Write it before the trip

We always look forward to traveling at random, but there is no time when we can better understand the joy of being able to leave at any time than during this extraordinary period. In recent years, I have to go to Guangzhou at least once a year; when I almost thought I wouldn't be able to go this year, I had an opportunity before the Dragon Boat Festival. In the current mood of crossing provinces as if going abroad in the past, going to Guangzhou for a short Dragon Boat Festival holiday seems particularly exciting. "After staying in a cage for a long time, you will return to nature." This year's life needs to be like this.

I have written many travel notes on Guangzhou in different lengths, about check-in at scenic spots, about food, and about parent-child issues; Guangzhou has the commonality of all major cities in China, that is-it is like an endless book, and it has been constantly updating chapters, so we can never read the ending and draw a conclusion. This time, I want to start from a hotel-style vacation and interpret a brand new and unseen Guangzhou.

Of course, you can also regard this travel note, which is different from the past, as a hotel review.

Meet the new style of Guangzhou in Elegance

When I came to Guangzhou several times, I mostly walked around the Laocheng District and never stayed in Zhujiang New City for more than 3 hours. Therefore, I thought that the Guangzhou Elegance Hotel I was going to stay in this time was located on the front line of Zhujiang New City, and I felt that the journey to come was still unfamiliar and fresh.

Take the subway from the airport to Liede Station. After you leave the station, you will find the busy traffic in the city's CBD. Summer was already in Guangzhou during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the warm southern atmosphere flowed in the drizzling air; when we walked into the depths of the reinforced concrete jungle with umbrellas, the skyscrapers around Liede Village alternated with Lingnan retro buildings with rich carvings. Appears, bringing the first wave of visual impact belonging to Guangzhou. The beginning of the journey also arrives.

Guangzhou Elegance Hotel is located in Tiande Square, a landmark building in the top business district of Zhujiang New City, and occupies the best view of the river view from Liede Bridge to Xiaomanyao without obstruction. The hotel's facade consists of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which can cast flowing clouds and shadows when the weather is fine. The overall shape is arc-shaped, like a huge sail raised, overlooking the Pearl River at your feet, constantly galloping day and night.

Guangzhou Elegance, built in the bustling and modern Guangzhou CBD business district, is not labeled as "business" and "fast-paced" like surrounding hotels; instead, it is positioned as a high-end hotel focusing on vacation and wellness, which is unexpected. It is said that Guangzhou is the most open and inclusive of the four first-tier cities. As long as you are bold enough, everything is possible here. For example, Yazhi spent huge sums of money to build it in the CBD of Zhujiang New City but engaged in health preservation?

Yes, when you step into the hotel, you will have a new understanding of Guangzhou.

New design upstart along the Pearl River

During the three-day stay, we had enough time to look at this newly opened hotel from different lights during day, dusk and night. Although the hotel's sky lobby is on 28F, the sincerity of the hotel's design can still be seen at the entrance to the first floor. The new Chinese style with both texture and fashion has almost become the mainstream of most new hotels now. The tall entrance on the first floor is the first impression of Guangzhou's elegance. It is not overly flashy and is decorated with carefully designed lighting, unique sculptures and furniture.

Although many guests and staff walk back and forth in the elevator room on the first floor every day, the hotel still places a sofa and coffee table on the first floor, giving this space a resting function. The funny sculptures next to them are also the subjects of high-frequency photos taken by the guests. Inadvertent design can best enhance the overall texture of the hotel.

The lobby on the 28th floor still retains the "good habits" of all elegant hotels-there is a small corner where various commonly used items such as toilet water, chargers, cotton swabs, antipyretic stickers, and band-aids are placed. Guests can use it for free. Especially when you happen to need something and you don't happen to have it with you, this corner will come in handy. Although I have never used it before, I always pay attention to this pleasant detail every time I stay in Elegance.

