Hualuxe Hotel Wuhu: Patrolling the Low Places
【Journey Memory】
"There is a bus from Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport to the city terminal (next to the high-speed rail station). It only costs RMB 20 one way, and the journey takes about an hour. And from the city terminal to the HUALUXE Hotel, it takes about 15 minutes. , it will be faster if you take the elevated route. If you go through the city, there are many traffic lights and there will be traffic jams occasionally."
In terms of positioning, HUALUXE and Crowne Plaza are comparable, but the former tends to be more Chinese-style, while the latter is more purely Western-style business meetings. Hualux’s ultimate destination for upgrading is the same as that of CP. They are all working towards the intercontinental brand. For example, Crowne Plaza Banna Winter Resort has been upgraded to Intercontinental Resorts. One of the Hualux stores in Xi’an and Haikou Hualux have also been renovated. For Intercontinental, I estimate that Wuhu is also fast, at least in terms of hardware and status, it has this potential. Many people think that the word "邑" is relatively unfamiliar and difficult to remember and pronounce. Here is a trick. Do you know the once famous film company "Huayi"? The pronunciation is the same, hey, I will think of that company name when I live in Hualuxe, so you won't pronounce it wrong, haha.
【Member Benefits】
"No welcome fruits, no welcome gifts, and no 90 yuan meal coupons."
No administrative treatment. Even for single occupancy, other InterContinental hotels give diamond members two welcome drink coupons, but this hotel only gives one, which is unique. At first he didn't give me breakfast, but after seeing my surprised expression, he quickly changed his mind and gave me breakfast with great reluctance.
【Guest Room Snapshot】
"There is no upgraded suite. The so-called upgrade is better than nothing. The high-rise river view room on the 33rd floor looks like a dark place. It is actually similar to the basic beggar's room."
The phone cord in the guest room was unplugged and I had to install it myself before I could make a call. There are bathtubs, electric curtains and gauze curtains, minibars for a fee, Chinese tea sets, and capsule-free coffee machines.
【Brief description of public area】
"The gym has a large area, complete hardware, and many niche equipments, including table tennis tables. The swimming pool looks extremely high-end against the lighting. Overall, it surpasses most hotel gyms in Anhui Province. It must be praised. .”
After the workout, the little girl on duty would chase me to the elevator and shout loudly several times, asking me if I had returned the card. The attitude was extremely bad and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. There were no more than five guests who came to the gym in one night. The brain of that kind of creature can also remember clearly who wants the cards in the hand. How is this trained? It’s a huge price drop for the hotel. The garden is temporarily closed, presumably for safety reasons. There is guqin playing in the lobby on the first floor. Sometimes, using Chinese style for the sake of Chinese style makes people feel pretentious, pretentious and counterproductive. Everything should be done naturally. We can learn from Zhangjiakou Huayuxe.
【Catering Overview】
"Among the Anhui hotels I have stayed at, this hotel's breakfast is outstanding. The variety and quality are all top-notch, and the dishes are full of color, flavor, and many local specialties, such as Qianzhang, various spicy dishes, and noodles. With a variety of high-quality toppings and more, it’s a feast for the eyes and a whet of appetite.”
There is a take-out coffee area for members at the entrance of the all-day dining restaurant, but the lids of the take-out coffee cups are really poor. It is recommended to use the group’s unified Chinese-style Huayu standard coffee cup, which is elegant and strong. You can learn from Suzhou Huayu. When training in hotel restaurants, we always tell the waiters to take the first guests to the worst seats, and wait until all the useless seats with bad positions are filled, then go to the prime seats (or reserve them in advance for regular customers) , dignitaries), this is almost the standard for five-star hotels, and this is also the case for this Hualuxe. So, don’t follow the waiter’s guidance: “Sir, do you think it’s okay to sit here?” Once you say this, it must be a bad seat. You must find a seat by yourself. Believe me, that’s right, haha. It is recommended to follow the example of Beihai Crowne Plaza and Shenzhen Landmark Crowne Plaza, and set aside a large area as a high-level IHG Rewards Club member area. There are also many special dishes, freshly squeezed juices, etc., which not only ensures privacy, It also makes you feel good and energetic at the beginning of the day.
【Fix omissions and omissions】
"In the entire prefecture-level city of Wuhu, this Hualuxe is the only hotel at the top of the hotel pyramid. The second echelon is Shimao DoubleTree by Hilton and Wanda Realm. Therefore, the occupancy rate of this Hualuxe is extremely high, and the frequency of business meetings is also very high. It is extremely high and full rooms are the norm. It is also because the business is so good that the hotel does not pay much attention to individual guests. Regardless of whether you are a diamond or not, to them, you are too insignificant. The team is what makes money. Big Boss, you can feel it in the attitude, it’s really understandable, after all, it’s not a charity.”
I have served Chery for 17 years. I have hosted the national launch conferences of many important models, such as E3, Arrizo 7, Tiggo 5, etc., so I have a deep understanding of this low-key car. The Central Automobile City has real feelings, and I hope its hotel industry and tourism industry will become more and more mature. Currently, there are 14 InterContinental Group hotels open in Anhui Province, distributed in 5 prefecture-level cities, including 1 InterContinental, 1 Hualuxe, 1 VOCO, 1 Holiday Inn, 2 Holiday Inn, 3 Crowne Plaza, 5 smart choices.
