HSR Jinling Grand Hotel Huai'an is a luxury hotel at No. 98 Meigao East Road, Huai'an District, Huai'an, Jiangsu, in the Huai'an District side of the city, the historic heart of Huai'an around Hexia Ancient Town, Jiangsu province, China. Hexia Ancient Town is a restored canal-side quarter of Ming and Qing era lanes, merchant courtyards and salt-trade mansions, and it sits close to the birthplace of Premier Zhou Enlai and to the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall, the city's most visited sites. The area is also tied to Wu Cheng'en, author of Journey to the West, so many visitors in Jiangsu province combine the memorial hall, the former residences and the ancient town in a single day on foot or by short taxi ride.
Opened in 2023 and positioned for rail travellers, the hotel lists free station pickup, so it works as a convenient first or last night in Huai'an. The local-language name is 淮安高铁金陵大酒店, which is useful when showing a taxi driver the destination.
Room categories listed for the hotel include double bed room and twin room. Listed amenities include free parking, EV charging, free station pickup, Chinese restaurant, robot delivery service and fitness room. These details come from public listings and can vary by floor and building, so guests with specific needs should check before arrival.
For dining, an on-site Chinese restaurant serves meals, with Huaiyang-style Jiangsu dishes typical of local hotel kitchens. Huai'an is known for Huaiyang cuisine, so many guests also eat at nearby local restaurants, where soft-pocket eel, crayfish dishes and braised pork meatballs are common orders. Wellness and leisure facilities include fitness room.
Service is more full-service than the budget chains nearby, with a larger lobby, restaurant facilities and staff used to handling groups, banquets and international guests. Pricing is described on the listing as: From about ¥350-420 (~$49-59) per night on Trip.com listings, October 2026; rates vary by date. The hotel carries a guest rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 1935 reviews on the listing sources used, and the front desk can be reached by phone at +86-517-87089999. Guests arriving by air typically fly into Huai'an Lianshui Airport, while those arriving by high-speed rail use Huai'an East station; both are reached by taxi or ride-hailing app within the city.
