MUJI HOTEL'S FEATURES:

The hotels have been designed to reflect, well, in my own words, I guess minimalist but sleek. MUJI aims to offer great sleep at the right price, provide a space supporting both body and mind while away from home, and connect travellers to local people and places. Traveling has become a natural part of present-day living, a once-unusual activity now seen as normal. Travel preferences are shifting away from packaged consumer products to a build-your-own experience. MUJI HOTEL provides an answer to this shift in demand. Cooperating with MUJI stores, MUJI HOTEL seeks to provide a physical experience of the MUJI philosophy through the sensation of towels, the placement of outlets and light switches, restaurants and menus, space, and more. What is NOT to LOVE about this?

MUJI HOTEL SHENZHEN:
