JW Marriott Hotel Qufu
Qufu, China · JW Marriott · High Luxury
JW Marriott Qufu opened in 2019 directly opposite the UNESCO Confucius Temple, in the philosopher's birthplace. LTW Designworks Singapore shaped a lobby that copies the temple's scholar hall: a courtyard, slate-tiled stone, and a seven-metre ginkgo tree sheltering a statue of Confucius, so arrival feels like stepping into the site next door. The lobby replicates the scholar hall next door with slate tiles, bronze lattice and a Moon Gate, and sixteen Chinese chimes at the porch nod to the Six Arts that Confucius taught.
- 350 rooms
- Opened 2019
- Neighborhood: Confucius Temple
- Architect: LTW Designworks Singapore
About JW Marriott Hotel Qufu
- The lobby is a conscious replica of the scholar hall next door: slate tiles, grey stone, bronze lattice, a Moon Gate, and a stone relief of Confucian history.
- Qufu has been a Confucian pilgrimage city since the Han dynasty; the Kong Family Mansion housed Confucius's descendants in an unbroken line for more than 2,400 years.
- Sixteen Chinese chimes at the front porch nod to the Six Arts Confucius taught: ritual, music, archery, chariot-riding, calligraphy, and arithmetic.
