Five-star hotel facing Xuanwu Lake, part of the World Hotels group. Typical rates ¥700-1,200/night (~$104-179); rates vary by season and booking site.
Lakeview Xuanwu Hotel is a five-star hotel at No. 193 Zhongyang Road in Gulou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, facing Xuanwu Lake and belonging to the World Hotels group. Its position along Zhongyang Road places guests beside the lake park, with the Nanjing City Wall nearby and the Xinjiekou shopping district a short taxi or metro ride away. The setting suits visitors who want lake views without paying the highest luxury rates in the city.
The hotel is an upscale property rather than an ultra-luxury brand, and it offers a comfortable, traditional five-star experience popular with both business and leisure travellers. Rooms are listed as Deluxe Rooms, Club Rooms and Suites, and rooms facing the lake are the most sought after. Higher categories typically include club-lounge privileges with breakfast and evening drinks, and suites provide extra space for families.
Dining is provided by multiple restaurants and a bar. Hotels of this class usually offer a buffet restaurant for international and Chinese dishes and a Chinese restaurant featuring Jiangsu and Huaiyang cuisine, which is a good way to sample local flavours. Breakfast is generally broad enough to suit both Chinese and Western tastes.
Facilities include a spa, a fitness centre and an indoor pool. Wi-Fi is available, and the concierge can help with transfers, restaurant bookings and local sightseeing advice. The service is business-oriented and family-friendly, and the location allows guests to walk in the lake park in the morning before heading to city sights such as the Presidential Palace and Confucius Temple.
Typical rates are about ¥700-1,200 per night (roughly $104-179), depending on season and booking site, which makes the hotel good value compared with other lakeside luxury options. Holidays and trade events raise prices. It is best suited to travellers who want a reasonably priced upscale base overlooking Xuanwu Lake.
