A Retro Film Set, a Place of Historical Significance, a Dream Back to Jinling's Night

Built in 1912, this Republican-era building was once Nanjing's most luxurious hotel, witnessing the comings and goings of countless historical figures. Today, after meticulous renovations, it has been revitalized, becoming a unique luxury hotel in Nanjing. The hotel's exterior retains the style of the Republican period, with its blue bricks, gray tiles, and arched doors and windows, all showcasing a sense of history. Stepping into the lobby, the high-vaulted dome, retro crystal chandeliers, and vintage gramophone all speak to the prosperity of the past. I checked in to the Yangtze River Suite. The spacious room, exquisite decoration, and modern facilities all exude luxury and comfort. The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the Yangtze River. At night, as the lights come on, the river view and the city nightscape complement each other, creating a breathtaking scene. The bathroom is equipped with a luxurious bathtub and a separate shower room, and the toiletries are all top brands, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. The hotel's Chinese restaurant, "Yi He Gong Guan," specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, prepared by Michelin-starred chefs, perfectly combining the essence of traditional Huaiyang cuisine with modern culinary techniques. I tasted the signature dish "Lion's Head," which was tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and unforgettable. The Western restaurant, "Yangtze Coffee Shop," offers exquisite Western dishes, and the breakfast buffet has a wide variety to satisfy the needs of different guests. The hotel is equipped with comprehensive leisure and entertainment facilities, including a gym, indoor swimming pool, and spa. I experienced the hotel's spa, where the therapists were professional and attentive, providing a relaxing experience. In addition, the hotel also offers thoughtful butler service to meet the various needs of guests. The Yihe Mansions Hotel is located in the heart of Nanjing, close to many attractions. Famous scenic spots such as Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River, and the Presidential Palace are within walking distance. I strolled along the Qinhuai River, experiencing the history and culture of Nanjing, as if I were in a moving painting.
