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.

Nanjing Grand Hotel

Staying at Nanjing Grand Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. Though it's a well-established five-star property, the rooms feel fresh and timeless—elegant without being flashy, perfectly reflecting the city’s refined character. 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.

Shangri-La Nanjing

Every time I visit Nanjing, I make sure to stay at Shangri-La—it’s simply my go-to. This trip was for a friend’s birthday, and we took the chance to explore the stunning maple leaves at Qixia Mountain, golden ginkgo trees by Xuanwu Lake, Yanyue Lake, Stone Elephant Road, and the famous plane tree avenue. Perfect timing, perfect weather, and perfect vibes! The room arranged by Manager Dong was exceptional—comfortable, elegant, and thoughtfully prepared. Dining at Jiangnan Zao was a highlight: the ingredients were fresh and top-notch. The pickled turnip with preserved vegetables was surprisingly delicious, the fish head incredibly fresh, and the sweet-and-sour ribs? Absolutely unforgettable. My friend devoured the stir-fried beef in no time—proof it was a hit! Bonus: guests staying at the hotel can enjoy complimentary room service from Jiangnan Zao—even if you’re not on the waitlist. Plus, the Christmas decorations were beautifully done, adding a magical touch to the entire stay. Honestly, I’m already planning my next visit—Shangri-La truly wins my heart every time.

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. 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.

I chose the Nanjing Jinling Hotel specifically because it was my birthday, and I wanted to treat myself to something special. As a long-standing five-star hotel in the heart of Nanjing, its location is unbeatable—right next to Xinxijie Station, just a 5-minute walk away. The area is bustling with shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment options, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Even though the hotel has some history, the facilities are well-maintained and the overall atmosphere feels clean and elegant. My room was spotless, no strange odors, and the soundproofing worked great—perfect for a good night’s sleep. But what really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff at the front desk were incredibly attentive, anticipating needs before I even asked. On my birthday, they surprised me with a little cake delivered to my room—such a thoughtful touch! It made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. Truly a hotel that goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be back.

The Grand Mansion Hotel, Nanjing

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.
