Nanjing Beehive Hotel Management Co., Ltd

Country / Region

China

The design inspiration for the Beehive Hotel comes from the blooming flowers in the depths of the jungle, making it a paradise for bees. The two towers of the hotel are designed as two huge beehives, hanging on cliffs, gathering bees to attract butterflies. Its design features are green, ecological, natural, and luxurious. The design of the beehive was triggered by the ecological bees, which in turn led to the creation of a large sculpture of the hotel's central artwork, the "King Bee"; The first thing to see when entering the hotel lobby is the crystal chandelier located above, which is also the most eye-catching one. Its prototype is the layered honeycomb; The design inspiration for the hollowed out rest area also comes from the concept of a honeycomb; The hotel's largest banquet hall - the Beehive Hall, is inspired by the design of bees, with four upright lights resembling the tail needles of bees.
