一花一世界,一语一天堂,不同的书带给人不同的感悟。若拿酒店与书作类比,有的包装精致,有的标题吸睛,而有的,看似简单却值得一读。位于苏梅岛的图书馆酒店(The Library)就是这样一本好书。从名字到设计,从格调到服务,大多数的住店客人在啧啧称奇酒店风格独特的同时,不觉间感受到了度假的幸福。酒店拥有者Kasemtham Sornsong曾这样形容自家酒店:“随着时间的流逝,许多事物都会改变。但图书馆酒店不会,它是一部永不过时的不朽之作。”何以如此信心满满?且待我们细细翻阅。

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a 'book'. If you compare hotels to books, some books have exquisite packaging, some have eye-catching titles, while others are seemingly simple but worth reading. Located in Koh Samui, Thailand, The Library is such a good book. From the name to the design, from the style to the service, most visitors staying in the hotel are always amazed at the unique style, while feeling the holiday happiness. "As time passes, many things will change, but the book is immortal," says Mr. Kasemtham Sornsong, Owner and Managing Director of The Library. Maybe we will understand why he says so after reading this"book".
简约的酒店,简单的幸福
Simple Hotel, Simple Happiness

2007年开业的图书馆酒店是一间位于查武恩海滩中心地带的抽象主义酒店。酒店主人Sornsong先生本身就是当地著名的设计师,在众多国际连锁酒店遍布苏梅岛的今天,Sornsong先生一直想打造一间能与其抗衡的本土酒店。这与另一位当地设计师Tirawan Songsawat女士的想法不谋而合,热爱读书的Songsawat女士认为,一个好的假期最不可缺少的就是一本可以随身携带的好书。当他们在命运的安排下偶然相遇时,思想的火花碰撞发酵,秉持着对读书的热爱和“简单即美好”的生活哲学,他们用最为质朴的红、棕、白、黑四色,配以蓝天碧海;用时尚简约的气息配以古朴书香,打造了这间泰国最新潮的设计酒店。
酒店地处闹市却显得极为宁静安逸,其秘诀除了采用郁郁苍苍的古树隔开噪音,酒店本身自带的“书香”气息想必也建功不小。一进大门,入口处的白色人偶盘腿而坐,聚精会神地看着手中的书。在名为“目录”的大堂登记过后,走进酒店内部,你会发现这样的人偶随处可见。无论是巨大的树荫,还是柔软洁白的沙滩,他们或站立,或倚靠,或平躺,仿佛在以各种舒服惬意的姿势告诉人们:来吧,到这里静听习习海风吹过棕榈叶,感受清澈见底的海水没过金色沙滩,再读上几页好书,你会发现度假旅行中最简单的幸福。

Based on their love of reading and the philosophy of life that "simple is beautiful", they decided to employ the 4 simplest colors,red, brown, white and black, to match the blue sky and the vast sea. With the chic minimalist feel on the one hand,and the guileless bookish atmosphere on the other, the most modern design hotel of Thailand was born.
The Library is a stunning conceptual hotel located at the heart of Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui, Thailand. Being a local resident of Koh Samui, Mr. Sornsong has learned that the island has been overcome by foreign hotel chain companies and oversea investors in the past 10 years. The project was shaped by the hands of an island local who was inspired by books and a simple lifestyle philosophy.

Although located in downtown, the hotel is in harmony surrounded by gray old trees. At the entrance, a white puppet sitting cross-legged, attentively reading a book. Through the registration hall named "Content" into the hotel interior, you will find this kind of doll everywhere. Whether it is a huge shade, the "Red Pool" or soft white beaches, they stand, or lean on, or lie down, as if in a variety of comfortable relaxing positions, to tell people: Come here to listen to the sea breeze blowing through the palm leaves, feel the crystal clear waters above the golden sands, read a few pages of books, and you'll find the most simple happiness for a holiday.

