Jumeirah Nanjing

Staying at the Jumeirah Nanjing, you get sweeping views from the iconic twin-tower landmark, just 800 meters from Yuantong Station. Nearby, you'll find Hexi Wanda Plaza and the Nanjing Eye Footbridge. Guests often rave about the breakfast and pool experience.

🏨【First Impressions】I checked into the Jumeirah Nanjing, and 💫 my first thought was how amazing the views are from this twin-tower landmark.✨ My room faced the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, and 🌈 the city skyline looked super clear during the day. ✨ It's got a 4.5 rating on Ctrip, and guests often mention quick service and quiet rooms. 🏞️ Check-in was smooth—no long wait. 🌟 The vibe is modern and boutique, ✨ with hallways and common areas not too crowded, perfect for those who like peace and quiet. The bed was supportive, pillows just right, and soundproofing was solid—I barely heard any hallway noise at night. Guests say "the bed is super comfy" and "service is fast," and I totally agree. Room service took about 10 minutes. The only minor thing is waiting for the elevator during peak hours, but it's manageable.

🌟【Core Experience】What really made this hotel worth the price for me was the twin-tower view room, especially at night when the Nanjing Eye Footbridge lights up—it's like a painting from the window. 🌸☀️ The hotel itself is boutique-style, with a strong design aesthetic in public areas but not over-the-top. The real perks for guests are the pool and gym. The pool is on a high floor with great views, making for a relaxing swim. 🌙 Another unique plus is the two on-site restaurants: Lu Chao Modern Chinese Restaurant and Twin Peaks Buffet. I tried Lu Chao's Huaiyang cuisine, about 300 RMB per person, and the dishes were refined—great for business dinners or family gatherings. 📸 The seafood buffet at the other restaurant is around 400 RMB per person, and guests often say it's varied and fresh. I found the crab legs and sashimi restocked quickly. 🧳 Overall, this hotel blends "landmark building" with "boutique experience" without feeling flashy. 🗺️

🚇【Getting Around】The hotel is in Hexi CBD, about 800 meters from Yuantong Metro Station on Lines 2 and 10. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Xinjiekou, 30 minutes to Nanjing South Railway Station on Line 2, and about 1 hour to Nanjing Lukou International Airport with a transfer to Line S1. 🛏️💫 If you take a taxi or ride-hailing, you can be picked up right at the door—about 20 minutes to the train station and 40 minutes to the airport.🏨 🏞️ For drivers, there's parking, but check the fees when booking. Guests often mention it's "close to the metro" and "easy to get a taxi." From Yuantong Station exit, it's an 8-minute walk to the hotel, with a convenience store along the way for snacks and drinks. ✨ If you're heading to the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, it's about a 15-minute walk—great for catching a game or show. 🌟

🛍️【Shopping Nearby】There are two main malls nearby: Nanjing International Expo Center Shopping Mall and Hexi Wanda Plaza. 🏨 The first has chain stores like Starbucks, KFC, and Pizza Hut, with paid parking. The second is about a 10-minute walk away and has Uniqlo, H&M, Starbucks, and Haidilao, also with paid parking. 🛏️ I went to Hexi Wanda, where there's a Yonghui Supermarket for daily needs and snacks. Haidilao had a 30-minute wait in the evening, but the food was consistent. 🌸 For more variety, you can take Metro Line 2 to Xinjiekou, about 20 minutes. 🍃 There's no convenience store right under the hotel, but there's a FamilyMart near Yuantong Station exit, handy for breakfast and drinks. ☀️ Overall, the shopping options are decent for daily needs but not super extensive. 🌙

🍜【Local Eats】For local food, you can find duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, soup dumplings, and beef pot stickers near the hotel. I recommend the old-school spots near Hexi Wanda, where you can eat well for 30-50 RMB per person. 🍃📸 For a proper meal, the hotel's Lu Chao Modern Chinese Restaurant is about 300 RMB per person, serving modern Huaiyang cuisine. I tried the braised crab meat lion's head and Wensi tofu—authentic and tasty. The Twin Peaks buffet is around 400 RMB per person, with lots of seafood. Guests say "the breakfast has a wide variety," and I saw a live noodle station and omelet station, with fresh fruit. 🧳 For more authentic street food, you can take a taxi to Laomendong or Confucius Temple, about 20 minutes away, where there are more snack options. 🗺️ But within walking distance, there aren't many local food stalls, so plan ahead. 💫

🛏️【Rooms & Amenities】I stayed in a river-view room, with windows facing the Yangtze River and Nanjing Eye—great views. 🌈 The room was well-equipped, with a separate shower and bathtub, and branded toiletries that smelled nice. 🏞️ The hotel has a gym, pool, spa, and bar. The pool is on a high floor with constant temperature, super comfortable for swimming. The gym has treadmills and dumbbells, open 24/7. ✨ Breakfast is a buffet with Chinese and Western options. Guests often say it's varied, and I found the noodle station and omelet station pretty good. 🌟 Checkout is usually at noon, but confirm when booking. 🏨 Parking is available but fees are unknown—best to ask the front desk. 🛏️ Overall, the rooms and amenities are worth the price, suitable for business trips or vacations. 🌸

🎡【Nearby Attractions & Tips】Nearby attractions include the Nanjing Eye Footbridge and Hexi Central Park. The bridge is free and about a 15-minute walk away—beautiful at night with light shows. The park is also free with free parking, great for a stroll. 🍃 If you're bringing kids, the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center is a 15-minute walk for games or shows. ☀️ Foreign guests can check in with a passport, and the front desk speaks English well. 🌙 In summer, it's hot in Nanjing, so bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. In winter, there's indoor heating but it's windy outside. 📸 During peak seasons (like holidays), book at least a week in advance to avoid sold-out rooms. 🧳 Overall, this hotel is great for families, couples, or business travelers, with convenient access to attractions and transport. 🗺️
