Grand Hyatt Changsha, though a bit dated, has an unbeatable location!

Grand Hyatt Changsha has been open for nearly eight years, making it quite an established hotel. While it may show some signs of age, its prime location is truly exceptional. Surrounded by shopping districts and attractions, it's conveniently accessible from anywhere in the city, making it an ideal choice for travelers. 1. The hotel's interior design was led by LTW's Lin Fengnian. Rumor has it this property was originally planned as a Shangri-La (though accuracy is unverified). The design draws inspiration from two ink paintings by Fu Baoshi and Li Keran: "Changsha" and "Mountains in Crimson." Red serves as the dominant hue, skillfully blending Hunan's regional red, Grand Hyatt's signature red, and the owner's Huayuan red. The spacious lobby exudes grandeur, adorned with numerous art pieces. 2. The hotel boasts 354 modern guest rooms & suites starting from 50 sqm—one of its standout features. For river-view rooms, higher floors are recommended for better vistas. The 120+ sqm executive suite faces southwest, offering breathtaking views of the west riverbank, Yuelu Mountain, Orange Isle, and Du Fu River Pavilion. 3. While room facilities show slight wear, the hardware remains solid. The minimalist bathroom features red bricks from Changsha's famed Tongguan Kiln. Morning light filters through the dual-sink window, casting a radiant glow on the crimson walls, creating a refreshing start to the day. 4. Guests with executive privileges can dine at the lounge—options may be limited but suffice for light meals. Breakfast offers abundant choices at either the ground-floor buffet or 6th-floor lounge. The ground floor excels in variety, while the 6th floor provides elegant ambiance with serene views. 5. The hotel's dining excels: the all-day café combines classic elegance with global cuisines and authentic Hunan/Cantonese dishes; the trendy "Bar 36" social bar is perfect for nightcaps against the glittering Xiang River skyline, featuring live band performances. 6. "Xiang Jiang 36" Chinese restaurant showcases traditional Hunan flavors, where local chefs prepare authentic dishes. Its semi-open kitchen presents signature roast duck—a must-try delicacy with tender, exquisite texture.
