Ji Hotel’s evolution from design 3.0 to 5.0 emphasizes a natural, relaxed style that has become essential in business travel. It welcomes over 60 million guests annually. In 5.0, design choices favour open, adaptable spaces, providing an atmosphere of effortless comfort.

Artistic Atmosphere Refined design elements create a serene mood. The lobby’s blurred spatial boundaries, anchored by a misty pine, add subtle elegance, while the tea bar’s fragrance offers travellers a refreshing pause.

Sustainable Responsibility: Inspired by white rice porridge, The breakfast area’s warm design connects guests to local agricultural excellence. An intelligent dimming system and modular construction prioritize energy savings and reduce environmental impact.

Unforgettable Impressions The innovative “Tea Space” blends privacy and openness, allowing guests to enjoy relaxed interactions and a lasting, memorable experience.

In an era of abundant choices and rising anxieties, Ji Hotel focuses on timeless, essential design, offering calm within modern hospitality.
