Summer vacation in Nanjing|You really can go for Shangri-La Nanjing

This time, I came to Nanjing for a vacation with my parents and kids and stayed at Shangri-La Nanjing. In the 38-degree outdoor weather, I think the reason the whole trip felt very comfortable was because we chose the right hotel, after all, we did our research. The cost performance is super high, the location is great, and it's convenient to go anywhere. . We booked a family suite, with two rooms separated by a living room, and an independent kitchen, which is very friendly for the elderly. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a full view of Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain. You must go for the Horizon Club room type because it includes exclusive Horizon Club lounge services and privileges on the 40th floor, with breakfast, afternoon tea, happy hour, and light dinner. It basically covers all your meals for the day. . Shangri-La Nanjing is the hotel closest to Xuanwu Lake, about a 5-minute walk, and it’s also close to every attraction, with the farthest being about a 30-minute taxi ride. Another reason for choosing this hotel was to let my parents try top-level Huaiyang cuisine. Its Jiangnan Zao Chinese restaurant is the only Black Pearl two-diamond restaurant in Nanjing, which requires advance reservation. Even on non-working day lunches, it feels fully booked, but for cost performance, I recommend the Coffee Xuan buffet dinner more. They have set meals for one adult and one child, and the price is very reasonable. It’s basically an unlimited crayfish feast with lamb chops, salmon, and kebabs—feel free to enjoy. . Hotel guests can also visit the 46th-floor rooftop helipad, a popular photo spot, for free. On one side is Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain, and on the other is Zifeng Tower. The hotel also has an outdoor garden of about 200 square meters, perfect for kids, with a rockery and pond. When it gets hot, just come back quickly. The Jiangnan Zao Yunfu on the 42nd floor is so beautiful. While we were taking photos, the staff always smiled sincerely and helped at just the right moments, giving a feeling of meticulous care without disturbance. It was really comfortable! Truly the professional demeanor of a long-established five-star hotel!
