ZENCO Case | Boffo L Hotel, Xi'an

The name “Bofeilang” derives from opal, Australia’s national gemstone, known locally as “BOFFO LONG”, which symbolises eternity, radiance, perfection and fulfilment. Drawing inspiration from the gem’s ethereal charm, designers have translated its seven‑faceted sparkle into the hotel space in northern Xi’an. Stone surfaces in the lobby glow gently under lighting, evoking the smooth, polished planes of opal. Metallic finishes along the corridors shift with daylight, casting warm‑toned light layers of varying depth. The executive lounge exudes an atmosphere where timeless elegance meets romantic flair. Located in the Northern Economic‑Technological Development Zone of Weiyang District, close to Xi’an Municipal Administrative Centre and metro lines, this international Australian‑rooted hotel brand centres its philosophy on “surprise and delight”, delivering personalised stays for every guest. ZENCO CASA blends seamlessly into the venue, merging the shimmering vitality of opal with the deep‑rooted steadiness of the ancient city to create tangible, welcoming warmth throughout. Sinking into a lobby sofa, guests are wrapped in soft overhead light reminiscent of an opal’s glow. Every pause feels like turning a gem‑stone facet, revealing a fresh new perspective on the journey.

As the hustle‑bustle of Fengcheng Seventh Road fades gently behind you, the entrance of Boffo L Hotel comes into view, wrapped in warm indoor glow. The generously‑high‑ceilinged lobby unfolds before your eyes, flooded with clear natural daylight that casts a soft, lustrous sheen over the marble floor adorned with emerald‑vein patterns. Resting quietly at one side, the reception counter exudes calm poise, while a massive relief mural stretches majestically across the wall, with carved mountains and drifting clouds forming a breathtaking first‑sight feature upon arrival. City‑street lamps outside flicker to life one after another, yet time slows down the moment you step indoors. Sofa sets in the lobby lounge are laid out with ease, their soft curved corners enclosing a peaceful retreat. Spacious spacing eases the strain of travel, granting you peace the instant you sit down and composure as you rise to leave.

Rooms of varied layouts are scattered throughout the main‑hotel building. Soft‑upholstered light‑grey walls pair with warm wooden finishes. Stripped of excessive decoration, simple, flowing lines set a tranquil tone for your stay. Refined patterns on the headboard wall carry subtle oriental charm, while floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame sweeping northern‑Xi’an scenery beyond. By day, rows of urban buildings stretch out in the north of the city; at dusk, city lights pour through the glass, filling the room with soft radiance. The whole‑house smart system lets guests adjust lighting, curtains and temperature at will, and the bathroom adopts a well‑considered wet‑dry partition design. Luxurious bedding eases travel‑related fatigue, and ZENCO CASA fits naturally within the spatial layout. Beds, lounge sofas and side‑tables are thoughtfully arranged to follow natural light, bringing relaxed comfort to every corner. As night falls behind the sheer curtains, urban hustle and indoor serenity exist side‑by‑side, letting you sink into a peaceful sleep and savour the unhurried rhythm of city life.

Spacious and bright, Feel‑Feel Music Restaurant is furnished with marble open‑display counters, antique‑style red lanterns and delicate soft decorations, forming an elegant and grand dining venue where melodious music blends gently with tempting food aromas, making it an ideal spot for business dinners and family reunions. Boyue Chinese Restaurant carries refined oriental charm, with several exclusive luxury private dining rooms featuring distinctive styles. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows in its new‑Chinese‑styled suites offer sweeping views of Xi’an’s skyline, providing a warm setting for business banquets and family gatherings. Long‑Time Café delivers a laid‑back, refreshing break perfect for leisurely afternoon conversations. Drawing inspiration from the lively spirit of Australian opal, BOFFO‑L Executive Lounge adopts a restrained, contemporary design imbued with timeless romance. ZENCO CASA blends harmoniously into the dining spaces, with warm‑textured tables and chairs hosting every toast and get‑together and adding a touch of tranquil delight for guests savouring meals while gazing out the window. Upon finishing your feast, you may relish the profound, enduring local flavours of Xi’an.

Tucked away in one corner of Boffo L Hotel lies the expansive banquet hall, where crystal lights cascade down from the vaulted ceiling.

Several tranquil conference rooms are thoughtfully arranged on‑site, fully‑equipped with audio‑visual facilities. Bathed in soft warm lighting, the spaces keep conversations comfortably contained. Whether for government‑enterprise business negotiations or casual discussions among old friends, you will always find an ideal venue for every gathering.

As dusk drapes over the buildings of Weiyang, street‑lights along Fengcheng Seventh Road flicker to life one after another, their glow fading slowly well into the early hours. Standing right here, Boffo L Hotel welcomes countless weary‑eyed travellers in its lobby. Laughter and casual chats from guests near and far drift through Feel‑Music Restaurant, while the windows of guest‑rooms frame the shimmering nocturnal light of the city. Every object bears witness to the joys and weariness of visitors. Returning to quiet stillness after each stay, they await peacefully for brand‑new stories to unfold.

ZENCO CASA blends into the very texture of the space, gentle and understated, never vying for attention. Every time you take a seat, you entrust your body and mind to a brief moment of rest; every new departure marks a silent farewell. The constant traffic hum of Fengcheng Seventh Road and echoes of the city’s daily bustle gradually ease the restlessness brought on by travel. These furnishings remain amid the warm lamplight, waiting for far‑travelled guests to lay down their weariness and leave the dust of their journey behind beneath Weiyang’s night sky. Refreshed, visitors can then move onward with a peaceful mind. Though the lights burn bright year after year and guests come and go, this quiet, enduring watchfulness never fades.