It can be seen from the corner of commonly used goods mentioned above that compared with other hotels, Guangzhou Elegance Hotel values more considerate and thoughtful service to its guests. From the moment you stepped into the hotel, the one-on-one personal housekeeper service began. Online 24 hours a day, you can ask for help from the housekeeper for everything from formalities, guidance, information consultation, etc. It is simply a universal assistant during your stay.

Landscape room with both appearance and talent online at the same time

The landscape room has almost become an elegant "attraction" in Guangzhou. While other people are still looking for high-altitude restaurants on the other side of the river and booking seats to find an angle to take photos with Xiao Manyao in the air, you can easily stay in your room, no matter what you pose, you won't be embarrassed by others, and you can take enough photos in 24 hours a day.

Although this is not the first time I have stayed in a high-altitude hotel with a view in the center of the city, it is the first time I have encountered such an elegant hotel room that achieves the same "playable" landscape view and room facilities. It can be said that it is "beautiful" and "talented". Online at the same time, it is both gimmicks and connotations, and it is first-class cost-effective.

The hotel has a total of 387 rooms, located on the 29th to 39th floors, and is equipped with a variety of room types: dynamic and trendy Tesla rooms, stable and elegant business rooms, and river views, city views and cloud suites with excellent views of "Small Waist"; can suit all types and preferences of guests. Different styles of room types can be seen in the corridors on each floor. For example, the colorful lights in the corridor where the Tesla Room is located make people feel as if they are walking into a tunnel of light and shadow.

Rooms have always been the highlight of the elegant series of hotels. Even the most basic room type area is spacious enough. The automatic sensing curtains and lighting control system allow guests to feel the charm of smart rooms as soon as they step into the room. 1.8 The two-meter-long bed, high-end comfortable bedding and two pillows of different heights provide a good night's sleep.

The most amazing thing is the entire floor-to-ceiling window in the guest room. When the automatic curtains slowly open, the view of the river facing Xiao Man's waist gradually appears. The shock is no less than when you enter the Sanya Sea View Room and see the sea outside the window. When I am free, I sit back on the sofa and watch the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pearl River, and watch the CBD on both sides of the Pearl River go from the clouds in the day to the bright lights at night. Time is fast and slow, and the sun rises and sets are always in an instant.

Here, you can no longer dwell on the passage of time, just for the clear wind and the bright moon.

In addition to the convenient light control buttons at the bedside, the hotel also carefully prepared a data cable with multiple interfaces. This is not something that ordinary hotel rooms have, so you no longer have to worry about not bringing a charger for business trips.

Capsule coffee machines are also standard in guest rooms of Guangzhou Elegance Hotel. If you don't like coffee, the hotel has also prepared the most famous dilmah tea bag in Sri Lanka; even if you don't go to the restaurant, you can enjoy high-quality afternoon tea time in your room.

Keep up with the fast pace of the city or enjoy the slow pace of your vacation? Everything's in your hands.

Pure water and drinks are available in the minibar, and they are all free.

There is a clear separation between the bathroom area and the bedroom area. No matter which room type, the ultra-practical bathroom deserves a good introduction. Inductive lighting and touch-sensitive anti-fog cosmetic mirrors are the smart life experiences provided by the hotel. The toilet seat and the shower room each occupy a small area, and the separation of dry and wet also conforms to the current design trend of high-end hotels. The large-area dressing table and thoughtful dressing stool are definitely a benefit for girls to make up every day.

The toilet seat area, which usually does not receive much attention, also has the hotel's attention. In addition to the Kohler brand, which is visible, it is the first time to see sockets installed next to the toilet seat, magazines placed, and aromatherapy. Even the toilet time is filled with the hotel's silent human care. The shower equipment that produces hot water at high speed, strong water pressure and stable water temperature, coupled with L'Occitane's toiletries, brings a refreshing bathing experience.

I remembered that there was a hotel classification tag called "high-end hotel that you will understand only after sleeping with", which means Guangzhou's elegance. No matter how many photos and videos you see, it's not as good as coming here in person.

