[2025 Nanjing Stay] Travel Guide for UrCove by Hyatt Nanjing Zhongshan Mountain National Park (Updated Apr)

This hotel gives off a "don't mess with me" vibe. Taking a taxi in requires scrutiny and registration by the gatekeeper. Similar to the Beijing Sanlitun Hyatt Place, it's located within a heritage conservation area. At first glance, the building's exterior doesn't exactly scream "hotel." The courtyard houses three Republican-era buildings, each a blend of Chinese and Western styles, featuring a hip-and-gable roof and attached pavilions. These officially designated heritage structures, with their simple and dignified design, are arranged around a central garden in a triangular formation. One building serves as the reception lobby and public area, while the other two have been converted into guest rooms, accessible only with a key card. The Globalist benefits were underwhelming, limited to free breakfast and a one-level room upgrade. Due to the renovation of these old buildings and the reconfiguration of the interior spaces, the original layout has resulted in more than a dozen different room types, each with only minor variations. However, they are generally compact and cramped, with windowless bathrooms and no bathtubs. Initially, I was assigned a room in a corner of the second building. The window overlooked a dense canopy of trees, and the bedding was slightly damp. I later switched to a sunny garden-view room on the first floor of the third building. While the view wasn't as impressive, the room was comfortably dry and considerably more spacious. The interior decor followed the typical Hyatt Place aesthetic. However, despite being a double room, there was only one chair and no other seating, which was puzzling. The next morning brought a drop in temperature and rain. Umbrellas were available in the lobby, but the walk to the first building in the cold rain was still challenging. Perhaps a covered walkway should be considered. The breakfast, unfortunately, didn't quite live up to the elegant interior decor. It was limited in both scale and variety, creating a strange dissonance, like enjoying a crumbly pastry in the Palace of Versailles. That said, the hotel's prime location, nestled against Zhongshan Mountain, makes it ideal for first-time visitors to Nanjing. The entrance to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and Meiling Palace is a short walk away, as is the Nanjing Museum. Slightly further afield are the Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum and Linggu Temple. Finally, the hotel's public areas and courtyard are undeniably beautiful. If it weren't for the self-service laundry tucked away in a corner, I would have almost forgotten that this is essentially a budget hotel. It perfectly aligns with my personal aesthetic, from its location to its decor, both unique and unconventional. Having just opened at the end of last year, everything is still brand new, making it well worth a try.

A hidden gem in the Zhongshan Scenic Area✨ I recently went to Nanjing and stayed at a great hotel - the Hyatt Place Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area. I have to share it with you!

The smart speaker, smart toilet, fresh air system, and verbena bath products in the room all reveal quality in every detail.

Architecture is solidified history and a microcosm of the times. Mr. Liang Sicheng once said, "Every culture in history has produced its own architecture." Nanjing is known as the "home of Republic of China architecture." These buildings are not only the cultural context of Nanjing, but also the nostalgia of Nanjing people. Only by protecting and making good use of these old buildings can we preserve the history and culture of the city. This was once the site of the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Art Troupe and the former site of the National Revolutionary Army School for the Children of Martyrs Time has not erased their past These old buildings have been renovated and refurbished and have become the UrCove Hotel (Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area) This is not just a simple accommodation experience but a wonderful journey of cultural and artistic fusion ✔️The hotel retains the original rustic and elegant charm of the building, while adding a modern and stylish design. The public areas are full of artworks, exuding a low-key and elegant feeling. The sense of age and weight is even more diffused in the courtyard, and the products of time make people feel happy and respectful. ✔️The rooms are named after the plays (operas, dances, dramas, movies, TV series) produced by the Frontline Art Troupe, which is very interesting. Entering the room, you will find a delicate and elegant art space, a collision of design and history. The bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas, with verbena-scented toiletries, a Dyson hairdryer, and comfortable bathrobes, towels, and slippers. The courtyard room is filled with sunlight and the shadows of trees. You can make a cup of tea, read a book, or just relax in the courtyard. The light and shadow here are soft and layered, especially healing in winter. ✔️The breakfast includes Nanjing's famous duck blood vermicelli soup, which is worth trying. You can also have a cup of coffee ☕️, made with coffee beans from the Peet's Coffee brand, which is rich and mellow! ✔️The gym and laundry room are also fully equipped, and there is a UrCove Space next to the lobby, which is convenient for business travelers. ✔️Walking in the hotel courtyard, I felt the warmth of time, so real and yet so distant... I couldn't help but take pictures of every detail 🖼️. ✔️From the hotel, you can easily reach famous attractions such as the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanjing. 💓The hotel design uses the architectural language of the Republic of China to tell a modern story, which is immersive. I especially like this kind of hotel, where every building has its own story and every window frames a picture. We should thank the investors and operators for preserving these remaining historical buildings and taking good care of them. This is a meaningful thing in itself. If you are also looking forward to such a unique accommodation experience, add it to your wish list now!
