This time I came to Nanjing to visit the ancient capital and connect with local partners. I specifically choseNanjing Central Hotel. After staying for three days, I realized that this old star rated hotel, which has been rooted in the core area of Xinjiekou for decades, is a treasure trove for travel in Nanjing. It balances the core location advantages of Xinjiekou with the relaxed texture of old Nanjing perfectly.
The hotel's location is extremely advantageous, located in the core business district of Xinjiekou in Nanjing. It takes only 3 minutes to walk to Xinjiekou subway station, where Line 2, Line 3, and Line 1 intersect. There is no need to take a detour through remote alleys or drag a suitcase filled with souvenirs, and walk a few steps to enter the subway station. It only takes 20 minutes to take the subway to Nanjing South Station, so you don't have to wake up before dawn to catch the high-speed train. It only takes 15 minutes by subway to get to Confucius Temple and Laomen East, even during rush hour, and you can easily avoid road congestion without wasting time in traffic. As soon as I arrived at the hotel entrance, the staff from the concierge department took the initiative to help me pick up my suitcase and guided me to the front desk with a smile to check in. Even the greeting from the doorman was filled with the warmth unique to Nanjing people, without any rigid sense of politeness.
The moment you open the hotel door, you can feel the unique calm temperament of the old landmark hotel. The decoration of the lobby is atmospheric and orderly, with a texture that has been precipitated everywhere, without any feeling of old and dilapidated. The efficiency of the front desk check-in was very high. Upon learning that I was a first-time visitor to Nanjing, they not only quickly helped me complete the procedures, but also took the initiative to arrange a high floor landscape room type for me. With a smile, they handed me a handwritten local shopping map, marking the famous duck blood fan soup shops that locals often go to around Xinjiekou, and avoiding the internet famous pit shops that specialize in tourist business. It was much more practical than searching for guides online.
The 40 square luxury big bed room I live in is spacious and transparent. The warm decoration style is calm and comfortable. The large french window are facing the urban landscape of Xinjiekou. Standing by the window in the evening, you can see the lights of every family in Xinjiekou. The spacious solid wood desk is particularly suitable for organizing travel photos and coordinating work news. It is also not crowded when spreading out notebooks and travel guides. The high-speed WiFi is stable throughout the entire process and does not drop. When holding a two-hour online video docking meeting, there is no lag in both the picture and sound. The bedding was washed clean, and upon closer inspection, there was only a faint scent of laundry detergent. Lying down, it was just right in terms of softness and hardness. After wandering around the mountains all day, my legs were sore, and I could fall asleep by tilting my head. The sound insulation in the room was particularly well done, and after closing the door, there was no sound of the noisy traffic at Xinjiekou, so I slept soundly all night. In every detail, it is thoughtful. The independent wet dry separation bathroom has no scale, and the hot water comes out in just a few seconds. After taking a hot shower, the fatigue all over the body is relieved. The room is also equipped with free local rain tea, and after finishing work, you can soak in a cup and leisurely pass half of the afternoon.
The hotel's facilities completely exceeded expectations, with conference halls of different specifications covering the entire scene from small business negotiation rooms to large banquet halls. Whether it's inviting clients to discuss cooperation or hosting small industry salons, suitable venues can be found. The 24-hour fitness center is fully equipped, and after visiting the scenic spots, you can take a half-hour run twice to stretch your stiff legs. The hotel's built-in restaurant offers a wide variety of breakfast options, including authentic duck blood vermicelli soup and freshly made chicken crowing soup dumplings. You can enjoy authentic Nanjing flavors without leaving your home.
The pyrotechnic atmosphere of old Nanjing is hidden in the neighborhood. The downstairs is the Xinjiekou Business District. There are all kinds of chain restaurants and time-honored Dim sum stores. Within 10 minutes' walk, there are everything from the old duck blood noodle soup store, the authentic salted duck specialty store that has opened for decades, to the Pidu Noodle Snack Club that also opens late at night. You can eat the time-honored brands that local people often go to without going far away. It takes only 15 minutes to walk to Xuanwu Lake Park. After finishing work, take a break in the evening to take a walk by the lake and enjoy the sunset over Purple Mountain with the evening breeze. The fatigue of the whole day can be relieved. There is no noisy and crowded hotel in the bustling city, but the location, service, and facilities are all perfectly arranged. Whether it is business people coming to Nanjing for business trips or tourists visiting the ancient capital for short trips, Nanjing Central Hotel is a choice that can make people stay particularly secure. Next time I come to Nanjing, I will definitely choose this place directly.Show more
