This hotel stands as a serene urban oasis that integrates nature, culture, and art. The interplay of materials, light, shadow, and color delivers a peaceful and meaningful stay enriched with a human touch and a sense of tranquility for body & soul.
In the lobby, dark woods, matte stone, and hand-forged antique copper are boldly juxtaposed to create a rich textural contrast and an atmosphere of solemnity & elegance. The space achieves a careful balance of warm and cool tones, while a central floral arrangement and curated wall art soften its commercial feel, thus enhancing emotional connection.
The lobby lounge reinterprets the essence of tea culture through a contemporary lens. Inspired by the traditional tea house, it merges vintage furnishings with modern art pieces. Mint-green armchairs paired with light-gray sofas introduce a fresh, layered aesthetic. The warm flicker of a fireplace and the ambient glow from the wine cabinet together compose a retro yet refined space for tea appreciation.
Local cultural elements from Changsha City are artfully woven into the hotel. An art glass screen resonates with the restaurant's wall of vintage photographs, delicate rattan partitions, and classic patterned tiles, enhancing both brand recognition and thematic continuity. Private dining rooms feature expansive abstract paintings that introduce compelling visual contrast, fostering a subtle yet powerful dialogue between tradition and contemporary expression. Guest rooms are grounded in a neutral color scheme and organic materials. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in the scenery of the Xiangjiang River and abundant natural light, while artificial lighting at night complements the daylight, cultivating an airy and warmly inviting ambiance.
