Shangri-La Hotel Qufu, built in Qufu, Shandong, China, was awarded an Architecture & Interior Design Award for luxury scale of Hospitality Design Award 2014 by the U.S. magazine, Hospitality Design.

Qufu, located on south Jinan which is the capital city of Shandong, is the most known as Confucius’s birthplace, as well as the place Confucianism was originated from.

This is a 5-star hotel having 480 guest rooms and a large banqueting hall with 1,600m2 with its location in the center of the city.

Notably, many historical structures built around the city, such as The Temple of Confucius and Kong Family Mansion, are in perfect harmony with other buildings in its surrounding area, making the whole scenery of the city significantly unified with Chinese traditional designs.

Thus, this hotel was also considered to be harmonized with those structures around the city. It was, therefore, necessary to adjust this huge building to the smaller scale of the townscape. Also, we made great efforts to concern not simply imitating the designs of traditional architectures but having the quality of 5-star hotels remained and traditional essence assimilated into the modern designs, which will truly captivate all who visit.

『Miyako Hotel, Marriott Osaka』 has been completed.

Hotel Marriott Osaka is now open in Abeno, Osaka, Japan due to be fully completed by March 7th, 2014.

Abeno is located in the center of Osaka, convenient for those who come for business as well as for sightseeing because of its easy access from Kansai international airport and being near Kyoto and Nara which are also popular travel destinations.

 

Being known as the birthplace of Japanese continental culture, it was famous as a locus in part of Silk Road for many students, scholars and official diplomatic delegates alike during the Sui dynasty who used to travel over from China to marvel at Shitennoji, a world memorable temple, founded by then the Japanese emperor, Shotoku-Taishi.

 

Considering these notable facts, we tried to make the whole design suitable for the context of Abeno, known as a place where people had interacted and exchanged many ideas from all sorts of cultures for a long period of time. Thus its nature and own history is applied both in the interior and the exterior of the hotel with designs reminiscent of its landscape along the Japan’s railway line in western area and the Japanese traditional patterns which remind us of ISEGATA=SHI used for Kimono for a long time in Ise area.

 

Here, in Miyako Hotel, such beauty of natural essence is embraced in all aspects of fashion and attraction deeply in-rooted in the original concept for its guest rooms.
