A Business Trip to Nantong: The Urban Habitat Aesthetics of Holiday Inn Nantong Oasis International

I took a bullet train from Nanjing Railway Station and arrived at Nantong Railway Station in just over two hours. As a business traveler who frequently travels between Nanjing and Nantong, I chose to stay at Holiday Inn Nantong Oasis International this time and unexpectedly gained an efficient and comfortable business travel experience. The hotel is located in the core area of Beida Street, Chongchuan District, only a 5-minute drive from Nantong Railway Station. The urban skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling windows confirms the wisdom of the location - a 5-minute walk to Nantong's largest complex, MixC, and only 5 km from Nantong Haohe Scenic Area. For business travelers, this location is perfect as it is "close to the business district and within walking distance of the living area." This time, I stayed in an executive room on the 26th floor, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows framed the city scenery into a dynamic ink painting. The intelligent control system allowed me to adjust the lights at the entrance. The combination of TOTO brand bathroom and Sealy mattress cleverly balanced the sense of ritual of business travel and the relaxation of home. I especially appreciated the desk configured by the window, where I could see the flowing city lights when I looked up while processing documents. After the afternoon meeting, I went straight to the fitness center on the fourth floor. The 28°C constant temperature swimming pool was filled with water vapor, and the three-lane design allowed the exercise rhythm to be relaxed and stretched. The equipment area is equipped with a full set of American Life Fitness equipment with an intelligent sensing system. The 20-minute aerobic exercise on the elliptical machine, watching the city lights gradually light up outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, gave me a bit of a vacation illusion. The real climax came from the feast in the twilight. The island of the all-day dining Western buffet dinner extended into a 20-meter-long corridor of taste, with unlimited oysters exuding the aroma of sea salt, and local specialty red-roe crabs and Lyusi pomfret complementing each other. The pastry chef said that the cakes on site were carefully made that day, and with a variety of buffet hot pot, the business dinner was sublimated into a journey of taste exploration. When I checked out in the morning, the concierge had already called a special car to Nantong Railway Station in advance. Every link in this business trip accurately meets the dual demands of business people for efficiency and quality. Perhaps next time I should stay for another half day to experience the Haohe cultural tour launched by the hotel - after all, in Holiday Inn Oasis International, the boundary between business and leisure can be so elegantly integrated. [Postscript] For short-distance business trips in the Yangtze River Delta, the combination of high-speed rail + high-end business hotels is becoming a new trend. Holiday Inn Oasis International, with its transportation advantages and complete business ecosystem, appropriately interprets the aesthetics of modern business travel.
