Located in Linyi City, Shandong Province, NESTHOUSE Hotel stands as a fresh reinterpretation of modern hospitality. Rooted in the city’s historical richness and natural beauty, the design of the hotel blends the vitality of urban life with the serenity of nature. Drawing inspiration from the metaphor of birds nesting, NESTHOUSE offers guests a sense of belonging and tranquility—a place to return to, a place to rest. The hotel breaks away from traditional business hotel models, introducing a human-centered, artistic space that transforms the urban experience.

The building’s three facades interact with the city from multiple perspectives—like migrating birds converging from different directions. These facades symbolize social interaction, reflecting the dynamic movement of both vehicles and pedestrians through the area. Localized design adjustments, including texture upgrades and thoughtful window alterations, ensure the hotel harmonizes with the surrounding environment while maintaining an elegant and artistic aesthetic.

Spanning 7,000 square meters over six floors, NESTHOUSE features a welcoming lobby that connects seamlessly to the Day day Lab—a coffee and bookstore space that combines the hotel’s aesthetic with its own distinct identity. This creative hub fosters a peaceful atmosphere with a central study area elevated by bookshelves, creating a sanctuary for both book lovers and creatives alike.

The hotel’s design emphasizes open, airy spaces, with every detail contributing to a sense of freedom and peace. The sixth-floor spire restaurant is bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views. The space is designed to encourage relaxation, with a harmonious blend of soft colors and materials, and a natural flow that maximizes the connection to the outdoors.

Guest rooms continue this theme of spaciousness and comfort. Each floor features loft-style rooms with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and minimalist wooden tatami areas. The luxurious oversized bathtub, wall-mounted toilets, and carefully curated design elements add to the overall feeling of relaxation and serenity.

At NESTHOUSE, design is poetry, and space tells a story—an artistic journey where beauty and function converge to create an unforgettable experience. This is not just a place to stay; it’s a place to connect with the soul of the city and oneself.
