The NI HAO Hotel is set to open, nestled in the busy Jinjiang District in Chengdu, China. The space is designed by the team at Vermilion Zhou Design Group with a focus on creating an affordable alternative for the younger generation of travelers.
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. The team relies on color, signage, and typography to honor its cultural heritage.
