Hotels With Gym in Jiangsu, China

Stayed at Pan Pacific Suzhou and had a really pleasant experience overall. The room was very spacious and comfortable, which made the stay extra relaxing. One of the highlights was the perks that come with being an in-house guest—there are quite a number of privileges that make the stay feel more worthwhile and enjoyable. The hotel itself has a beautiful, serene atmosphere, perfect for a quiet getaway while still being in the city. If there’s one downside, it would be the location in terms of convenience to public transport. Although it’s mentioned to be near train stations, the walk to the nearest ones is actually a bit further than expected, especially if you’re carrying luggage or travelling in the heat. Also, for older guests, it may be a good idea to request a room closer to the main lobby, as the property is quite large and distances within the hotel can be a bit of a walk. Overall, still a lovely stay and would recommend for those who value space, comfort, and a more tranquil environment.

🌸 A sunny March is the perfect time for flower viewing. Carrying a slight regret from our last trip and a lingering fondness for Nanxiang, we embarked on this Nanjing journey, with the Nanjing Shangri-La, of course, as our first stop. 1. **Location**: The hotel's location is superb, right next to Xinmofan Road Metro Station, making it incredibly convenient to reach all major attractions. It's also very close to Xuanwu Lake, just a few minutes' walk away. Strolling along the lake, with willows swaying and flowers vying for attention – the dazzling tulips, the blooming crabapples (some green, some red), and especially that expansive cherry blossom grove. From a distance, it looked like a pink mist. A gentle spring breeze would bring a shower of cherry blossoms, petals fluttering down and scattering, softly carpeting the earth in pink. The peach blossoms were not to be outdone, white, pink, and crimson, blooming profusely on the branches, attracting countless busy little bees and adding vibrant color to the lakeside spring. 2. **Room**: We stayed in a lake-view suite again this time, and I'm grateful to the Horizon Club staff for arranging a high-floor room. The room was clean, tidy, spacious, and bright, with a large living room and bedroom. The floor-to-ceiling window offered a side view of Xuanwu Lake, which was a slight pity. There was no separate walk-in closet, the luggage rack was rather high and narrow, and the bathroom toilet wasn't smart and wasn't separated, all indicating the hotel's age. However, the room service was commendable. They were always responsive, not only providing a luggage rack and a drying pole but also bringing a pot of orchids, which added color to the room. When we mentioned that the welcome dessert wasn't very good, they immediately replaced it with cherry blossom cupcakes and chocolates the next day, which was very thoughtful. 3. **Dining**: The hotel's 'Jiangnan Wok' restaurant specializes in Huaiyang cuisine and is a Black Pearl two-diamond establishment. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance, and the waitstaff are all polite. The 'Clear Broth Lion's Head' was fragrant, soft, and melted in the mouth, while the 'Huaiyang Soft Wok Eel' was silky smooth and tender, our absolute favorite. The unexpected surprise was the 'Stir-fried Beef with Brisket Fat' – the beef was tender and aromatic, with excellent wok hei. Being spice lovers, we also ordered the 'Jiangnan Wok Maoxuewang,' which was also excellent. The large chunks of eel and generous shrimp balls showed no skimping on ingredients, and the flavor definitely rivaled external Sichuan and Hunan restaurants. Personally, I found the pan-fried buns just okay. The 'Xiao Xian Rou' crispy pastry reminded me of Shanghai's fresh pork mooncakes, but felt like it lacked a bit of juice. Breakfast at the ground-floor buffet used to impress me, but this time, the taste felt a bit off compared to before. The 'Jiangnan Wok' breakfast selection was rich, the duck blood vermicelli soup was very fresh and delicious, and the handmade soup dumplings were also good. The beef potstickers had a fragrant filling, but the crust wasn't crispy enough. The bread and pastry section had a variety of choices, but the taste felt average, especially my favorite caramel egg tart, whose crust was soft, almost as if it had been microwaved. The Horizon Club breakfast is semi-buffet style, with a la carte options available. The pan-fried salmon was exquisite and delicious, and the duck blood vermicelli soup was generously portioned and very fresh. The restaurant's bread station even had a small toaster, allowing guests to heat their own bread, which was a thoughtful touch. However, I felt the standard had declined compared to before; the Eggs Benedict were solid, the beef in the Nanjing beef noodles was tough, and the steamed buns in the steamer were sometimes not hot, affecting the taste. Although the happy hour offerings were quite rich, the taste was average. Even more unbelievable, we found plastic wrap in the food – this shouldn't happen at a Shangri-La brand hotel. Nevertheless, the service attitude of the staff, whether in the ground-floor restaurant or the Horizon Club, was still very attentive and enthusiastic. I also encountered an unprecedented issue at the gym. For two consecutive days, I was stopped at the entrance because the staff said my room card and room number didn't match. Later, the duty manager likely issued a new room card, but it canceled my previously noted late check-out, causing me to be unable to enter on check-out day, which was quite embarrassing. Although the gym operates 24/7 with room card access, the restroom is shared with the pool, and it's unavailable after staff leave at 11 PM, which is inconvenient for guests who come to work out late. In summary, this stay brought me both joy and sorrow. I hope the hotel can strengthen its training and management to reach new heights and become a landmark of Nanjing, a place one thinks of when Nanjing is mentioned!

