A Song of Peace

Ever stepped into a MUJI store and wonder: “How wonderful would it be if my house was like this?” Well, now you get to (kind of) experience this image in real life at ( UpperHills, 5001 Huanggang Road, Futian District, Shenzhen; +86 755 83212281; hotel.muji.com/Shenzhen) which has just recently opened its doors. With only 79 bedrooms, a MUJI diner, gym, 24-hour library and a twostory MUJI store, the hotel follows the brand’s “anti-gorgeous” and “anticheap” philosophies. Consequently, the hotel is decorated with clarity and sobriety, using earthy tones and natural materials like wood and stone to create a sense of comfort and tranquility. This opening marks the first hotel of the MUJI brand, which will be followed by new properties in Beijing by March and Tokyo in 2019.
