Stroll along the Qing River and immerse yourself in the historical charm and natural beauty of Nanjing. This river has witnessed the city's transformation and is a popular spot for locals to unwind. The tree-lined banks are perfect for walking or cycling, and the sparkling lights at night create a magical atmosphere. Whether you're sightseeing or taking photos, this is the ideal destination.
We recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Nanjing Aqua City during a family trip to Nanjing, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable—right inside the Aqua City shopping complex, so we never had to step outside even when it was raining. We enjoyed dining, shopping, and catching a movie all in one place without needing to go out. Just a 5-10 minute walk to the heart of the Confucius Temple area, which made evening strolls along the Qinhuai River and exploring Old Men Dong incredibly convenient.
Despite being in the bustling tourist district, the hotel did an excellent job with soundproofing. Once the windows were closed, the room was completely quiet—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. It felt like a peaceful retreat right in the middle of the city.
Our family room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of room for both adults and kids. The bedding was comfortable—just the right firmness for a good night’s rest. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided stunning views of the city skyline, making every morning feel special. The bathroom was thoughtfully laid out with a dry/wet separation, hot water flowed strong, and all amenities were fresh and well-stocked. Everything was clean, modern, and meticulously maintained.
From start to finish, the service was friendly and efficient, and the overall experience was outstanding. For families looking for comfort, convenience, and quality in a vibrant yet peaceful setting, this hotel is a top choice. I’d definitely stay here again—and highly recommend it.

Holiday Inn Nanjing Xuanwu Lake
Checked in the afternoon and was warmly welcomed by Wang Chaofan at reception—he went above and beyond to upgrade us to a lake-view room as requested. The room was spotless, well-equipped, and even featured a private balcony overlooking Xuanwu Lake. Waking up to misty morning views of the lake felt like stepping into a painting—serene, peaceful, and truly memorable.
We stopped by the trendy Double Track Coffee nearby and enjoyed a cup of Moon Coffee. It was the perfect spot for a cozy moment with my partner—great vibes and great photos!
The hotel’s proximity to the metro made exploring the city effortless. We walked to Old Gate East, Confucius Temple, and the Qinhuai Lantern Festival under light rain—strolling through ancient alleys felt magical and so relaxing.
On our second day, after checking out, we stored our luggage and visited Chicken Bell Temple. A simple bowl of vegetarian noodles and three incense sticks brought a deep sense of calm and spiritual connection to this historic site.
Before heading back home by high-speed train, we returned to the hotel to collect our bags and rested briefly at the lobby bar. The staff there were friendly and attentive—such a warm way to end our trip.
Nanjing exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be back!

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. The team even remembered my reservation for the buffet and had a birthday cake ready, which was such a thoughtful touch. 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.

I chose the Nanjing Jinling Hotel specifically because it was my birthday, and I wanted to treat myself to something special.

I stayed at The Grand Mansion Hotel during the Christmas Eve of 2019 and decided to return for my latest trip to Nanjing—no regrets at all. This time, I upgraded to a garden-view suite, which was absolutely serene and beautifully appointed. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with fresh welcome fruits and the signature afternoon tea, both of which were delightful. Even better, the hotel included complimentary tickets to the nearby Six Dynasties Museum—a thoughtful touch that made exploring the city even more enjoyable. The location is excellent—central, walkable to major attractions, and just a short metro ride from everything. My stay was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. A special thank you to Cloris Li at check-out: her warm, friendly service stood out, and she even gifted us a cute Nanjing-themed maple leaf souvenir. It’s such a sweet little memory from our trip. Truly a top-tier experience—I’d recommend this hotel without hesitation.