In addition to regular bathing suits, the washing area is also equipped with formal skin care products, such as cleansing, moisturizing gel, hand cream, perfume, etc. Girls can basically move in with their bags.

Some room types are equipped with Dyson hair dryers and L'Occitane's shampoo and conditioner. You can experience a salon-class hairdressing experience in the room.

Who comes to Guangzhou and doesn't care about food?

No matter what purpose you are in Guangzhou, Guangzhou's food definitely requires noodles.

After all, who comes to Guangzhou and doesn't care about food?

Linjiangge Restaurant, located on 4F, specializes in various Chinese and Western cuisines, mainly Cantonese cuisine. In Guangzhou, you can stay at the hotel and complete one bite after another. The restaurant has two major areas: a lobby and a private box. The black, white and gray rigid industrial lines can be said to be a good mix and match with the fashionable European blue and soft bags seats. The reason why the restaurant is called Linjiang Pavilion is that the side facing the Pearl River is fully covered with floor-to-ceiling windows. No matter which corner of the restaurant you sit in, you can look out the window at the Liede Bridge and Xiaoman Waist.

In the face of the beautiful scenery, it is simply impossible to eat more!

Just as those scenic hotels and restaurants on the Bund in Shanghai use the Lujiazui skyline as the main background, the protagonist of the elegant Linjiang Pavilion is the Liede Bridge and Xiaomanyao on the other side of the Pearl River. For guests who don't stay at the hotel and don't feast their eyes in their own room in advance, it's quite amazing when they first enter.

The arc-shaped bar is located at the end of the restaurant and provides drinks, beverages and coffee, which can satisfy your "drink" wish.

During our three days and two nights in Guangzhou Elegance, we tasted the buffet breakfast, dinner and Chinese ordered food here. The flavors were all delicious and satisfied all our imaginations about the food here before coming to Guangzhou. Because of the Linjiangge Restaurant, there is no need to make another food guide when you come to Guangzhou.

[High-energy Warning] There is a big wave of delicious food coming ahead, and a large number of pictures are dedicated to treating all kinds of food that can't be eaten and have no appetite...

While tasting the breakfast buffet and saying good morning to the small waist outside the window, it is an elegant and unique breakfast experience.

The variety of breakfast buffet is already very rich, and there is almost everything you can imagine, especially the Guangzhou specialty steamed dishes, which is quite surprising. You don't have to go to an outside teahouse to grab a seat in the morning. Ask the chef to help cook a bowl of soup powder and grab a few baskets of your favorite steaming spots, and you can enjoy Guangzhou-style morning tea in the hotel.

The theme of the buffet at night is seafood, and the land and sea flavors can be enjoyed here. There are 10+ stalls full of Chinese and Western delicacies. The variety is so rich that people can't see it. You can check in exotic delicacies in one stop. It's really suitable for big eaters! It is worth mentioning that sashimi, shellfish, and crab legs are all very fresh and have become the most sought-after variety during the dinner buffet. It is simply slow. Mexican taco and the small meat platter next to it are almost the beauty of the entire dinner.

Hot chicken cakes, lamb chops, and pork knuckles are also very important in front of seafood. You can smell the unique aroma of meat every time you walk by. If you want to taste Chinese food, you can eat Guangzhou specialty roast meat and porridge noodles in the restaurant. The massive amount of food covers almost all tastes of diners, and the buffet makes it no longer difficult for everyone to adjust.

For such a neatly arranged dessert table, which girl can resist it?

By the way, the day we arrived was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the restaurant launched rice dumplings very appropriately. We must give them good reviews!

Eat too much buffet? Restaurants can also accept ordering meals. Perhaps Chinese and Cantonese cuisine can better reflect the "cultivation" of restaurant chefs. After eating two meals of Cantonese food at Linjiangge, I have to say that they cooked the buffet with sincerity, and they also took Cantonese food completely seriously. I think this also breaks the misunderstanding of Guangzhou gourmets that "there is no Cantonese food in Zhujiang New City".

