Riding the Winds, Define the ˹Travel-Living˼ Lifestyle

At the launch event, Ms. Emily Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Ying'nFlo Hotel, deeply explained the brand origin and concept: "The Ying'nFlo brand's philosophy is derived from profound understanding of the attitudes of the new generation of ˹Travel-Living˼ enthusiasts. They are rich in spirit, calm and composed, and also embrace changes and self-fulfilling exploration. Based on this, we have proposed the core concept of 'Exploring a New ˹Travel-Living˼ Lifestyle' and refined four major brand pillars: 'Adapt'n Flex', 'Easy Flo', 'Sustainable Lifestyle' and 'Likeminded People'." Ying'nFlo goes beyond traditional hotel functions, aiming to create a space that combines comfort, flexibility, and fun for the new generation of ˹Travel-Living˼ enthusiasts who pursue a high-quality life. We hope every guest can find their own personal space here with delightful energy.

Embrace the Wind, Build Diverse ˹Travel-Living˼ Scenarios

As the new generation has become the main force in hotel consumption, how to seize opportunities and lead a diverse, personalized, high-quality lifestyle has been an indispensable topic for hotel groups and brands. At the launch event, Ms. Qiao Lei, the Brand Director of China Ying'nFlo Hotel Brand, unveiled the brand's key visual. Through in-depth interpretations of spatial design, cultural co-creation, and city exploration, she comprehensively articulated the brand's core concept of "Beyond A Stay", aiming to craft distinctive services and experiences for new-generation consumers.

In terms of hotel spatial design, Ying'nFlo is dedicated to creating "YING STYLE: Free Space." The public areas feature large expanses of minimalist natural wood tones, with the flexible and practical guest rooms and personalized functional areas to achieve "Visual Breath". The brand's signature fragrance, specially blended with pure natural plant essential oils, features a deep and lingering scent of guaiac wood, weaving a "Olfactory Echo". Innovative custom bedding scientifically constructs a "Tactility Connection", being thicker, more breathable, softer, and lighter, to make every touch a healing ritual during the journey. Meanwhile, the hotel's canteen practices well-being aesthetics with "Palate Reawaken", selecting diverse local seasonal fresh ingredients to interpret the iridescent cuisine philosophy. Ying'nFlo goes beyond the basic needs of guests. Instead, it is meticulously designed from multiple sensory dimensions to create a new ˹Travel-Living˼ lifestyle.

In terms of function, Ying'nFlo is committed to breaking through traditional models and proactively developing new social interaction scenarios. At the launch event, the brand's pioneering project, "Ying'nFlo Flo Lab," presented an innovative, sustainable, and ever-evolving cultural co-creation space. In the future, Ying'nFlo will establish a podcast studio in every hotel, which as an extension of the connection between the brand and community, to provide more possibilities for self-expression and emotional resonance among the new generation.

Wave Along the Wind, Empower a Better Future of ˹Travel-Living˼

This year, Ying'nFlo plans to open five hotels in the mainland market, with the first one located in Hangzhou. The city's profound historical heritage and innovative vitality offer unique development opportunities for the brand. With innovative concepts such as the "Ying'nFlo Flo Lab," the brand will actively respond to the local development policies, deep dive into the local cultural resources, and release new consumer vitality, to create a new multifunctional ˹Travel-Living˼ city landmark.

In addition to this launch event, Ying'nFlo also introduced the creative installation "Stories in the Bugs" and a limited-time exhibition, which are collaborated with the young artist Jeffrey in the Hong Kong Plaza (Shanghai). The brand aims to deepen its concept with the concept of ˹Travel-Living˼ lifestyle.

"As we move forward, we will continue to uphold the concept of 'being grounded and pursuing excellence,' closely follow the China's 'dual circulation' policy, and actively integrate into the new landscape of China's cultural tourism industry," said Mr. LO Chun Him, Executive Director of Great Eagle Group, during the event, "We believe that Ying'nFlo will surely shine in the Chinese mainland market and actively contribute to 'telling well China's stories' through concrete actions."
