As a result, the hotel boasts a contemporary design language with attention paid to the convenience aspect of travel. The decor nods to cinematic styles and the name of the space is a greeting in Mandarin to form an inviting ambiance. The rest of the space is adorned with themed decor including cultural symbols and a color palette that is bold and bright.
