An Immersive Getaway in Guilin: A Stay at Guilin Jingxiang Hotel

During my recent trip to Guilin, I chose to stay at Guilin Jingxiang Hotel (Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, Two Rivers and Four Lakes Branch). My experience was so amazing that I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone. As soon as I arrived, I could feel the hotel's prime location. It's situated in the heart of the city on Binjiang Road, right on the banks of the Li River, and just a stone's throw away from Guilin's iconic Elephant Trunk Hill. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful during check-in, warmly introducing me to the hotel's facilities and nearby attractions. I booked a Li River panoramic view room, and the view was absolutely stunning. As soon as I opened the curtains, the beauty of Elephant Trunk Hill and the Li River filled the room. It truly felt like I had a "window to Elephant Trunk Hill and a door to the Li River." The room's decor was a blend of understated luxury and oriental style, preserving elements of local traditional residences while incorporating a modern touch, creating a charming ambiance. The facilities were also brand new. The Kingkoil mattress from the Sweet Dreams series, combined with 80-count high-density cotton fabrics, made sleeping at night feel like floating on clouds. The mini-bar was stocked with local specialties such as osmanthus cake and monk fruit drinks, showing great attention to detail. Be sure to visit the "Alice Restaurant" on the seventh floor! The 270° unobstructed terrace is like an "aerial viewing platform of the city emblem." Dining here while savoring exquisite Western cuisine and local specialties made with seasonal ingredients selected by the chef, all while enjoying a panoramic view of Elephant Trunk Hill, is simply delightful. I also tried their Elephant Trunk Hill afternoon tea. The desserts were shaped like Elephant Trunk Hill, and the coffee art featured Li River ripples. It was both beautiful and delicious, providing a double treat for the taste buds and the eyes. The hotel's amenities are also comprehensive, including a gym, KTV, and a chess and card room. If you're traveling with children, the family rooms have children's toiletries, cartoon bedding, and elephant-themed toys and picture books that kids will surely love. Moreover, the hotel's service is impeccable, from 24-hour room service to a cup of warm or cool welcome tea, to handwritten notes from the room butler. Every detail makes you feel especially warm and cared for. My stay at Guilin Jingxiang Hotel made my trip to Guilin even more perfect. Whether it's the location, environment, service, or dining, everything was impeccable. If you're planning a trip to Guilin, I highly recommend this hotel!
