全球首屈一指的酒店室内设计公司—赫希贝德纳联合设计公司(HBA)从上海七宝古镇历史悠久的艺术传统及创造文化中萃取灵感，不仅为上海闵行宝龙艾美酒店打造出典雅无比的全新室内设计，更为酒店前卫的设计风格赋予全新的想象，将之推向更高的水准。上海闵行宝龙艾美酒店设有240间雅致的客房及宽敞的套房，充满现代感的艺术作品与经典的家具陈设完美交融，营造出一派温馨宜人的氛围。酒店各处的粉饰、细节处理和灯光照明无不彰显上海闵行区七宝古镇的历史特色，藉此致敬中国在影像捕捉艺术领域的重大发现，如照相机暗箱、皮影戏等。

HBA 合伙人Robbyn Carter女士表示：“这个项目为我们的设计团队带来了挑战，我们需要在设计过程中窥透历史，从七宝古镇在创造领域取得的卓著成就中汲取灵感。我们的团队注重打造令人耳目一新、超乎意料的体验，我们勇于打破常规，摆脱常规思维的束缚，进而为客户呈现更具体验性的设计。七宝古镇悠久的艺术历史造就了影像捕捉艺术领域的重大发现，艺术也是一种承载历史的方式，因此我们以艺术的形式诉说历史。”

Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), the world’s leading hospitality interior design firm, drew inspiration from Shanghai Qibao’s rich cultural background in arts and invention to create the elegant new Le Méridien Shanghai, Minhang, which reimagines and raises the bar for the hotel’s design-forward style. Le Méridien Shanghai, Minhang features 240 chic guest rooms and spacious suites displaying contemporary artwork that blends with timeless furnishings to create a warm ambience. Designed to pay homage to the notable discoveries China made in the art of image capture, such as camera obscura and shadow play, all the finishes, details, and lighting schemes in the hotel reflect the unique history that lingers within the ancient town of Qibao in Minhang District of Shanghai.

“This project challenged our design team to see through the lens of history, drawing inspiration from the pivotal strides in invention made from within the ancient town’s walls,” said HBA Associate Robbyn Carter. “Our team focuses more on experiential design by creating a new and unexpected experience, questioning the norm and disrupting our usual linear thought process. Qibao’s rich history of arts has made impactful discoveries in the art of image capture. We communicate history through art because art is a form of documentation.”

抵达体验
Entry Experience

上海闵行宝龙艾美酒店呈现出一派特色鲜明、设计前卫的视觉效果，以艺术的形式彰显目的地的魅力，为传统的奢华酒店体验开拓出令人眼前一亮的视角。秉承标新立异、颠覆传统的理念，上海闵行宝龙艾美酒店的大堂被赋以全新的诠释，成为一处供宾客畅谈交流、激发创意火花的社交聚会场所。精美的艺术装置安放在大堂各处，散发着时尚现代之感和强烈的艺术感染力；独具特色的座椅布置能够激发客人之间的对话和互动，进而唤醒他们的奇思妙想和灵感；灰色大理石饰面的景观墙则是大堂的一处吸睛之笔，与实木地板纹理的别致构造交相辉映，景观墙上的黄铜饰品和金属网状隔板也尤为抢眼。大堂吧设有多组不同类型的陈设，白天这里是一处悠享咖啡的休闲区域，夜幕降临后则化身为酒吧。从多面丝网天花板到实木墙壁和地板，从白色大理石吧台到黑色大理石马赛克瓷砖，无不为大堂酒吧营造出引人前往的氛围。

The hotel’s edgy and design-forward vision unlocks the destination through art, presenting a new perspective on the typical luxury hospitality experience. Le Méridien’s lobby is a gathering place for creative minds to converse, debate, and exchange, an innovative and re-interpreted hotel lobby concept. Guests are surrounded by curated contemporary, high-impact art installations. This environment awakens curiosity and stimulates thinking with dialogue and interaction encouraged through distinctive seating arrangements. The grey marble faceted feature wall defines the space, with contrasting textures – natural timber flooring, with brass metal details, and metal mesh panels. The Lobby Lounge is the transitional bar which transforms from a daytime coffee lounge area into a nighttime bar, accommodating various groups of furniture. Faceted brash mesh ceiling, timber wall and flooring, white marble counters, and black marble mosaic tiles create an interesting environment.

