The hotel, guided by classical Chinese cultural elements, had its main ceiling structure hand-painted and fired by a master craftsman from Jingdezhen. The ceiling pattern drew inspiration from the design of "Double Phoenix Playing with Peonies" in the Forbidden City in Beijing, condensing noble and harmonious imagery into unique spiritual connotations, interpreting the cultural appeal of traditional Chinese craftsmanship in a unique artistic language.
Woodwork and wall panels were custom-made by different factories and installed on-site to shorten the construction period and reduce environmental pollution caused by on-site production. All shapes were constructed using mortise and tenon joints, allowing for disassembly and assembly without damaging the items. This laid a solid foundation for quick, convenient, and efficient maintenance during later operation. Furthermore, to practice the design concept of green sustainability, the project recycled a large amount of waste wood from the woodwork.
