Song Hotel Chengdu

Chengdu is known as a national famous historical and cultural city, the birthplace of the ancient Shu civilization and one of China’s top ten ancient capitals, with a long history, and it is the birthplace of the culture of Han Dynasty. There are allusions about Dujiangyan, like “Minjiang River comes from the sky, magically cut off the ancient pile” and “to pursue Taoism at Qingcheng Mountain and enjoy water at Dujiangyan”, which adds an indelible mark to this land full of culture.

The hotel lobby is a grand and magnificent building with a length of 24m, which is extremely rare and the highest in China. In combination with the historical elements of Shu-Han, a simple, grand and magnificent space feeling is created. In the meantime, the traditional architectural practices are inherited. The lobby is decorated with lacquer columns and blue stone piers, and the wall is decorated with knocker-holders of the Han Dynasty. With modern techniques, the overall outline of the lobby is transformed based on the form of ancient “Gabled Roof and column-and-tie construction”.We have also done a detailed study on the column-and-tie construction, from the scale to the rivets. The lacquer painting artwork in the hotel lobby, themed on “to pursue Taoism at Qingcheng Mountain and enjoy water at Dujiang Dam”, presents the scene where Dujiang Dam was built and people lived a peaceful life after Dujiang Dam was completed; on other side, the map of Dujiang Dam and Qingcheng Mountain as the theme is adopted to echo the wall on the opposite side.

The guestrooms are designed to be townhouse, and the design style is modern. The guestrooms takes the main frame of the cottage as the body, with Sichuan brocade and plum button as the elements, the four treasures of the study as the support; and spreading design is adopted for the space of the guest room area.
