NUO Hotel Beijing boasts 438 guest rooms and suites, seven world class restaurants and bars and a peerless collection of spa, fitness and event facilities, including a magnificent 1,600 square metre ballroom. One of the first hotels in Beijing to be awarded LEED gold level certification in environmental building design, NUO Hotel Beijing is thoroughly committed to low carbon green intelligence, with electric car charging stations, the latest German designed energy-saving building technologies, and a high performance air purification system.
Upon entering NUO Hotel Beijing, guests are greeted by one of NUO’s honourary art consultant Zeng Fanzhi’s most monumental art pieces for the hotel, the 5.03-metre tall sculpture entitled “Le Shan”. It is Mr. Zeng’s homage to a line from one of the essays of renowned Ming Dynasty-era intellectual and historian Zhang Dai who, in recalling blissful memories spent with his beloved grandfather in Shaoxing, China, said “The door opens on a view of mountains; the window opens on a view of water”.
In an homage to Ming Dynasty-era literary figure Wen Zhenheng’s book “Treatise on Superfluous Things”, where he advocates that form should follow function, the guestrooms’ layout and design are reminiscent of an ancient Chinese intellectual’s residence, a harmonious blend of balance and symmetry, whilst maintaining simplicity of comfort.
Even in the bathrooms, inspiration can be found, such as whimsical lines of poetry from Ming Dynasty-era scholar Wen Zhengming, one of China’s “Four Masters of Ming”, etched in exquisite calligraphy on a corner wall. Peaceful luxury, thoughtful extras. NUO Hotel Beijing’s guestrooms exude the elegant simplicity of a Ming Dynasty scholar’s personal chambers inspired by the Wen Family.
Jia, NUO Hotel Beijing’s signature Chinese restaurant, conveys the warm embrace of a peaceful, welcoming home and recalls the familiarity, comfort and deep satisfaction derived from the best-loved home-cooked meals.
Inspired by the works of famous Ming Dynasty-era artist, calligrapher and epicure Xu Wei, who was best known for his Xie Yi or free-style flower-and-bird ink wash paintings, the restaurant’s ambience evokes the natural setting of an exquisite, elegant home with an emphasis on sourcing fresh, premium, organic ingredients from NUO’s own Organic Farm for healthy dining.
