MQ Studio designs The PuXuan hotel inside Guardian Art Center in Beijing
A hotel has opened in the upper levels of the Ole Scheeren-designed art centre in Beijing, featuring rooms designed by MQ Studio to be warm and inviting.
The PuXuan hotel and spa is located in the upper levels of the Guardian Art Center, which opened last year on the northeastern edge of Beijing's Forbidden City.
While the lower section of the building comprises perforated, slate-grey blocks at the scale of nearby hutong houses, the upper part is formed of translucent glass bricks. This rectilinear volume contains The PuXuan's 116 guest rooms and spa facilities.
Charged with designing the interiors throughout the hotel, Shanghai-based MQ Studio opted for a rich colour and material palette.
Bedroom surfaces are lined in panels of light-hued timber, complemented by rattan screens that can be drawn across to provide additional privacy to living spaces. Headboards and rugs are in shades of mauve or chocolate brown.
Similar-tone soft furnishings are scatted throughout The PuXuan Club, a guest suite in the hotel for large groups that is meant to feel more like a private townhouse.
As well as a kitchen, library, outdoor terrace, and meeting room, the suite also has a double height lounge area complete with its own fireplace.
Jet-black carbon fibre walls help foster a dark, enveloping atmosphere in the spa that's on the building's top floor, accessed via an illuminated glass staircase.
