In Zhengzhou! Stayed at the ideal hotel in my mind, it's truly amazing

Zhengzhou Le Méridien

📍 Prime location, super convenient
Le Méridien is located in the central business district of Zhengdong New Area, with a subway station right downstairs. It's just a ten-minute taxi ride to Zhengzhou East Station. There are plenty of places to explore nearby, and it's close to the CityOn Shopping Mall, perfect for dining and shopping. On weekends, you can take a stroll around Ruyi Lake and enjoy the night view of the "Big Corn" building. When the lights come on at night, the whole city becomes romantic. If you want to experience Henan culture, the Henan Art Center is also nearby, offering concerts or plays that will satisfy your artistic cravings.

🛋️ An artistic stay experience
The moment you step into the lobby, you'll be amazed by the huge art installation hanging from the ceiling, with light and shadow interplaying, making it feel like you've walked into an art gallery. During check-in, the staff handed me a special drink, sweet and sour, made with local Henan fruits, which instantly refreshed me.

The room design is full of clever details, with decorative paintings of old Zhengzhou photos on the walls, blending retro and modern styles. The most surprising part was the chaise lounge at the foot of the bed—lying there at night watching shows with the city night view outside the window was pure bliss. The bathroom amenities are in large bottles with a sophisticated fragrance, leaving you smelling great after a shower. Even the hairdryer has negative ion technology, making hair smooth and frizz-free.

🏊 Excellent wellness facilities
The gym is fully equipped with treadmills, ellipticals, dumbbells, and more, plus huge mirrors so you can admire your "athletic posture" while working out. The heated pool is my favorite—the water is crystal clear, and after swimming, a session in the nearby sauna washes away all fatigue. There are also fruits and bottled water by the pool, perfect for rehydrating after a swim. The attention to detail is impeccable.

💡 Practical tips

Don’t miss the New Recipe All-Day Dining Restaurant. The breakfast spicy soup is a must-try, authentic and flavorful. The seafood buffet dinner offers a wide variety, with unlimited crayfish and oysters—great value for money.

In the evening, visit the lobby bar and try their signature cocktails. The bartenders are highly skilled, and the drinks are both visually stunning and delicious.

Check the hotel’s website for package deals in advance—sometimes, staying two nights gets you a complimentary afternoon tea for two, which is a great deal. If it’s a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday, let the hotel know in advance—they can decorate the room, making the experience even more memorable!
