Resonating with century-old villas, water lilies, and sunsets

Painter Wang Er Yi calls this place a "breathing museum." It’s not just about beauty, but the depth of a hundred years of time. 🕰️ Step into the architectural history of 1902 That century-old willow window filters the winter sunlight into a hazy coolness. The fireplace stands quietly, with a rare English antique lotus lamp hook hanging from the ceiling—it once held a kerosene lamp, now it holds a room of silence. Here, you touch the authentic texture of history. 🌿 The garden is an Oriental dream painted by Monet The shadows are woven by mandala flowers and podocarpus, the fragrance brewed from Michelia and osmanthus. A pond of water lilies dyed purple, green, and blue, like a painting with wet paint. At dusk, sitting by the stone bridge watching the sunset melt into gold, light spreading over the mandala flowers and Monet statue—in that moment, you become a poem within the scenery. 🎹 Every room is a three-dimensional painting, named after painters, blending the lightness of Instagram style with European structure. Open the door to see a courtyard or balcony, and the biggest surprise is: the hotel offers a piano free to use. The piano sound flows over old floral tiles, climbs iron windows, and collides warmly with the moonlight from a hundred years ago. ☕️ Time here takes shape—it can be a delicately latte art coffee in the café, the rustling sound of flipping pages under tree shadows in the afternoon, or the echo of “I do” in a wedding. This is a filming location, a story stage, and a “moment” that suddenly slows you down. --- 【Hotel Features】 ▪️ Century-old building with well-preserved details like antique lamp hooks and willow windows ▪️ Garden blending Impressionist ambiance with tropical plants, stunning sunsets ▪️ Simple and textured room design, some with private courtyards ▪️ Free piano, enhancing an immersive artistic experience ▪️ Café on site, close to key attractions, convenient location --- 【Perfect for You If】 ✔️ Obsessed with old buildings and cultural stories ✔️ Willing to travel just for a garden sunset ✔️ Enjoy resonating with art unexpectedly ✔️ Longing for a journey “with sound, scent, and time” ---