Soy chicken, stewed platter, stir-fried kale, and Cantonese soup all highlight the purest gene of Cantonese food. While the reliable products allow Cantonese food lovers to feast on it, the exquisite presentation also allows Cantonese food to rise from the market. A higher level. There are also creative dishes other than traditional Cantonese cuisine. Can you guess what that ultra-realistic lychee tree actually is? It's actually shrimp balls! I really don't know if I don't eat it. It's crispy on the outside and has clear layers of Q on the inside, and it comes with the delicacy of shrimp.

The chefs in Linjiang Pavilion are amazing!

Free afternoon tea, non-stop food throughout the day

On one side of the front desk on the 28th floor is the lobby bar, which has a variety of sofa seats suitable for "slumping" for most of the day; you can enjoy a vacation or a business reception. As for the high-altitude landscape on the 28th floor, it seems that it is no surprise that it is elegant in Guangzhou.

Naturally, the lobby bar will not be empty with sofas and landscapes. In addition to the free buffet breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m., there is also an uninterrupted free buffet morning and afternoon tea supply in the lobby bar on 28F every day from 11:00 to 22:00. You can enjoy it by reporting your room number. This is also a "traditional reservation" of Meihao series hotels, but each hotel provides different types of morning and afternoon tea. Guangzhou Elegance should be one of the most diverse and exquisite products among the Meihao series hotels I have ever stayed in; it is definitely worthy of Guangzhou's positioning as a gourmet capital.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are perfectly connected with afternoon and afternoon tea, and there seems to be not much time when there is an appetite. Guangzhou Elegance is determined to fatten all its guests.

If you are lucky, you can still sit by the window. Don't forget to take photos! With the oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and the small waist outside the window, as well as the exquisite small West Point in front of you, it is easy to get the ins-style cover photo!

Hotel cross-border medical beauty physiotherapy? It's time for a SPA

A major feature of Guangzhou Elegance Hotel is the cross-border "big health + medical beauty". It combines modern scientific health concepts and creates a 1600-square-meter medical beauty area on the 28th floor. It has both traditional spas and a wealth of professional medical beauty projects; it not only inherits the natural recuperation culture of European aristocrats, but also integrates the essence of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, and can satisfy guests with different health care, beauty and body preferences. It can be said that it is Guangzhou's elegant treasure service.

Because on the 28th floor, the view of the traditional SPA private room is quite good. While relaxing here and experiencing the SPA while admiring the scenery outside the window, what I want to enjoy is double healing of my body and mind!

We chose the ancient German salt fog SPA. The hotel specially created a unique salt cave, which has the original feel of a natural cave. Indeed, there are many salt mines in the Alps of southern Germany and northwest Austria, where the salt produced is also made into handicrafts, making it the first choice for tourists to buy accompanying gifts. This high-altitude natural mineral salt from the Alps is used here to create natural caves, salt sand, and salt fog spaces. Healing the body and mind with the concept of scientific recuperation, and also has the effect of helping recover from chronic diseases, reducing inflammation and sterilization, and improving immunity.

You can enter and experience it by changing into special clothes, which is very convenient. The cave was not as hot and unbearable as imagined. The temperature was right, and the dark light could quickly relax people. Lie on the chair, find the most comfortable position for yourself, and lie down for about half an hour to maintain health and nourish your heart. In the warm environment and the recliner that makes people stretch out wantonly, after closing their eyes for a while, their thoughts flew to the long-lost sunny island.

If you need more "enthusiastic" care, there is also a small room in the cave. You can feel the temperature rise significantly when you open the door. The staff introduced that this place combines traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and acupuncture and heat treatment to achieve scientific in-depth physical and mental conditioning.

