In this ancient capital of six dynasties, choosing the right hotel can truly elevate your entire travel experience ✨ Here are some high-quality hotels I've personally tried, ranging from Republic-era charm to modern skyscrapers - there's something for everyone!
🏨【The Yihe Mansions Nanjing】
A hidden gem nestled among Republic-era architecture, each villa is a protected historical building! Step outside to find yourself on sycamore-lined boulevards, just 10 minutes' walk to the 1912 district. Rooms come with Hermès amenities and ultra-thoughtful butler service. Best part: Their Chinese-Western breakfast can be delivered to your room - enjoying it on the balcony is pure ceremony!
🏨【Jumeirah Nanjing】
A cloud-level hotel in the twin towers! The 65th-floor lobby offers panoramic Yangtze River views, and the bathtub by floor-to-ceiling windows provides unobstructed river scenery. Super central location with IFC mall downstairs and just 15 minutes' walk to Confucius Temple. Must-try: Their Jiangzhe cuisine restaurant's steamed egg with snow crab is divine!
🏨【Kayumanis Nanjing Private Villa & Spa】
Private villas with personal hot spring pools! Located in Tangshan hot spring area, each villa has its own courtyard and dedicated butler. Just 40 minutes' drive from downtown, perfect for weekend staycations. Soaking in hot springs while admiring maple leaves is incredibly therapeutic - even the welcome fruit includes chocolates shaped like Nanjing's famous salted duck!
🏨【The Ritz-Carlton Nanjing】
A landmark hotel in Xinjiekou with a breathtaking 58th-floor lobby! Rooms come standard with Dyson hair dryers and night-view bathtubs, while the executive lounge offers full views of Purple Mountain. Unbeatable location directly connected to Deji Plaza - you'll shop for luxury goods until your legs give out. Pro tip: The bathroom lighting is perfect for selfies!
💡Booking tips:
• Weekend rates are typically 30% higher than weekdays - try to visit off-peak
• Some hotels offer pickup services - inquire when booking
• Autumn and winter are Nanjing's most beautiful seasons - book 1-2 months in advance
• First-time visitors should choose hotels along subway lines (Lines 1/2/3 are all convenient)
Don't leave Nanjing without trying duck blood vermicelli soup and salted duck! The Qinhuai River night cruise is also a must-experience~
