Growing Old with Grace: Sheraton Shunde Hotel in Foshan, Guangdong

【Introduction】: The Sheraton Shunde Hotel is the pioneer of five-star hotels in Shunde. Its architecture is quite distinctive, with a folded corner design resembling an open book, which remains timeless even today. 🏨【Hotel Address】: No. 11 Desheng Middle Road, New City District, Daliang Town, Shunde District, Foshan City (opposite to Xintiandi Golf Sports Plaza) 🌆【Decor Style】: The hotel's entrance sets the stage with a winding uphill driveway and intermittent fountains, a grandeur that makes many newly opened luxury hotels pale in comparison. Stepping into the lobby, the violin-shaped columns add a touch of dynamism to the hotel's temporal depth, and the display of XO bottles in the lobby bar area is undoubtedly an interpretation of 'luxury'. 🛏【Room Type/Layout】: The room experienced this time is an executive suite with a balcony, covering an area of 85 square meters, with a well-proportioned layout of one bedroom, one living room, and two bathrooms. The room as a whole adopts the art-deco design style commonly used in luxury hotels of the past era. The balcony faces the Desheng River, offering a broad view, and during the day, the noise of the elderly dancing in the square can be faintly heard. The bathroom's retro marble stripe design is very reminiscent of the Four Seasons in Guangzhou. Duravit basins and Kohler hardware combined with marble countertops are the best interpretations of 'luxury' from that era. ⛺【Recreation】: The hotel's recreational facilities are very comprehensive. In addition to the semi-outdoor swimming pool, the gym's size and lighting are also quite generous, including a table tennis table, and there is an outdoor tennis court. Considering the hotel's completion time, such configuration is quite strategic and unique. 🍩【Restaurant Features】: The lounge is located on the 15th floor, offering a panoramic view of the Desheng River and Daliang cityscape. Although it is open 24 hours, the lack of juice in the soft drinks is indeed a shortcoming. The variety and quality of the offerings at hh are quite impressive, and it even provides noodle dishes, which are rare in Marriott hotels. The breakfast the next day is basically safe to choose blindly, with very authentic rice noodle rolls and fish congee. 🏬【Nearby Attractions】: When in Shunde, one must experience the Happy Coast Plus and Shunfeng Mountain outside the hotel, which are not very crowded and are perfect for a leisurely stroll. 💴【Average Cost】: The cost of living in Shunde, Foshan is not high, and although it is a five-star hotel, the price is only around a thousand yuan. However, it seems that there are quite a few discounts if you book in advance through Ctrip, so it is recommended to book in advance~ 🧡【tips】: Although this Sheraton has been open for over a decade, it still maintains its own standards. From the hotel's perspective, judging it from the dimension of time often yields more emotional value. True taste is never about blindly chasing the new, but about understanding nostalgia.
