Orchid garden is located in Longwu behind the mountains of the famous The World Heritage List West Lake. Longwu has been rich in China’s famous green tea “West Lake Longjing” since the end of the Song Dynasty. It has a long history. Later, because of the Longjing tea trade to the north in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the millennium tea town developed and flourished. Geyuan is located in the south of the foothills. It is composed of a group of Jiangnan garden buildings. The hotel covers an area of 11000 square meters, with 73 guest rooms, five restaurants, three tea rooms, and a fitness center. After the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty moved south to Hangzhou, Hangzhou once again opened up its prosperity for more than a thousand years. The bustling scene is vividly described in Marco Polo’s travelogue. At the same time, the culture, art, and aesthetic skills of the Song Dynasty deeply influenced this city to this day. Hangzhou is the most representative city in China with the ancient charm of the Song Dynasty. The hotel design takes the ancient charm of the Song Dynasty as the core of the design, introducing the artistic conception, lifestyle, and aesthetic of the Song Dynasty into it, creating a unique park experience for visitors.

Entering the hotel, the main design theme in the drop off area is the pine trees interspersed between the building and the courtyard walls, creating a picturesque scene of light and shadow falling on the white walls, resembling Chinese ink paintings. Entering the reception area, the mirror water pool in front of the window brings the courtyard scenery into the room. The towering screen surrounds a new spatial form, and the empty copper flower grid forms a huge lantern shape. The screens create rich space and light and shadow changes, warm and elegant traditional materials and colors, and are embellished with contemporary art and strong Chinese style furnishings, making people wander between classical and modern.
