Pregnancy #47 - Movenpick Hotel Room

Movenpick Hotel Room
Basically, we are quite satisfied with the room facilities, although if it came with complimentary free Wi-Fi would be even better but no, internet access is chargeable...sadness.

The room was relatively new...why i say this was because the interior and bathroom looks pretty new, however there was tear on our bedsheets and the desk chair was stained. For the bathroom area, the vanity countertop also had stains on it, the free standing bath-tub had water leaking out when we filled it with water. So it's not completely perfect.

The plus items were the bathroom was fitted with a LED extendable mirror for ladies which was very useful when putting on our make-up, the drawer had a hair blower, the dim sum stack has loads of toiletries...however i don't understand why they only provide 1 number of shower gel, shampoo and moisturiser! It's not enough for two especially the bottle is so small!!!

King size bed with plush pillows!

Yes! we are happy with the complimentary Nespresso and TWG

Beijing Day 1 - Our Hotel: Kapok Hotel

Hotel Kapok 木棉花酒店
Address
16号 Donghuamen Street Dongcheng, Beijing, China, 100006
Designed by by Studio Pei Zhu

Hotel Kapok, formerly a government office, is a boutique hotel located east of the Palace Museum. During the design process, the architects strove to achieve an integration of traditional design and modern construction details. In order to accommodate the room arrangements and bring in natural light, two indoor courtyards with sunroofs were created. Additionally, the majority of the exterior surface was constructed using a new form of fiberglass created specifically for the project: fiberglass beams, with the texture and color of bamboo, cross one another to form a mesh wall. At the same time the latticework acts as an optical light filter and creates a “visual mirage,” earning the nickname of the Blur Hotel. From a distance, the building looks like a glowing Chinese paper lantern, an expression of the complexity and occasional mystery of Chinese tradition.
