This time in Chengdu, I deliberately gave up the popular new hotel in the business district and settled my three-day itinerary at Jinjiang Hotel Chengdu. As the first five-star hotel in Southwest China, its accommodation experience completely transcends the basic requirement of 'overnight stay' and permeates the comfort of the old five-star hotel into every detail.
Coming out of Exit B of Jinjiang Hotel Station on Metro Line 1, taking only two steps, you will step into the hotel's park. The 50000 square meter garden style space instantly isolates the hustle and bustle of the city center. The river view room of the VIP building I selected was designed by the international team. The panoramic soundproof french window are facing the Funan River. In the daytime, you can see the pedestrians walking along the river. At night, you can see the lights on both sides of the river. After closing the windows, you can't even hear the sound of traffic. The experience of quiet in the midst of trouble is particularly rare in the heart of a city with a lot of money. The configuration in the room is all high-end and solid: the silky mattress provides just the right support, and after a day of sightseeing and lying down, the soreness and swelling in the body quickly dissipate; High weave light luxury bedding adheres to the skin without stuffy sweat, and there is no discomfort even after staying for three nights; JBL speakers and imported coffee machines are readily available, and the detailed design of the marble bathroom ensures even the water temperature and pressure during bathing are just right.
The most reassuring thing is the maintenance skills of old hotels, even if they have been in operation for many years, every facility in the room is well maintained and tidy, without any common looseness or malfunction in old hotels. The high-speed WiFi covering the entire house ensures uninterrupted video and file transmission, even if I am temporarily working in my room, I don't have to worry about the internet at all. What's even more considerate is the one-on-one service provided by Jinjiang Butler. The night before, I casually mentioned that my feet had been sore after walking all day. When I returned to my room, the bathtub had already been filled with warm water at a suitable temperature, and there was a small cup of refreshing afternoon tea next to it. Even the thread accidentally hooked on my coat had been quietly sewn up and neatly placed at the bedside.
The accommodation facilities in public areas also provide ample comfort. The gym, which is open 24 hours a day, has complete equipment. If you get tired of strolling, you can go for a half-hour walk and feel relaxed all over; The executive lounge overlooks the garden, and in the afternoon, I sit with a cup of coffee, lost in thought, watching the swaying shadows of the garden trees outside the window, even slowing down the time. The experience of breakfast was far more than expected. The freshly made egg cake was crisp outside and soft inside, and the aroma of Dandan noodles was just right. Chinese and Western style meals were all over the table, and fresh taste could be found even after three days of eating.
My biggest feeling after staying for three days is that the accommodation experience of Jinjiang Hotel Chengdu has never been built up by luxurious decoration, but by decades of accumulation of a sense of appropriateness - you don't have to specifically mention your needs, all the details that can be thought of and unexpected have been arranged in advance by the hotel for you. It is not just a place to stay, but also an exclusive space that allows people to completely relax and slow down to experience the leisurely atmosphere of Chengdu. Next time I come to Chengdu, I will definitely treat it as my own home away from home as soon as possible.Show more
