These hotels used to be famous, but now they are no longer available.
I read Judith's "Record of Lost Objects" some time ago. What's more interesting is that the book contains 12 things that have disappeared from the earth, from Tuanaki and Caspian tigers to Villa Sacchetti, Sappho's Love Poems...
It is said that the most uncomfortable thing is not getting and losing. When some of them opened, we shouted that we would have time to do it. The hotels that have to be checked in, delisted, and permanently closed are announced.
It’s as if someone pressed the time forward button, causing them to “swoosh” out of our sight.
After expressing this emotion in the hotel circle editor group, everyone expressed that they wanted to write a review.
So, Shall we go?
Beijing
W Hotel on Chang'an Street
On January 31, 2019, W Hotel on Chang'an Street in Beijing sent away its last batch of guests and marked the end of the The end of W brand in Beijing.
Chang’an Avenue W was formerly the Gloria Hotel. From the opening to the closure of the hotel, the financial loss had exceeded 100 million. After the reconstruction, COFCO Group had high hopes for W. Before officially welcoming guests, it started one round after another. It was warmed up in a high-profile manner, but was later ridiculed as "the worst W hotel in China".
To be honest, the W Hotel on Chang'an Street has been in a dilemma since its opening. The most important thing is that it is deeply constrained by its geographical location -
The Second Ring Road, with Tiananmen Square to the west , with the embassy district in the east and Beijing Railway Station in the south, it should be a prime location with good geographical location. However, the important point is that the official positioning of the W brand is "Lifestyle". The "W" in the minds of guests is often synonymous with young, trendy, cool and alternative, and the same is true for the W Hotel on Chang'an Avenue.
Whether it is the flowing dynamic lighting, the boldly colored installation space, or the concept of the top-floor lounge "Dazzling the City that Never Sleeps", they all show that they are incompatible with the surrounding (administrative area - where government agencies are concentrated) The unique style of painting. Therefore, many people joked that W should be placed in Sanlitun.
The inconsistent opinions between the owner and the brand on many aspects of design and operation, as well as frequent complaints about service quality and hardware facilities, also paved the way for the hotel's difficult road ahead.
Until the loss, it ended an era of W in Beijing.
Shanghai
Four Seasons Hotel Pudong
After news of the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai Puxi closing for renovation this year, Shanghai Pudong Four Seasons Hotel also released information saying that on May 15, the cooperation between the owner and the brand will be ended and the hotel will be permanently delisted, which means that people in Shanghai will have a period of vacancy for Four Seasons.
Pudong Four Seasons, located in Lujiazui, opened for business in 2012, eight years ago. There is an 18-meter indoor infinity swimming pool called "the most beautiful skyline swimming pool in the city". Yes, it is the one with Bond in the movie "Skyfall".
The hotel with 187 guest rooms is also a favorite shooting location for many fashion media. It has hosted countless celebrities and hosted press conferences.
An internal open letter stated that this license change was not affected by the new crown epidemic, but was a friendly move between Four Seasons and the owner Shanghai 21st Century Hotel Co., Ltd. to reach an agreement after the contract expired.
The jewel-box-like Pudong Four Seasons is generally very good in terms of interior visuals and supporting services. Friends who have been there basically think it is worth returning.
For students who haven’t had time to check in, you can add Shanghai Pudong Regent to your wish list after the hotel is renovated. As IHG’s global debut after acquiring Regent, it should be worth looking forward to.
Chongqing
The Langham Hotel, World Financial Center
Since 1865, The Langham Hotel in London has continued to this day. The Langham’s luxury brand style has There is no doubt about its performance. Before every opening, a group of loyal guests eagerly start booking on the official website.
The Langham Chongqing, which was originally intended to become the landmark landscape of the Liberation Monument, starts from the 58F floor of the World Financial Center. It is not difficult to see from the official pictures that the decoration design is also in accordance with the Langham's consistent style. .
Surprisingly, the owner Huaxun quickly broke up with the brand before the opening and replaced it with the local brand Lisiri.
Even the restaurant "Tang Court" that originally had Michelin genes has been renamed "Peng Court", and later joined the Hyatt Reserve. This operation shocked the onlookers, and it can be said that it has a fate.
Although the specific reason for the card change is unknown, fortunately, although you cannot check in to the Langham Chongqing, the Hyatt Collection is worth a visit. After all, whether it is the floor-to-ceiling window view of the hotel room or the Wings bar on the 70th floor, it is It has an unparalleled perspective of enjoying the scenery of the mountain city.
New York
Times Square EDITION
A large number of hotels have been closed due to the epidemic this year, especially abroad. The New York Times Square EDITION also announced its permanent closure last month.
The concept of "garden in the city" is vividly demonstrated in EDITION. Under the whirling tropical green plants, it feels like a utopia. Moreover, whether it is the public space or the interior of the guest room, EDITION uses color It is exquisite, with style colors such as ivory, dark green, crimson and sapphire blue everywhere.
Different from other hotels of some years, the EDITION, which opened in February 2019, has a strategic location and only has only one and a half years to welcome guests. It can be said to be a gorgeous but short-lived mark of the times. .
According to relevant reports, Addison had already experienced a financial crisis long before the epidemic broke out on a large scale. The emergence of the epidemic has caused a sharp reduction in the number of business travelers in the hotel, and the occupancy rate has been low, exacerbating the impasse of cash shortage.
Japan
Fujimiso
Speaking of Japan’s time-honored inns, Fujimiso located in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture is one of them. Excellent, it is located near the sea and has hot springs.
Since the opening of this 40-room hotel in 1956, room conditions of 100 OCC have been common due to the frequent reception of group guests (especially from China).
After the epidemic began, it had a great impact on Fujimiso, and most guests chose to cancel their reservations.
In February this year, the unsustainable hotel applied for bankruptcy to the Nagoya District Court. This was also the first hotel in Japan to close due to the epidemic. There was no tourist boom, and the hotel was quite old due to its age, so it had to be closed.
London
Ace Hotel Shoreditch
The impact of the epidemic on the service industry still prevailed, September 11 The news that the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch, London, has announced its permanent closure is the biggest disappointment for everyone in recent times.
ACE HOTEL is an outstanding trendy and cool brand among niche design hotels. It is non-replicable and de-standardized, which makes it be included in the "worth looking forward to" or "best" by various media in every annual hotel selection. Design" directory, it is also a favorite place for the new generation of people. At ACE, it is never just as simple as staying for one night.
The London hotel opened in 2013 and was ACE’s first show after leaving the United States. The founder Alex Calderwoo also passed away in this hotel in 2013.
London ACE inherits the local historical customs and humanistic charm, but also brings a little rebellious personality of its own - "embracing taste, not catering to the powerful".
The simple and clean wooden bed frame and the sometimes exposed film lighting reveal a strong retro industrial style in the details. The plain appearance is different from other luxury hotels. Since its opening, it has attracted many artists and A visit from a design guru.
I sincerely hope that this is just a temporary farewell and that we will have the opportunity to see ACE again in London in the future!
