Checking in at a hidden gem hotel near Guangzhou Chimelong — Chimelong Wanbo Center Elegant Hotel, from the high-altitude views to the trendy swing room, it completely exceeded expectations! You can lie in bed and overlook the city skyline, truly achieving a "laid-back vacation" 🌇
The 57th-floor cloud lobby is definitely the top photo spot, with 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the bustling Panyu district in full view. The swing king bed room I stayed in offers great value, and the bird’s nest swing chair in the room is super photogenic. Snuggling in there to binge-watch shows at night is just amazing~ The modern light luxury design is full of details, with a red and black main color scheme paired with greenery that’s very stylish. Every snap looks like an Instagram-worthy shot.
📍Super convenient location:
• 5-minute walk to Nancun Wanbo Metro Station (Lines 7 and 18)
• Right downstairs are four major malls including Tianhe City and Wanda Plaza
• Only a 10-minute drive to Chimelong Scenic Area (hotel offers free shuttle service)
💯Service highlights:
• Welcome drink on the 55th-floor check-in
• Butler-style service with super fast response (got a sewing kit delivered in 5 minutes at midnight)
• First round of mini bar is free (they even have Bingtelbao sparkling water!)
• Smart toilet + double sink setup, perfect for friends sharing a room without conflicts
🍽️High-altitude dining experience:
Highly recommend the executive lounge afternoon tea on the 28th floor, matcha mousse and scones are a perfect match~ The freshly cooked wonton noodles at breakfast are a hidden gem, remember to add their homemade chili sauce! You can also order authentic claypot rice during late-night hours.
📸Must-shoot scenes:
1. Swing chair with city night view (suggest using flash for silhouette shots)
2. Sunset glow in the 57th-floor lobby (best light between 5-6 pm)
3. Instagram-famous large round mirror in the bathroom (selfies here make your legs look two meters long)
4. Geometric light and shadow in the elevator hall (wear solid colors for better photos)
⚠️Useful tips:
• Swing rooms are limited, recommend booking in advance
• Shuttle service requires reservation one day ahead
• Free underground parking for guests
• Nearby mall restaurants open until 11 pm
This time I was completely won over by the cloud view from the 55th-floor lobby. Whether you’re visiting Chimelong or just relaxing at the hotel, it’s perfect. At checkout, I found out they recently have a promotion offering a free buffet for stays of 3 nights or more. Planning to bring my parents back next month for another stay~
