🌁 Decoration Style
The Kempinski Nanjing looks like a "German palace" hidden beside the Ming City Wall! 🏰 The lobby is inspired by the "Six Dynasties stone carvings," with bronze taotie-patterned columns supporting a 12-meter-high dome, and crystal chandeliers cascading like a starry river✨ The spiral staircase is wrapped in blue and gold glazed tiles, every step feels like walking through an art gallery🖼️ Even the elevator buttons are carved from celadon porcelain, a perfect blend of East and West with a premium feel!💎
🏘️ Room Types/Layout
Highly recommend the "Purple Mountain View Executive Room"! Starting at 68㎡, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows frame Zhongshan Mausoleum and Purple Mountain’s frost scenery like an ink painting🌄 The bathroom is amazing—double sinks with Dyson three-piece set, and the round bathtub lets you soak while gazing at the starry ceiling✨ The bedding is 800-thread-count sea island cotton, soft as if wrapped in clouds☁️ The minibar is complimentary! Rain Flower Tea + Osmanthus Sugar Lotus Root, even the ice bucket is cloisonné enamel~🍵
🎠 Activities
The 5th-floor "Sky Garden" is a must-visit! The German-style beer garden hides a miniature Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and at sunset, Purple Mountain turns amber🌇 The basement level 1 has a "Six Dynasties Museum" replica exhibition, and you can try ancient incense ceremonies for free if you wear Hanfu🎎 Don’t want to go out? Order the "Jinling Roast Duck Set" in your room, enjoy it while listening to "Qinhuai Scenery" on B&O speakers, so lazy you won’t want to move~🎶
🍽️ Dining Highlights
"Yu Tian Xuan" is a Black Pearl one-diamond restaurant! Must-try is the "German Pork Knuckle with Jinling Sauce Duck," the crispy skin makes a crackling sound🍖 The "Rain Flower Stone Tangyuan" has a molten black sesame filling, you’ll want to take some home!🍡 The 5th-floor "Berlin Bar" is perfect for dates, with a German sausage platter paired with Purple Mountain night views, 100% romantic🌭 The dessert "Osmanthus Rice Wine Mousse" looks like a work of art, you’ll hate to eat it~🌼
💰 Average Cost
Basic rooms start at 1,500+ RMB/night, with about a 30% weekend premium~ Afternoon tea is 400+ RMB per person, including a Rain Flower Tea special set for 688 RMB (great for photos!)🍵 German Beer Festival set is 888 RMB/person, comes with a custom beer glass🍺 Recommend buying the "Stay + Dining" package, saves 35% compared to booking separately💸 Students can watch for off-season promotions, staying in German-style luxury for 1,200 RMB isn’t a dream~
💗 Other Tips
▫️ Mention birthdays/anniversaries in advance! They’ll decorate with plum blossom lamps + give custom salted duck pastries🎂
▫️ The 5th-floor bar "Purple Mountain Night" offers stunning night views, but cocktails tend to be sweet; try the "Jinling Osmanthus Brew" for a fresher taste🍸
▫️ Wear light-colored clothes! The lobby lighting is warm yellow, perfect for portraits with a natural soft filter effect~📸
▫️ Don’t miss the 1st-floor "German-Italian Cultural Shop," beer glasses + cloud brocade bookmarks are great buys!🛍️
