Qufu JW, arguably the most cultured Marriott hotel there is!

Qufu JW Marriott is located at Banbi Street in the center of the ancient Ming city, just a wall away from the Confucian Temple with more than 2500 years of history. The hotel draws architectural inspiration from the Kong Family Mansion and Confucian Temple, with its gray tiles, carved wooden doors, and a traditional Chinese courtyard layout. The restrained two-story structure makes the hotel seem like a modern extension of an ancient temple or mansion, providing guests with a cultural perspective of seclusion amidst the bustling city. The architectural design was crafted by Academician Cui Kai, whose Lhasa and Suzhou railway stations are classic examples of the perfect integration of public buildings with local culture. JW's architectural design also continues this concept. The interior design was led by Mr. Lin Fengnian, who has designed over 100 luxury hotels and is highly regarded by brands such as Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Shangri-La. The 'Apricot Altar Lectures' in the lobby of Qufu JW Marriott, with sunlight streaming through the glass dome and reflecting off the silver-white apricot branches, create a visual illusion of moonlight with sunlight. The robust tree trunks interwoven with scriptures shine under the light as if Confucius's thoughts are being promoted and intertwined through the long river of history. The hotel's design concept is 'The benevolent enjoy mountains, the wise enjoy waters,' with the elements of the Six Arts throughout. The 'Heavenly Circle and Earthly Square' welcoming water feature, the 'Ink Painting Reflecting the Moon' courtyard sculpture, and the flora from the Book of Songs embellish the corners of guest rooms, restaurants, and meeting rooms, subtly spreading the ancient city's cultural veins everywhere.
