Best Hotel in Nanjing?
 

I am looking to stay a few nights in Nanjing and they don't have any of the normal 5 star chains that I like. I am considering the Intercontinental, Fairmont, Shangri-la and Sofitel.

The Intercontinental looks pretty nice. Does anyone have an opinion as to what is the best property?

I am moving this thread to the FT China Forum.

Intercontinental or Fairmont would be my choice. Westin is ok too.

Great city with lots to do, Unheralded and much less touristy .. you will enjoy. We stayed at the Hilton Riverside.. what are you looking to do?

$123/night....that's about what a motel 6 costs in US.:D

I stay at the Crowne Plaza when I'm in Nanjing. Maybe not quite 5* but still pretty good; at least once you get used to the elevator system.

Marriott Naning
 

I don't know if it is the best.

I usually hang out here. Get top service when they recognize you are Marriott Elite Plt. Lounge is pretty good, with breakfast in restaurant for Elites.

I like it's location, served by metro and a great shopping mall (think restaurants).

OP, Please ignore this.
I misread Nanjing for Nanning :D

Intercontinental, not even close. Believe it’s one of the tallest buildings. Room, view, and breakfast were all excellent.

My favourite is the Hilton Riverside too. Great staff, stunning view, rooms are well kept, and the lounge is my absolute favorite. Breakfast (ground floor) is very good too. You can often get it for Sub-500 RMB rates, which is a total steal (especially as Elite)

However, the location isn't very much in the centre.

I've stayed in quite a few hotels in NKG before.

Sofitel is solid, and used to be relatively cheap (prices went up) - was a bit angry at them last time, when they renovated the pool without further notice and it was closed all the time, but that was just bad luck. I didn't liked the breakfast at the Sofitel too much.

Sheraton is the second-oldest city hotel. A bit worn out by now, but location is VERY central.

Jinling hotel is great if you want to stay in the absolute centre, has history, and the best Baoze (for like 3 RMB)

Apart from that, plenty of new hotels all across the city.

The only hotel I can't recommend at all is the Hilton Wanda Plaza. It's NOT very central and I've had two really bad stays there.
