The site of the Emperor Hotel, Qianmen was once occupied by a public bath and so the spirit of bathing and mystery will live on in the new hotel.
The design is organized not by spaces and circulation but by emotions and dreams; not by materials and details but by illusions and memories.
From the l’Occitane Spa below ground to Beijing’s largest hotel roof bar above, the Emperor will offer visitors and residents alike a new public
space and a new experience of the historic city.
“水”贯穿整个设计:水从屋顶漂浮泳池中向下流出,营造出下雨般的效果,并落入酒店内一系列高低连通的室内水道;时而是溪流,时而是瀑布,
从高到低,经过长途爬涉,最后再形成一场大雨,伴随着旁边瀑布的轰鸣,从15米的高空洒向这个水疗中心最核心的水疗池。
The design is infused throughout with water; from the pool cantilevered above the rooftop, it flows out and rains down, cascading through the
hotel in a series of interior channels; dripping down threads from which hang floating plants; drizzling in a 15m interior rainfall and eventually
plummeting down to an underground waterfall in the heart of a hidden spa.
Guest rooms are designed to provide visitors with a peaceful respite from the energy of Beijing. Each room is uniquely designed with the goal of
providing guests with a distinctive, unique and memorable experience.
