A perfect blend of history, culture, and modern comfort

Once you step through the hotel's private courtyard gate, the hustle and bustle of the city is gently filtered out by ancient camphor trees and meticulously maintained flower beds. The coolness of time lingers beneath your feet on the bluestone path, while only birdsong and the rustle of leaves in the breeze reach your ears. This serenity of being "hidden in the city" amidst urban chaos is Xiangjiang Hotel's most precious gift.
In the rooms, retro brass switches, cleverly concealed USB charging ports by the bedside, specialty snacks in the minibar, and choices between buckwheat and memory foam pillows for different preferences... Every detail reveals thoughtful design.
Most captivating are the carefully restored murals and historical photographs in the lobby and corridors. The juxtaposition of yellowed images with cutting-edge art installations silently narrates the hotel's glorious past and modern transformation.
Choosing Xiangjiang Hotel results in surprises that far exceed expectations. It's not just an overnight stay but more like a sensory journey through time, where every detail speaks of the perfect blend of historical heritage and contemporary comfort.