The room facilities are complete, and the air conditioning and hot water are excellent. The breakfast is also plentiful. The location is superb, situated in a bustling commercial area and close to the subway station. There are many shopping malls and restaurants nearby, and the room rates are very reasonable.

Great hotel in a superb location for a Yancheng visit. Staff are always warm and attentive, rooms are great and food is superb in the hotel

Definitely a five-star review! The environment here is truly exceptional. There's also a really interesting story: one morning, I was still half-asleep heading to breakfast. After a few days of traveling, I hadn't eaten enough vegetables, so I was just spacing out, mechanically chewing purple cabbage, staring at the floor, not even on my phone. A server noticed me and, perhaps thinking I seemed a bit off, kindly came over to tell me about the other breakfast options like vermicelli soup. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness, hahahahaha (even though I was just zoning out at the time 🐱). After finishing my first plate and getting some energy back, I started eating other items like duck blood vermicelli. The same server saw this and again came over to ask if my breakfast was good, hahahahaha. It was a very memorable experience! (I'm so sorry I didn't catch her name; this happened on April 3rd, and I think she was wearing a black uniform. Thank you so much! ☺️

Location: Super convenient! Confucius Temple, Fuguo Street, Suning Mall, Golden Eagle, Hubushan, and Huilongwo are all within walking distance. The subway station is right downstairs, which is a huge plus, especially during Golden Week when traffic can be a nightmare. It's definitely a landmark building in the absolute city center. Cleanliness: Better than expected, but since it's on a high floor, all the windows are sealed. I personally prefer good ventilation. Facilities: Better than expected, but the hairdryer was a bit basic. Service: The housekeeping staff and the cheerful young man who seated us in the restaurant were all very polite and genuinely enthusiastic, not just mechanically so.

I'm completely charmed by Andaz's aesthetic and quality! The minimalist yet elegant decor, paired with soft furnishings and thoughtfully placed corner accents, truly shows their attention to detail. Plus, they provide Avene toiletries. The room is filled with natural light, and opening the window creates a wonderful ambiance, perfect for stunning photos. It's quiet and peaceful, making it ideal for relaxing before bed or unwinding in the morning. I truly enjoyed the slow pace and immersive experience here 🌿

For my weekend getaway to Yangzhou, I chose Shangri-La, and to my surprise, the experience far exceeded my expectations. You could truly feel the hotel's dedication to its guests everywhere. What really delighted me was the complimentary morning tea at Liuyuanchun Tea House, included with our stay package. This was incredibly 'Yangzhou'! Instead of queuing up like a tourist in the old town, we got to enjoy authentic 'Pi Bao Shui' (a local breakfast tradition) right at the hotel. The buns burst with savory flavor with every bite, and the jade-green shaomai and layered oil cakes were also exceptionally good. Paired with a cup of green tea, this breakfast instantly filled me with happiness. I also have to mention the complimentary foot massage by Lu Qin. As a representative of Yangzhou's 'Three Knives' (a local cultural highlight), the masseuse's technique truly lived up to its reputation. After a day of sightseeing, a foot massage with precise acupressure and thorough pressure instantly melted away all fatigue. I felt ready to explore Slender West Lake all over again! Furthermore, the cuisine at Shang Palace was another major highlight. The Huaiyang dishes were incredibly authentic; the Lion's Head meatball melted in my mouth, and the 'Goose Four Delicacies' and 'Soft Stir-fried Eel' were truly local specialties. The restaurant's ambiance was elegant, and the service was meticulous. From check-in to check-out, Shangri-La Yangzhou truly embodied the meaning of 'home away from home'. Whether it was the comfortable rooms or these value-added experiences, I felt it was incredibly good value for money. Next time I visit Yangzhou, this will definitely be my top choice!

The hotel is located in the old city, not too far from the tourist attractions, and is easily accessible by subway to places like Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Zhongshan Scenic Area, and Xinjiekou. There's a rich variety of dining options nearby, such as Shizilou, Jiming Soup Dumplings, and Yin's Soup Dumplings, all within walking distance, which is fantastic. The hotel environment is good, and the facilities are well-maintained. The bedding is odorless and dry, and the room is clean, though some minor details could use more attention during cleaning 🧹. Otherwise, it's excellent! The staff provided wonderful and attentive service, especially the young lady who handled our check-in; her service was superb 👍👍. She even upgraded our room and gave us complimentary fruit, which was a pleasant surprise. I apologize for forgetting her name, but I'd like to extend my gratitude through this platform!!! The breakfast offers a rich and varied selection, blending Chinese and Western dishes, though the stir-fries could use a bit more seasoning. The afternoon tea on the 78th-floor cloud lounge was also very good, but the service staff there were not quite on par with the front desk, appearing a bit aloof. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. I still recommend it!

The room was very clean and the facilities were great. They even provided slippers and toothpaste for the kids. The breakfast spread was extensive with a wide variety of options. The security guard at the entrance was very friendly, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. Even though my oldest child exceeded the height limit, they still kindly offered a complimentary breakfast. It was a wonderful trip.
