Reviving History: The Dananmen Hotel by Yi Jin

Blending Cultural Heritage and Modern Elegance in Hospitality Design

The Dananmen Hotel, located in the heart of Longyou County, is more than just a building. It is an embodiment of the region's rich history and culture, a testament to the revival of the ancient city, and a symbol of the prosperity of the business group. The hotel is a core node of the provincial and municipal poetry and painting scenic belt and the "two rivers corridor" of Longyou County. It carries the warm and beautiful nostalgic memory in the hearts of generations of local people.

Yi Jin, the mastermind behind this design, drew inspiration from the Confucian's return to the kernel as the theme line. The design is unique in its representation of Longyou's profound accumulation of "ten thousand years of civilization, a thousand years of ancient city and a hundred years of business group". The interior of the hotel has undertaken this sense of location, combined with the local characteristic culture and river scenery, and built it into a business travel hotel characterized by regional culture.

The design process involved meticulous planning and execution. The main materials used in the project are marble, antique brick, wood finish, and stainless steel. The overall design continues the architectural style of the Republic of China, with the internal landscape surrounding the core functional area. The project covers a total of 15325.6 square meters, a vast space that has been utilized effectively to create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication.

One of the key challenges in the design process was to create a high-end comprehensive guild hall with cultural characteristics focusing on meetings and reception from details. This was achieved through the use of simple and lively lines, twists and straights combined with appropriate opening and closing of space. The construction of the project widely solicited the opinions and suggestions of experts, scholars and all sectors of society, ensuring the high-quality and efficient promotion of the project construction.

The Dananmen Hotel is not just a design marvel but also a winner of the prestigious Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2022. This award is rewarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.

In conclusion, the Dananmen Hotel by Yi Jin is a perfect blend of cultural heritage and modern elegance, a beacon of regional culture and innovation in hospitality design. It is a testament to the power of design in reviving history and creating spaces that resonate with the local culture and memory.
