Location
The hotel is located in the heart of the century-old Zhongshan Road Historic Preservation Zone, an urban area with historical blocks and cultural experiences. It sits on Qingdao’s golden coastal line, adjacent to Zhanqiao Pier and close to Qingdao Railway Station. This is a prime spot for sunset, skyline, and ocean views. Qingdao, which means “Green Island” is a modern city with elements of its past well preserved. Thanks to its German colonial history, it is perhaps the most European-looking city in China. Here, winding cobbled streets, German architecture, and hillside villas complement the city’s diverse food scene, headlined by its world-renowned Tsingtao beer.

Architecture Justin JIA
The renovated century-old German historic building has an exclusive viewing terrace facing Zhanqiao Pier and the sea, presenting unobstructed views of red-tiled roofs, trees, and the ocean. Indeed, its glass encased rooftop offers dreamy panoramas and houses a destination restaurant and bar. The architects faithfully restored original facades, beams, and character while optimizing circulation, daylight, and modern functionality, balancing heritage with contemporary expectations. German brick craftsmanship, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, hand-plastering, and handmade customization by local artisans are on full display.
Interior design Justin JIA
Minimalist, quiet, uncluttered, and accented with German retro details, the hotel’s design uses muted tones and natural materials to create a relaxed, tranquil, and refined retreat. Public spaces feature city-themed exhibitions, while guestrooms incorporate local smoke-painting and straw-weaving art installations, stressing regional context. Local Qingdao Laoshan stone, aged elm, old boat wood, art terracotta brick, bronze stainless steel, and bamboo charcoal wood are just some of the ecofriendly materials on display.
