A hotel I'd love to stay at indefinitely! My husband discovered this aesthetic sanctuary

The guest rooms at Nanjing The Lalu Hotel feature a warm wood-toned design complemented by custom artworks, with headboard wall patterns inspired by Nanjing's Yun brocade motifs. A specially equipped tea ceremony area offers high-mountain Taiwanese tea sets, while bathrooms feature German sanitary brands and natural stone materials, complete with a scenic soaking tub. Breakfast showcases local Nanjing specialties like freshly made duck blood vermicelli soup and osmanthus-glazed taro shoots. The main dining highlights a fusion of Taiwanese and Huaiyang cuisines, with signature dishes including The Lalu's secret braised pork. The hotel's riverside promenade is landscaped with over 200 plant species. The infinity pool creates a seamless visual blend with the Yangtze River, its floor adorned with glass art installations. The spa introduces premium French wellness brands across eight treatment rooms.
