[2025 Yibin Stay] Travel Guide for Hualuxe Yibin, An IHG Hotel (Updated Jan)

Yibin, Sichuan is a hotel desert. In a city where even the Marriott Group has no presence, the HUALUXE Hotel under IHG is a real gem! HUALUXE and Holiday Inn Express are both located in the same building, with HUALUXE on the upper floors and Holiday Inn Express on the lower floors. The hotel is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Min River, in a great location. The night before check-in, I informed the manager that I was bringing my mom for a staycation, and they upgraded both rooms to a Half Mountain River View Suite and a Full Yangtze River View Room. I really have to give HUALUXE a thumbs up for their service! Diamond members have a dedicated check-in area with seating, and the staff wear cheongsams, which is fitting for a brand that IHG has set up exclusively in Greater China. [🛏️Rooms] The suite is very spacious, and the 270-degree curved floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom are truly eye-catching, offering panoramic views of the Yangtze River and the Cuiping Mountain on the other side. The HUALUXE branded tea in the minibar is also better than most major hotels' SWT. The separate bathroom with a bathtub 🛁 faces the Min River, allowing you to enjoy a bath while taking in the stunning river view. [🍰Lounge] The IHG lounge is as quiet as ever, with only one or two guests in the large lounge, which is much better than the Marriott market. The lounge staff will proactively offer afternoon tea sets, and the quality of the desserts is very good. [🍳Breakfast] The breakfast at HUALUXE Yibin is the most impressive part of my stay, with a variety of baked goods and European breakfast options, Sichuan stir-fried dishes, special ice powder and cold shrimp, and the most signature Yibin burning noodles. Isn't it worth coming to Yibin just for these burning noodles? Highly recommend this HUALUXE for a trip to Yibin, and if you communicate with the front desk, they will usually upgrade the basic room to a river view room.

Yibin Hualuxe Hotel Location: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hualuxe Hotel and Holiday Inn Express are very close to each other. They are located in Sanjiang New District, separated from the old town by a bridge. The surroundings are very quiet. As the area is relatively new, there are many buildings under construction, so there is not much hustle and bustle. However, there are many delicious foods in the old town. Driving here is a good choice, as parking is very convenient. There are also charging piles next to the hotel. Cleanliness: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Very clean. I didn't find any obvious hygiene issues. The hotel called me a day in advance to ask about my room preferences, and I specifically asked for a clean and tidy room. View: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The room has a view of the big globe, but unfortunately, it wasn't lit up during my stay. When the sunlight comes in during the day, the whole room is very bright and spacious. Yibin's night view is not as bright as Chongqing's. It's a quiet and livable city. Other small experiences (I didn't try the breakfast, so I won't comment on it for now) 1. The mini bar is empty, which is something I rarely encounter. In the hotels I've stayed at before, there are usually items in the mini fridge, whether they are free or not. This hotel has a separate minibar menu, which is also nice, as you can chill your own drinks.🥤 2. The toilet flush button, the tiles under the bathtub, and the bathroom door all have room for improvement and need further maintenance. The tiles under the bathtub will automatically open if there is no dirty clothes basket blocking them. The bathroom door cannot be closed, probably because the seal has worn out from frequent use. The glue on the toilet flush button needs to be strengthened. 3. The welcome fruits are quite special. The oranges feel like they were just picked from the tree, with a hint of greenness, which is very refreshing. The grapes are plain, without a sweet and sour taste, which is unique. There are also peaches and pears, which are very distinctive and offer a different experience. Although they are not the usual fruit flavors, they are a novel attempt. Overall, this hotel has outstanding advantages and is a cost-effective choice in Yibin. The hotel seems to be doing very well during the recent battery conference. The rooms are elegant, fresh, clean, and tidy. Highly recommended!!! Also, club members don't get drink vouchers at this hotel.
