The texture of the crystal comes from purity and penetration without impurities. Only under strong light, the crystal can reflect the colors rainbow. The texture of life is also gradually refined and turning bright after polishing, then send out a charming luster.
Modern intercity travel is always busy and hurried, we are forced to get used to self-isolation unconsciously from the chaos and noise. In the new version of Crystal Hotel, our design gets back to essence and purity. In terms of accommodation experience, providing “Fine-Quality” and “Proper Feeling” for guests are our goals.
“Whiskey” is the theme of our hotel, just like a British gentleman leads you into an exclusive club. When the guests get a little tipsy, they can still be surrounded by comfort and purity.
Lighting guides the guests into the hotel, transforming through different objects and spaces, which instantly release guests from the pressure of busy life.
The consequence of the increasing convenience of modern life is that we need to make more decisions every day than before. Through each decision, our own tags and personality would be gradually established. “Pursuit” is the motivation of life, after every harvest and loss, it would become the thickness of life.
Keeping both open and private, the “Fine-Quality” is reflected in the visible and touchable texture; “Proper Feeling” ensures that the perception would be transformed positively once the guest enters the hotel.
The new Crystal Hotel is trying to create an accommodation experience that is luxurious but not extravagant, essential but not artificial. Through the washing and refraction of light, we filter out the noise as well as discomfort of travel. Every stay can offer the completed rest, to let the guests shine their light again.
