What Chinese Hotel Has An Execution Floor?

July 6, 2011 at 9:05 AM | by | Comments (3)

We found this bizarre sign while trolling some Tumblr blogs this afternoon, and have to admit, we're a little stumped. After some diligent Google image searching we determined these were Japanese characters two people pointed out to us that these were simple Chinese characters, we're still unclear as to what hotel this is, and what exactly an "execution floor" might be.

Our guess? It's probably a poorly translated version of "Executive." But maybe executing of a different sort does happen on this floor?

We are reminded of a certain death ray hotel in Vegas that left one guest with a melted plastic bag and singed hair. This was also an initial concern at the newly-opened Dream Downtown's pool-beach area, but those fears have been squelched.

If this sign rings a bell for you, or if you can do a better job translating, then please let us know!

Asking for correction

These are not Japanese but Chinese characters. Thank you in advance to correct your article AND to delete this account i just made.

Executive, not execution...

Your guess is correct. The characters translate as xingzheng kefang, or "executive guest room." But you never know what those executives might do when they've had a bit too much baiju...

Simplified Chinese

It's likely to be a hotel in mainland China as it's written in Simplified Chinese, as opposed to Traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
