Puli Hotel | Hidden in the city

🎍"Another elegant gathering sits together, with a high mark of bamboo forest." The ancients esteemed bamboo, elegant and rhythmic, and so do modern people. In the bustling streets of Jing'an Temple in Shanghai, you can hardly see the figure of Puli Hotel, which is hidden behind the bamboo forest. The hotel does not have a spectacular and magnificent gate, everything is designed according to the implication of the hotel's name: as unique as jade. When UCR Group first opened this hotel, it decided its unique positioning - "Urban Paradise". From the moment you enter the hotel through the narrow corridor, the designer is trying to create a city within a city. The Shanghai grey bricks usually used on the exterior walls of buildings are creatively used inside the hotel, and the "gold bricks" used for the restoration of the Forbidden City are underfoot. 🪸The design that makes good use of traditional building materials is not only in public areas, but also in the hotel rooms. The dragon scale pattern woodcarving screens and cast bronze washbasins that can be seen everywhere in each room once again verify the designer's deliberate interweaving of ancient and modern, Chinese and Western. The sofa evolved from the large Arhat bed, the wooden carved lion decorated on the low table, there are not too many decorations in the three suites of the hotel, but people's senses are magnified to experience the details and texture that are within reach. 🍴The French restaurant Phénix has been awarded a Michelin star for seven consecutive years and is also a Black Pearl one-diamond restaurant. Recently, it has joined hands with Christofle, a French royal brand that spans the entire century, to present a feast of French art aesthetics. Chef Ugo and Christofle together give life and culinary art a new charm, presenting the essence of French cuisine in the bustling modern city center, returning to the origin of ingredients, and showing the taste of life.
