If you want an endlessly renewable homestay in Shanghai, this place is so healing

This hotel is built into a deep pit cliff, with an overall downward structure, like a mysterious palace embedded below the horizon. The designer cleverly uses the original terrain to create a "reverse growth" vertical city.

As soon as you enter the hotel, the rock-textured walls paired with vintage industrial-style lighting perfectly combine ruggedness and luxury. It instantly feels like traveling through time into a fascinating world of vintage industrial style. The high-ceilinged lobby is dominated by dark tones, with rock-textured walls complementing metallic decorations. A giant crystal chandelier hangs like stalactites in a mine cave, casting light that makes you feel like you are in an underground palace.

The rooms are vertically distributed along the cliff wall; the higher the floor, the deeper underground it is. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the cliff is steep, and inside the rooms, the industrial style is full-on, with exposed concrete walls, vintage metal lamps, leather sofas paired with wooden furniture—rugged yet refined.

When night falls, lights illuminate the water surface at the bottom of the pit. Outside the glass curtain wall, water curtain animations are projected from time to time, with whales and jellyfish slowly swimming at the bottom of the pit. The changing light and shadow make it feel like entering a magical secret realm.
