Built on the interplay between light and shadow

The ancient Chinese form of Western puppetry is shadow plays, which evoke a beautiful and enigmatic world. And a hotel that finds inspiration in this age-old art is bound to attract those with a nostalgic vein, and an eye for nuanced beauty. During the day, light filters through latticed wooden windows and doors to cast intricate and ever-changing patterns on the interiors. At night, authentic shadow play performances are held to usher visitors into a quaint world just a thin screen away.
