As guests enter the imperial-style lobby, the Chinese architectural principles of balance and symmetry are evident.

Optimizing the natural light and surrounding greenery, floor-to-ceiling glass windows offer guests all-encompassing views of Qufu's landscape, where traditional Confucian motifs and recurring Chinese symbols pay tribute to the location.
