This time I came to Chaoyang, Beijing to handle some personal matters. I didn't choose the popular internet hotel next to Guomao, but instead plunged into the Livefortuna Hotel Beijing by Dawang Road. I originally only thought it would be convenient for travel, but after three nights of immersive stay, I realized that this hotel, rooted in the core area of CBD, has hidden the old Beijing style comfort in every detail of accommodation. Even someone like me who suffers from insomnia when changing beds has found a long lost sense of security in the bustling city.
As soon as I checked in, I was hit by a detail. The doorman took my dusty suitcase and put a dust cover on it before pushing it into the elevator; When checking the information at the front desk, I noticed that I had wrapped my coat tightly and quietly handed over a cup of warm old Beijing tangerine peel tea. With a smile, I said that after autumn in Beijing, the wind is hard, and drinking a cup of warm tea can drive away the cold. Open the door of the room on the high floor. There is no extravagant decoration. The warm brown soft decoration is soft but not stuffy. The small tea table facing the window is facing the CBD skyline. The wind comes in through the half open window, enveloping the sweet smell of Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand on the street below. The tiredness of the journey is almost gone.
The most surprising thing is the peaceful sleeping experience amidst the hustle and bustle. Although located in the core area of CBD, the three-layer insulated glass seamlessly separates the noise from the outside world, making it impossible for the traffic on the main road downstairs to penetrate. The softness and hardness of the mattress just support the waist and neck, without the collapse feeling commonly seen in many city hotels. The 80 count pure cotton bedding is washed fluffy and soft, and there is no unfamiliar stiffness when applied to the skin. The double-layer blackout curtains tightly block all external light, and even the neon lights of the office building cannot penetrate at night. I slept for eight hours for three consecutive nights without the insomnia problem of changing beds. When getting up at night, the sensor night light at the foot of the bed slowly lights up, and the light is soft enough not to be dazzling. The hot water in the bathroom comes out in seconds, and the water flow from the thermostatic showerhead wraps around the body, rubbing away the sourness and bloating from a day of wandering.
The daily fragmented experience is also full of the thoughtfulness of old-fashioned hotels. In the morning, I went to the restaurant on the first floor to have a buffet. My aunt in Mingdang remembered that the day before yesterday I asked for fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold with coke rings. Before I could speak, she brought me a hot meal and a small dish of homemade mustard. When I left, I casually left my scarf in the lobby. When I came back, the staff had neatly folded it and placed it at the front desk, and even thoughtfully put on a dust bag. One day, when I returned to the hotel late at night, the front desk also handed me a small box of free Pea puree cake, saying that I had seen my circle of friends wandering in the alleys, and I had deliberately left cool old Beijing Dim sum.
I used to think that chasing after internet famous hotels to check in when coming to Beijing was fresh, but this time after staying at Livefortuna Hotel Beijing, I realized that truly comfortable accommodation is never just a pile of ceremonial feelings. It's like an old Beijing neighbor who has known you for many years, quietly arranging all your unspoken needs. In just three nights, it feels like having a quiet and comfortable temporary home next to the busiest CBD.Show more
