Aranya Chongli HIDDEN PLACE is situated in the core ski area of Chongli, right next to Shixuechuan Ski Resort, with ski slopes accessible on foot within a hundred meters. The hotel is designed by renowned architect Zheng Dongyan, taking the "extraordinary" holiday experience as its core theme and integrating the delicate expression of Oriental aesthetics into spatial creation. The design incorporates the imagery of "streets and alleys" and "tea pavilions", allowing guests to switch instantly from the chilly ski resort to a warm, spring-like indoor space upon entering the hotel. The log-style design language runs throughout, simple and warm, forming a gentle dialogue with the snow-capped mountain scenery outside the window. Here, ZENCO CASA transforms this quiet Oriental aesthetics into tangible warmth and texture deep within the space.

The moment you step into the lobby from the icy snowscape, a delicate warm transition begins. The thoughtful circulation design takes into account the ease of carrying ski equipment, allowing you to shake off the snow and chill from your body. The tall, open space features a warm wooden lattice ceiling, light-wood front desk counter and dark brown wood flooring as its base. The modular dark grey leather sofas in the waiting area are tailored for seating in ski suits, dotted with star-shaped wooden bookshelves and playful installations. The warm glow of the flickering fireplace spreads across the space, instantly easing the sharp cold from outdoors. The clear and smooth layout accomplishes the psychological shift from exhilarating snow sports to peaceful dwelling with silent thoughtfulness.

Guest rooms are the most intimate chapter of Aranya Chongli HIDDEN PLACE. Here, ZENCO CASA lends tangible shape to the tranquility of the space.
