The hotel is in a great location, next to the famous scenic spot, the Presidential Palace. The Six Dynasties Museum is connected to the hotel, and hotel guests can purchase museum tickets at half price. It is easily accessible by subway from Nanjing Station or Nanjing South Railway Station. The hotel lobby bar is a famous online destination called Traveler's Bookstore. The walls are lined with bookshelves, so people take more photos than they enjoy the food. The hotel is also famous for the two black swans in the small pond on the platform. They live comfortably in the hotel environment, and the two loving swans definitely have a comfortable life. The hotel rooms are decorated in a conventional manner. After the TV is turned on, the welcome page directly shows our names, which shows that the hotel is very attentive to the guests' check-in. At the same time, there is also a small robot named Rokid in the room, which is quite fun. The hotel's gym and swimming pool are on the first basement floor. The swimming pool is heated, so it is not cold to enter the water in winter. There is also a sauna, but there are no other special features. The hotel does not have an executive lounge. The restaurant on the second floor has a happy hour for Gold Card and above customers. There are not many choices, but it is enough to fill your stomach. Breakfast is in the restaurant on the first basement floor. There are many choices, and there are Nanjing special snacks. However, it is a bit cold to sit near the entrance. Overall, the Luxury Collection brand is destined to have high standards for the hotel's decoration and service. In short, I am very satisfied and recommend it!
