In-depth experience of the Centennial Qilou Hotel, a living museum of Chaozhou culture

In-depth experience guide of Chaozhou Yingzhou Hotel: the perfect blend of design aesthetics, service warmth and smart guest rooms [Design: The collision of Lingnan style and modern luxury] Yingzhou Hotel has evolved from a century-old arcade. The design team has retained the architectural skeleton with the ingenuity of "repairing the old as it is" - the carved brick walls, arched corridors and Baroque columns tell the past of the hometown of overseas Chinese, while the interior space is infused with contemporary minimalist aesthetics. The giant Chaozhou embroidery screen hanging in the center of the lobby was embroidered by the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage for eight months. The "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" picture outlined by gold thread is lifelike in the light and shadow filtered by the Manchu window. The guest room area adopts the "one room, one view" design. The basic room type is equipped with a 4.8-meter high ceiling. The old flower tiles and walnut finishes create a retro tone, while the smart guest control system, Dyson hair dryer and Hansgrohe shower system quietly highlight modern luxury. It is recommended to book the "Yingzhou Suite", with an independent reception area and a viewing balcony that overlooks the ancient city skyline. When night falls, the swallowtail ridge building complex looks like a paper-cut painting in the light. [Service: A delicate interpretation of Chaozhou hospitality] From the moment you step into the bronze gate, waiters in Xiangyunsha uniforms will serve Gongfu tea and Laoxianghuang (one of the three treasures of Chaozhou). The hotel's original "Cultural Butler" service can customize the intangible cultural heritage experience route - from hand-pulled pot making to gold lacquer wood carving workshops, the butler will accompany you throughout the whole process. The "Chaoyun Time" at 17:00 every day is a hidden easter egg: the lobby bar provides free Chaozhou snacks, and the resident musicians perform classic Chaozhou opera excerpts with dulcimer. The room service is also full of ingenuity. In addition to regular drinks, the mini bar also has Phoenix Dancong tea bags, the washroom area is equipped with herbal washing and care series, and the shower room and Japanese TOTO smart toilet seat are particularly considerate in the humid season. The most amazing detail is the "viewing three-piece set" on the balcony: a rosewood tea table, a Chaozhou hand-pulled kettle and Chaozhou tea, allowing guests to have a private tea party at any time. Check-in tips: 1. Call the hotel in advance to reserve a high-floor room with a great view 2. The rooftop "Yingzhou Yaji" is open daily for a limited time and requires an appointment, which is suitable for taking panoramic photos of the Guangji Bridge Yingzhou Hotel perfectly balances the richness of Chaozhou culture with the comfort of contemporary travel, and is the first choice for culture lovers and quality seekers on their Chaozhou trip. #Sign up for tripbestJuly Hotel Test Sleeper
