【Stay in an Art Gallery | A Healing Retreat by Changde Riverside Street

In Changde, if you're seeking a haven that offers "urban vibrancy outside and serene tranquility within," Lakeside Hotel Li Gao 1919 is the perfect answer. The hotel's standalone villa design resembles an art gallery: the lofty lobby features antique gramophones harmonizing with abstract oil paintings, while warm yellow wall lamps along the spiral staircase cast shadows like a hazy poem. The spacious rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, offering glimpses of the lake. The carpet and lounge chair by the window are ideal for curling up with a book, accompanied by complimentary sparkling water from the minibar—a perfect way to while away the afternoon. If you prefer to stay in, the butler will thoughtfully deliver afternoon tea: velvety tiramisu, aromatic pour-over coffee, and two delicate macarons, striking just the right note of sweetness. In the evening, take a stroll along the riverside street or board a cruise to admire the twinkling lights along both banks of the Chuanzi River. Upon returning, your laundry will be freshly dried and ready—every travel hassle is gently resolved here.
