The fabulously green mountains afar have a hue as dark as the eyebrows of a gorgeous lady (Qingshan Yuandai); nearby, the stream appears to be adorned with countless tiny droplets, casting a dreamy mist.
The unique "Qingshan Yuandai" private room is equipped with a separate pantry. Embraced by the antique hue and refreshing greenery, guests can enjoy a cup of tea with a couple of friends, chatting freely, listening to the tea art master's explanation of Yixing's unique clay teapot and black tea culture, and gaining insight into the oriental philosophy of tea and the appeal of a leisurely life.
The bamboo sea and thick woods are natural shields that keep the noise and hustle-bustle of the world at bay. In the midst of clear waters and lush mountains, the hotel is equipped with 36 elegant and luxurious rooms. In a simple and natural tone, the interior leaves a lasting impression on guests with a tranquil and serene style that blends into the verdant mountains, rolling hills, and dreamy mist.
