After lunch at Downstairs, I got a quick tour of the penthouse suite at the Urbn Hotel, a sustainable project developed from a renovated factory warehouse. The hotel’s interiors are made with 100% local sourced and recycled materials, and energy-efficient technologies and heating and cooling systems are installed throughout the establishment. Here are some snapshots, starting with the reception area:
The back wall is constructed from 25 suitcases, all collected from the Dongtai Lu antiques market. What’s the story behind each suitcase? Makes you wonder.
And the penthouse suite:
The suite is 80 sqm and includes a fairly large living room, which can be a nice space for casual meetings as well.
View from the suite.
