During the epidemic, although many cities have gradually returned to normal life, we still cannot relax. However, Beijing is now even stricter. As a metropolis and economic and cultural center, the capital has seen a surge in people returning to the city, which has restored its former bustle while also exacerbating some risks.

Many friends have asked me where to live in Beijing, whether for business or other reasons. This time, I'd like to take you on a journey through the Jianguo Platinum Hotel and experience it from all angles. I'm sure you'll have your own opinions and perspectives after your experience. This hotel boasts a prime location within Beijing's China World Trade Center, and the surrounding amenities and services are self-evident. We drove there, and upon parking, attentive staff members provided guidance. We parked in the hotel's dedicated parking lot, and everything felt so natural. Such smooth and organized guidance in such a prime location like China World Trade Center is truly rare. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with China World Trade Center can appreciate its bustling and vibrant atmosphere. Upon entering the hotel lobby, I was immediately greeted by staff wearing protective gear like goggles. Various screening equipment was also in place to ensure the safety of every guest. I believe such precautions are essential during this challenging time, and they also provide peace of mind for every guest. After speaking with the staff, I learned that not only that, but all rooms are individually air-conditioned to prevent infection. Public areas are also disinfected every two hours. This comprehensive protection makes me feel very reassured, and it also reflects a responsible attitude towards guests and staff.

After checking in, we went to our room. It's worth mentioning that we were accompanied and guided throughout the entire process, which was very thoughtful. We no longer had to worry about finding our room or getting lost, which saved us a lot of time. No need to worry about even the largest suitcases, as the hotel provides luggage storage service. Arriving at the room, I, who likes the characteristics of old Beijing, felt very warm. The special food and beverages at the bedside were representative of old Beijing, as well as warm greeting cards and bright flowers.

In a location as expensive as Guomao, it's truly rare to find such a spacious room. And even office workers on business trips don't have to worry, as the room comes with a dedicated desk. The sofa can be used as both a desk chair and a recliner, which I absolutely love. It saves space and has a very artistic design. I also love the mini bar in the room, which provides a variety of drinks, so I don't have to go out to buy them.

At first glance, it's clear this is meticulously designed and arranged, not haphazardly placed. Every detail exudes thoughtful attention and design.

When business people are working, you'll find that area surprisingly quiet. It's as if the space becomes a workspace when they're working. It's tempting to just rush in with your laptop and work together, which is incredibly efficient. Afterwards, a burst of joyful laughter reached our ears. In the middle of the lobby, a few friends were playing a mini-game, their heads adorned with various game props. They were laughing and then lost in thought, trying to find the final answer. It seems like this could be a good place for a little team-building activity. Seeing this kind of scene, even if you're not participating, is still enjoyable. My friend saw a bar and loved the beautiful cocktails. Even though she couldn't drink because she was driving, just watching them was enjoyable. Since she couldn't, I decided to do it for her. The bartender was amazing at making cocktails, and the whole process was spotless. I've always thought women who can make cocktails are cool, and sure enough, that was proven true. When you see the colorful cocktails, taking photos is a must. In fact, we started taking photos not only at the cocktail bar, but also in the lobby. It was so beautiful that we spent several hours taking photos in the lobby. We took them not only as souvenirs, but also as a set of photos of our daily life.

Some friends who come to hotels say they generally don't stay very long, just staying overnight. But when they come to this hotel, everything changes completely. How did we become hotel-goers? Haha, none of this matters anymore. What matters is that I had a great time with my friends.

If you ask me which hotel I recommend for people visiting Beijing right now, I think my friends will know even without me saying it. So just follow my lead and enjoy a perfect hotel stay.
