Huzhou Time River Hotel | A poetic residence that travels through time
When I saw this newly opened Wabi-Sabi-style hotel on Ctrip, I was deeply attracted by the name "River of Time". After actually moving in, it really lived up to my expectations! From the moment you step into the lobby, you feel as if you are in an art space where sand dunes and micro-cement are intertwined. Every design is filled with a sense of tranquility that comes from the sedimentation of time.
The design is stunning and the details are perfect. I booked the "Dune Movie King Room". The package originally priced at nearly 1,500 yuan was discounted to only 299 yuan, which is very cost-effective! The room is dominated by beige and gray, and the micro-cement walls are warm to the touch. Combined with curved lines and warm light, the wabi-sabi aesthetic is captured just right. The 75-inch super-large projection screen provides an excellent viewing experience. You can curl up in bed and watch a movie at night, and the atmosphere is perfect. The bathroom design is even more unique. The floor drain replaces the traditional water-retaining stone, and the dry and wet areas are separated without any water stains. The smart toilet and electric towel rack are so thoughtful that you want to move them home!
The service was warm and exceeded expectations. The lady at the front desk was enthusiastic and thoughtful. She took the initiative to introduce the hotel concept and surrounding attractions. She also presented a commemorative gold coin of "River of Time", which was full of ceremonial details. Breakfast is Jiangnan-style snacks served in Wabi-sabi-style pottery, and even a bowl of white porridge has a Zen feel. When I checked out, I received a handwritten postcard with beautiful handwriting and sincere blessings. I was instantly attracted to it!
Environmental protection concept, promising future As one of the few all-micro-cement hotels in Jiangnan, the environmental protection details give people peace of mind. The room had no peculiar smell. The housekeeper said that the materials had zero VOC emissions, and even the bath products were customized with plant essential oils. I couldn't help but take away the samples when I checked out. The observation deck on the top floor faces the lake and mountains. Order a cup of coffee and sit quietly, as if time has stopped here.
Small regrets and suggestions: The hotel is still in trial operation, and the guidance in some areas is not clear enough, but the staff can always solve the problem as soon as possible. We look forward to adding more art exhibitions or hands-on experiences in the future to make the “philosophy of time” more accessible.
In short, you can live like you’re living in a city worth 3,000 yuan for just 299 yuan! If you are tired of the same old business hotels, why not come to the "River of Time" to experience an aesthetic journey that heals your body and mind. Already saved, will definitely check out the Castle Suite a second time before the end of the year!
🌟 Recommended reason: A must-stay for those who love design, the king of cost-effectiveness, a holy place for film production, and exquisite service🌿 Easter egg: Commemorative gold coins can be exchanged for cultural and creative products around the hotel, don’t forget to take them away~