Stroll around Tiande Street and feel the charm of Guangzhou in many aspects

Tiande Street downstairs of the hotel is adjacent to Liede Village. It is a fashionable food street shaped by ancient buildings in Lingnan. It is built along the river and antique. When I arrived on the first day, I felt that it was particularly conspicuous in the Pearl River New City with many modern high-rise buildings. A short street is full of online celebrity shops, large and small, with all kinds of Chinese and Western cuisine, Japanese, Korean, and southeastern cuisines. It is suitable for you to find any restaurant and sit down and take photos and delicious food. Even if you don't plan to solve your meal problem here, it's enough to stroll around.

At one end of Tiande Street, there is the best shooting point for filming Xiao Man Yao; compared with the various river scenery blockbusters that most frequently appear in Xiao Man Yao, this kind of frame-style composition is also eye-catching.

Although they are all ancient buildings in Lingnan, the roof tiles are still full of brick carvings with rich details, in sharp contrast to the modern steel structure buildings behind them. Here, you can see the unique charm of Guangzhou in many aspects.

Behind Tiande Street is Liede Chung, with Lieshui Bridge across it, like a Jiangnan water town hidden in the center of the city's CBD. This only natural river within the Pearl River New City is also the life stage of Liede villagers for generations. As an important carrier of the "hunting culture" that inherits the classics of old Guangzhou, it is full of "old Guangzhou" characteristics.

After the rush hour, walking slowly along the river makes even the air become literary and artistic. In a trance, you can still see the slow-paced side of Guangzhou, a developed city. Occasionally, I can meet the ancestral temples left over in Lingnan. Although the door is closed and I look inside curiously, the depth and mystery of the wealthy mansion is also evident.

During the day, it is a beautiful and refined urban garden, but at night, it becomes a food street filled with wine. With the decoration of lights, the simple and thick blue brick houses during the day also began to exude a youthful and fashionable atmosphere.

Standing on the Lieshui Bridge and looking back at the elegant hotel, I found that Xiaomanyao is really only a stone's throw away from the hotel.

If you think Tiande Street is not enough to stroll around, you can walk across the road and reach the Pearl River for a few minutes. Under the Liede Bridge, there are local people dancing, singing, walking dogs, and running at night; appreciating the small waist on the other end of the bridge here is more cordial and moving than usual in the scenic area.

The night is a surprise egg for the hotel to give guests

The night view of CBD can always allow people to appreciate what the ultimate prosperity of the city is, and the night view of Zhujiang New Town cannot be missed. The Guangzhou Elegance Hotel at night is completely different from the day. The flowing fountain at the door adds a touch of agility and tenderness to this dazzling night. Judging from the aerial photo, Tiande Square stands proudly at the intersection at night and becomes the most eye-catching star in the surrounding area; once the open sail is lit up by night, it is more suitable for long voyages.

The night view of the Pearl River always makes people feel tired of seeing it. It turns out that Xiao Man Yao can change all colors except the colorful colors. It turns out that Xiao Man Yao lights off the lights on time at 23:00. I was obsessed with the night view in front of me, and I sat by the window of the guest room for two nights. Only then did I realize this kind of "cold knowledge" for tourists. Of course, the hotel's surprises don't stop there. The housekeeper sent "late" afternoon tea, and the birdcage containers and exquisite and delicious small western cakes were really overwhelming, making people instantly forget about dieting and weight loss.

Such birdcage afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the lobby bar, or you can ask the housekeeper to help deliver it to your room. Looking at the beautiful night scene outside the window and sharing a total of 7 desserts for two with your lover, it was even more surprising than expected to enjoy them in the afternoon, and you can enjoy your exclusive time more freely. This is also a big egg given by the hotel to its guests in addition to the night view!

In addition, if guests arrive late at night, the hotel's Linjiangge Restaurant also provides free "Late Night Bowl of Noodles" service from 23:00. Hot noodles are the most soothing thing for those who are busy and tired.

I really want to ask the hotel: How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?
