Grand WUJI Hotel, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Staying at this urban oasis was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The Japanese-inspired design is both calming and sophisticated, creating a serene retreat right in the heart of Nanjing. The staff were incredibly welcoming—especially the front desk supervisor who went above and beyond to explain the hotel’s unique features and atmosphere, helping me truly appreciate what makes this place special. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a Signature Suite, which offered generous space and a private lounge where I enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea. The floor-to-ceiling windows opened up to a lush central lawn, and on that particular day, a couple was filming their wedding photos there—adding a magical touch to the already picturesque view. Breakfast was a highlight: spacious dining area with a wide variety of fresh options. The freshly cooked congee stood out—served with care by a passionate chef who took time to explain each ingredient. Don’t miss it! While the amenities are top-notch, what truly sets this hotel apart is the genuine warmth and professionalism of the team. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat.

The room itself was spacious, clean, and equipped with everything I needed, from plush bedding to modern amenities. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Every staff member—from check-in to housekeeping to breakfast attendants—was warm, professional, and attentive. The breakfast spread was impressive: diverse, freshly prepared, and delicious. It’s rare to find such consistent quality across all aspects of a stay. If I’m ever back in Nanjing, this will be my first choice again. A truly memorable experience.

InterContinental Nanjing

I’ve been returning to InterContinental Nanjing every year for the past three years, and this visit was especially memorable—my birthday on November 16th. From the moment I checked in at the executive lounge, the warm welcome from the staff made me feel truly special.

Upon entering my luxurious lakeside room, I was completely surprised by the towel art shaped into a two-tier birthday cake—it was absolutely magical. Then, just as I was soaking in the moment, the doorbell rang again: another delightful surprise from the housekeeping team with a mini birthday cake and a beautifully crafted card. It’s these little details that show how deeply the hotel values guest experience. The bedding remained as soft and comfortable as ever, and the service was prompt and attentive throughout. Dining options were exceptional—every meal felt like a celebration. This short stay turned out to be one of the most unforgettable birthdays I’ve ever had. InterContinental Nanjing isn’t just a hotel; it feels like home. Thank you to everyone who made my day so special.
