About Xichang Joyhub Air Hotela

Xichang Joyhub Air Hotela Qionghai itsasoaren ipar ertzean kokatuta dago, bizitza esperientzia poetiko bat sinbolizatzeko diseinatuta. Xichangen lorategiaren estiloko luxuzko atsedenaldiko hotel esperientzia bat sortzen du, giza kulturaren eta ekologia naturalaren fusioarekin. Pintura artistikoa, egurrezko inprimaketa duten aluminio panelak, harria eta egurrezko akaberak bezalako material gakoak giro baketsua sortzen dute, hotelari izaera berezia emanez. Adreilu grisak, teilatu malkardunak eta lur konprimatuzko hormak barnealdean berrimaginatuta daude, non tonu argiko akaberak, egurrezko panel neutralak eta kolore sakoneko marmolak espazio harmonioso bat sortzen duten.
