The dreamy rose pink that looks and feels comfortable is the highlight of the hotel and there is an amazing hidden meaning of it. After the end of World War I, to welcome peace to the world, a classic brown brick hotel was changed into a bright pink, representing friendship and unity. It also perfectly calculated the shade of fading, in which the lighting causes the pink color to change throughout the day.