翻过“目录”,来到酒店的主体建筑——图书馆。相较于平日里所见到的图书馆,玻璃搭建的馆内空间纯净,更似一处艺术展览馆。大落地窗设计引入窗外大量的绿色,亦让看书的人随时感受苏梅岛的海风轻拂。楼顶的露天阅读区更有360度无敌海景。蘸着书香欣赏美景,对于平日里手不释卷的文人来说,似乎已是顶级的享受。更不用提那些由酒店主人精心收集的大量电影DVD和音乐CD所带来的全方位视听盛宴了。
The theme building of The Library is named The Lib, with its impressive collection of books to leaf through and an array of DVD movies and music CDs of various genres to enjoy. Minimalist alabaster-white interiors, coupled with stunning views of the sea and The Red Pool provide a picture-perfect backdrop to an afternoon of light reading and relaxed entertainment.
今晚,你想阅读哪一页?
Which Page Do You Want to Read Tonight?
如果你认为图书馆酒店内有一间图书馆,那就大错特错了。就像她的名字一样,其实整间酒店就是一间图书馆,她能给你带来的不仅仅是藏书的数量与种类,更是适合读书的场所与氛围。除了随处可见的草坪,沙滩等公共区域,情调各异的房间也是理想的阅读场所。

整个酒店共有26个形式独特的房间。每个房间都用大大的图案从“第一页”(Page1)到“第26页”(Page26)分别标识出来。打开房门,极白,没有过多华丽的装饰,简约的风格代表了整个酒店的时尚观念。床和电视分立于卧室的两侧,桌椅紧挨于窗口。这种“减法设计”把不必要的笔画抹去,还原空间,加之红白黑三色的强烈对比,让住在这里的客人,似乎连心都不自觉地敞开了许多。阳台上的两张躺椅,似乎在盛情邀约着读书爱好者们赶紧去坐一坐。除了拥有无敌的海景,每个房间旁边都有精心种植和保护的古老树木延伸而出,为在阳台上阅读书籍的客人带来一抹碧绿和安宁。

The entire hotel is a library, not only does it have a surprising number of books, it is also abundant with reading spaces.
During the stay, you will find that , the entire hotel is a library. Not only does it have a surprising number of books, it is also abundant with reading spaces. In addition to the ubiquitous public lawn areas, beaches, etc., all the rooms with different atmosphere are all ideal places to read in.
The entire hotel has a total of 26 unique rooms. Each room has a big pattern from Page1 to Page26 individually identified. The room is not too ornate, just very white. The minimalist style represents the entire concept of hotel fashion. Throughout the bedroom, you find only a bed, a TV and a table and chairs. This "design subtraction" erases unnecessary strokes and redeems the space, coupled with the strong color contrast of red and black, opening the hearts of the staying guests. And on the balcony are two chairs, just a kind invitation of reading enthusiasts. In addition to the ocean, each room provides guests with a glimpse of age-old trees, which are lovingly preserved and now part of the complex.
设计师Tirawan Songsawat女士曾这样评价自己对苏梅岛图书馆酒店的感触:“(酒店)简约的装潢并不意味着没有设计感,就如同真正的幸福一样,她随处可见,只是不易发觉。生活中的基本设施和大自然资源的搭配已经十分完美,不需要我们再去做过多的修饰。我们需要的,只是一些时间和空间,来感受、发觉和珍惜这类美好。”对于那些钟爱苏梅岛图书馆的人来说,亦是这样,无需去刻意追求些什么,只要有一个安逸的地儿,静静坐下小读一会儿便好。

"Simple décor (of the hotel) doesn't mean there is no design. Real happiness is simple if we know how to see it. Basic things in life and existing natural resources are valuable more than what is apparent. We need only time and space to feel, touch and treasure it." This came from Tirawan Songsawat, designer of the Library Koh Samui, describing how she feels about the design of the hotel. For the fans of The Library Koh Samui, this is pretty much the same. The Library Koh Samui is able invoke people's lust for text on the road.
