Shanghai-based interior design studio Vermilion Zhou Design Group has unveiled the all-new JI Hotel in Shanghai’s Jing’an district. With over a decade of time-tested excellence, this latest version has surpassed its 3.0 predecessor and expanded to over 2000 outlets, welcoming a staggering 60 million guests each year.
As the world of business travel continues to evolve, the firm has confidently accompanied this progress, transforming it from an optional to an essential experience, from low to high frequency, and from planned to spontaneous.
The hotel lobby effortlessly blends different functions, blurring the boundaries of space. Standing tall as a symbol of the hotel brand, the welcoming pine tree exudes a misty and artistic charm. The new version introduces an innovative tea bar area, replacing the traditional hotel bar.
This area seamlessly integrates hospitality with the hotel’s own tea culture, while also offering a retail space for hotel brand merchandise. It has quickly become a signature feature of the new Ji Hotel. The tea bar area, filled with the aroma of tea, provides a refreshing and sincere experience for weary travelers, rejuvenating them from fatigue and restlessness.
With a sincere heart, the firm accompanies every guest on their journey, shouldering the responsibility for sustainable future development. The breakfast area, visually reminiscent of Ji Hotel’s famous white rice porridge, soothes every traveler’s “Chinese appetite” with its fragrant offerings, providing an experience that supports agricultural excellence.
An intelligent dimming system has been implemented throughout the hotel, allowing for energy-saving lighting scenes and a reduction in carbon emissions. The hotel’s decoration takes into account factors such as replication, construction efficiency, environmental protection, and the practice of genuine modular assembly.
By meticulously combining aesthetics and technology, the hotel aims to minimize environmental pollution and energy consumption during the construction phase.
