The once capital city during Republic era, owns the culture which is deep rooted in every aspect of people’s life, and can be found everywhere. Nanjing Golden Eagle Boutique Hotel, dedicatedly delivered by YANG Design Group, is located right within the celebrated city.
You can find your story about that era, about art, emotions and yourself. The space design features rich Republic era, presenting you the old memories of the beautiful yet heart-breaking city. The age-and-history evoking metal panels, representing the persistent patriotism and open attitude toward new things, combines together to form the art wall in the lobby. The robust wood furniture, calm and powerful, fills the space with memories of time.
Besides beautiful and sentimental women, art is also an irreplaceable part in Nanjing during the Republic era.
