Embark on this Noah's Ark and perceive the avant-garde and personality of Xiamen's NOA

NOA, the name itself evokes the image of that extremely famous vessel, Noah's Ark. The concept and design philosophy of the hotel also originate from this. It is reported that the project was formerly an old warehouse, which after transformation, has become one of the most representative boutique design hotels on the island of Egrets. The hotel has a total of 77 ingeniously designed rooms. Although the average area of a single room is not large, the use of every space is almost maximized. If this project were to be judged by the standards of traditional hotel design, then Noah would certainly be unconventional and even highly disruptive. The names of the various room types are simple yet distinctive, such as Studio, Yard, Attic, Block, Station, which not only perfectly match the spatial layout but also highlight the briskness unique to the industrial style. Inside the rooms, the facilities are above standard, and the exclusive toiletries customized in collaboration with 'handhandhand' are also very practical, with every detail selection showcasing avant-garde design. The design of the hotel's public areas is equally brilliant. The names of various spaces are very interesting, such as DECK, Inspiration Capsule, One Ear, all revealing personality. 'DECK' is positioned as the lobby public area and coffee space, with an ark-shaped coffee bar and an industrial-style hard decoration atmosphere, brimming with avant-garde and inspiration. Here, they offer day coffee and night drinks, as well as Min cuisine, bringing together travelers and local guests from the community. 'Inspiration Capsule' is a multifunctional creative exchange space, with a semi-transparent design creating a capsule-like visual effect. 'One Ear' is worth talking about, the name originates from the villain in the cartoon 'Black Cat Detective', and now it is an art complex space with a bookstore, shop, gallery, workshop, and other formats, symbolizing diversity and exploration. During my two days and one night at NOA, I perceived the vitality of innovation and change, and also enjoyed the relaxation and pleasure of body and mind. The avant-garde and personalized design, the meticulous and warm operation, coupled with the affordable prices, seem to inspire every traveler not to give up their dreams.
