IHG | The first article, written for my hometown
|The first article is written for my hometown. INTERCONTINENTAL
Taking advantage of the free time before the May Day holiday, I went to experience the world's tallest INTERCONTINENTAL® - Nanjing Zifeng InterContinental Hotel with my parents.
As a Nanjing native, I have feelings for the Jinling Hotel as well as the Zifeng Tower. After all, it is the tallest building in Jiangsu. After all, the Zifeng can be seen from most places in the city. After all, as long as I can see the Zifeng, I feel that I am not far from home. At that time, I didn’t understand what an owner and an operator were, and my concept of InterContinental Hotel was just a hotel in the Zifeng Building.
IHG One RewardsD card, strictly upgraded to one level, double room with lake view on the 62nd floor, three breakfasts and three lounges (lounge and breakfast will be discussed separately later), welcome fruit.
The lake view is what I want. Although it is not directly facing Xuanwu Lake, it is the city view + lake view + garden view + mountain view + temple view that I want. As the mist in the sky gradually dissipates, standing on the skyline of Jinling City and looking into the distance, you can see a thousand-year-old temple built in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty, hidden in the city, on the hill on the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain. As the saying goes, to leave the world is to enter the world, and to enter the world is also to leave the world.

The hotel is strategically located and is easily accessible by car, bus or subway. A few kilometers to the south is Xinjiekou, a few kilometers to the north is Xuanwu Lake on Hunan Road, to the east is Zhongshan Scenic Area, and to the west is Hexi CBD.

The first floor lobby is simple, grand and elegant, and never goes out of style. I walked back and forth several times, and when I looked up inadvertently, I saw a huge door curtain hanging at the elevator door, which instantly brightened my eyes.
CI is on the first floor. Take the elevator to the 45th floor and then change to the elevator to go to the guest rooms. P78
Lobby bar and breakfast restaurant (buffet dinner restaurant) on the 45th floor P10D17 guest rooms
Although it is an old hotel and the maintenance is not very careful, there are still many small facilities with a sense of age that make me feel interesting and novel. This feeling of joy is an experience that many so-called modern smart hotels with "model room decoration style" cannot give. For example, the doorbell, various switches in the room, Japanese Sansui audio, small round hole windows, and faucets in public toilets, etc.
1 The overall experience is great, clean and sanitary, and the service is online. The swimming pool and gym were not used. It is best to check in on a sunny day, the view is unbeatable. My luck was pretty good. It was cloudy and foggy during CI, and the fog gradually dissipated during CO.