餐厅
Dining

时尚雅致的乐美中餐厅采用上海当地的装饰风格，极尽现代简约之感又不乏当代中国元素，以此致敬上海悠久的历史并体现其作为当代中国一线城市的繁荣地位。工业风格的装饰细节与中国传统艺术相映成辉，为餐厅增添了一抹引人瞩目的都会风采；石库门风格的都市元素与精致的装饰相得益彰；传统的中式屏风能够转换成折叠样式，与质朴的壁画墙形成鲜明的对比。

宽敞的大型包房兼具中国皇家气韵及英国殖民时期的风范。殖民地风格的室内装饰与精美的当代家具浑然一体；在线条柔和的东方图案和织品的映衬之下，包房散发出的工业美感多了一分刚柔并济的气息；天花板的设计以上海装饰派艺术为灵感，墙壁的粉饰则与石库门风格有着同工异曲之妙。小型包房内既有石库门风格的石材装饰图案，又有中国传统的涂刷元素，更有现代装饰细节点缀期间。包房内还陈列着精美的陶瓷藏品，以致敬上海城市形成的历史与流经水域之间的深厚渊源。

A ‘Chinois Chic’ restaurant where Shanghai décor is fused with modern simplicity is a mix of contemporary and Chinese elements paying tribute to Shanghai’s vast history and thriving position in modern China. Industrial details in juxtaposition with Chinese traditional arts create an atmosphere of cosmopolitan allure. Shikumen inspired elements is an urban counterpart against refined finishes, and traditional Chinese screens transformed into overlapping patterns contrast next to a rustic and painted mural wall.

The large private dining room is a patchwork of both imperial Chinese and colonial British influences. Colonial-style interior applications, combined with sophisticated contemporary furniture and an industrial warehouse aesthetic are balanced with soft oriental patterns and fabrics. The ceiling is inspired by Shanghai Art Deco and contrasts next to the Shikumen inspired wall finish. In the small private dining room, elements such as Shikumen inspired stone patterns while traditional Chinese paint brushes are arranged into modern details. Collections of ceramic are showcased to pay tribute to the rich connection between the history of the city and its waters.

健身设施
Wellness Facilities

酒店健身设施的设计延用相同的表达手法：以七宝古镇的皮影戏为灵感来源，为水疗中心和泳池注入光影元素，精美的装饰不仅在自然光线的映衬下让设计空间熠熠生辉，更在光影变幻之间产生瞬息万变的视觉效果。层次鲜明的天然材料与七宝古镇悠久的历史遥相呼应，冷色石材则与温暖的色调形成醒目的对比。

The facilities in Le Méridien Shanghai, Minhang continue the narrative – the Spa and Swimming Pool utilize light and shadow, inspired by Qibao shadow plays. The natural light is cast into beautiful patterns that define space and create an ephemeral experience. Layers of natural material reflect the rich layers of history of Qibao, with cool stones to contrast against warm accents.

客房
Guestrooms

客房和套房以带有雕刻图案的浴室为一大亮点，浴室铺有天然纹理的白色大理石。客房和套房还以暖色调的木材、黄铜和白色大理石为背景材料，设有开放式衣橱、富有艺术美感的家具、照明器具和单色地毯。七宝古镇位于上海市闵行区中心地带，距离市中心仅18公里。七宝古镇是上海市郊区域内的唯一一座古镇，记录并保护七宝古镇的艺术及悠久历史已被视为势在必行的要事。

The guestrooms and suites feature a sculptural shower with natural white graphical marble, accentuated with warm wood, brass metal and white marble as the background including an open wardrobe, artful furniture, lighting fixtures, and monochromatic rug. Qibao is located in the center of Minhang District of Shanghai, only 18 kilometers (11.18 miles) from the downtown area. As the only ancient town forming part of greater Shanghai, it is considered by some imperative that the arts and rich history of Qibao are documented and preserved.

Carter女士说道：“将设计理念付诸实施并有效地执行项目需要大量的情境调研，根据调研得出的见解，我们将想法和理念制成思维导图，并将它们应用到家具陈设、粉饰、空间规划等各种设计细节。”

“A considerable amount of contextual research was necessary in realizing the concept and executing it effectively,” said Carter. “We mind-map ideas and concepts based on these insights and apply them to various design details throughout the hotel from furniture to finishes and space planning.”
