A good hotel is not only a rest station for the body, but also a secret fortress for the soul. A good hotel should serve people's inner dignity and outer freedom.

In 1933, the famous British writer James Hilton described Shangri La as an eternal, peaceful, quiet and secret paradise in his novel the lost horizon; Because of a coincidence, I was selected by the official wechat experiencer activity of Ctrip weekend travel, and got a chance to stay in the luxury Pavilion of Shangri La Hotel in Chengdu for free. When I first stepped into Shangri La Hotel in Chengdu, I felt like this. So I came to Shangri La with my longing for this kind of paradise.

Chengdu Shangri La Hotel is located on the Bank of the beautiful Jinjiang River. The cold modern curtain wall buildings and the ancient and warm Anshun corridor bridge beside Funan River complement each other; Cold and warm, time and sea, ancient and modern, are all philosophical propositions about this hotel in this city, which is a paradise with Oriental luxury philosophy.

The so-called Oriental luxury philosophy, in my opinion, the main part of the concept of "Oriental luxury", should be both luxury and Oriental spirit. The Shangri La Hotel is located just near Hejiang Pavilion, where the two rivers meet in Chengdu. The surrounding landscape of Canyu is in line with the concept of "flowing cup and winding water" in traditional Chinese philosophy; It is also in line with the "law of balance of yin and Yang" in the book of changes. The surrounding environment of the concept of balance of yin and Yang constitutes the basic pattern of the hotel. For the business guests staying in the hotel, they should belong to the group of gentleman in the ancient Chinese book of rites, Quli, which is called gentleman. The so-called "gentleman" is a kind of ideal state of life, which is a poetic dwelling. The appeal of morality is from Confucianism, and the return of mind is from Taoism. Apart from the busy work of these new high-income groups, a place that can take on the emotional functions other than identity symbols, that is, to provide a place that can be as relaxed as a paradise, should be the best interpretation of the spirit of Oriental luxury philosophy.

TIPS:

The name of "Shangri La" comes from the British writer James? Hilton in 1933 published the legendary work "disappeared horizon" described in a dream paradise. Many years later, Shangri La Hotel Group, with its elegant and comfortable environment, long-standing reputation and sincere hospitality, has made a perfect interpretation of this name.

Since the first luxury hotel opened in Singapore in 1971, Shangri La Hotel Group, headquartered in Hong Kong, has become the largest luxury hotel group in the Asia Pacific region and one of the best hotel property rights and management companies in the world.

Shangri la Hotel Group has more than 80 cities and resorts throughout the Asia Pacific region, North America, the Middle East and Europe, with a total of more than 34000 rooms. In addition, Shangri-La Hotel group also builds new hotels in Chinese mainland, Garner, Hongkong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mongolia, Burma, Philippines, Singapore, Qatar, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom.

The hotel has 593 luxurious and comfortable rooms and Suites, and 26 service apartments. It is adjacent to the latest fashion restaurant landmark in Chengdu, languifang commercial street, and 10 minutes' drive from Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street.

The route map from the airport to the hotel takes about 30 minutes and 20 kilometers to take the airport expressway.

The location of the hotel can be seen from the satellite map. It is located in the middle of Hejiang Pavilion and corridor bridge, two major scenic spots on Funan River.

A week before the Mid Autumn Festival, an express from Shanghai made me very strange. When I opened the express, I found that it was a gift certificate for free check-in of Shangri La luxury pavilion from Ctrip. The Mid Autumn Festival is a surprise

At 2 p.m. on September 6, I drove to the hotel by Funan River to check in

The blue gray curtain wall and the scenery of the high-rise building show that this is a five-star hotel which focuses on business guests.

The entrance of the lobby on the second floor is full of dazzling luxury cars, which is basically the standard configuration of five-star hotels.

Turn around a corner, on the first floor of the podium of the hotel, you can see the sales of luxury cars. Guests of five-star hotels should have cars that meet the identity of this group of people and go to relax in their spare time outside busy business work.

When I walk into the lobby of Shangri La Hotel in Chengdu and check in, I can't help but be attracted by the "peach blossom" blooming in front of me. It's three pictures connected together. The figure of the hotel staff seems to become a bit dreamy against the peach blossom. I felt a little curious, so I asked Kathy, who was wearing hotel work clothes next to me. She said to me with a smile: "this is Zhou Chunya's work peach blossom." no wonder, just entering the door, Chengdu's rich charm, charm and warmth all burst out.

In addition to Zhou Chunya's peach blossom, I like another painting by Tang Ke in the lobby on the second floor, Macaw, which is on the film. The color is bright and the form of expression is very avant-garde; There is also Guo Wei's panda, which shows the treasure of Sichuan in an alternative form of humor. " There is a rest area near every artwork in the hotel. The warm soft light and comfortable sofa make viewers feel like they are in an art museum, isolated from the noise of the world, and talking with art masters.

The topic and preference of local homely life determine the leisure business of the city, and Chengdu's leisure is the free expression of the true state of life. For Chengdu people, leisure is the destination and normality of life. Few people know the artistic atmosphere of Chengdu; In Chengdu, art exhibitions open every week. You have many choices, such as the blue roof art district where famous artists from Chuanmei gather, Sansheng Flower Town where artists' studios gather, and large and small galleries gather. Shangri la hotel has collected the works of 9 Sichuan local artists, including Zhou Chunya, he duoling, Guo Wei, Guo Jin, Ji Lei, Tu Hongtao, Wei Yan, Bai Dongliang, Tang Ke, etc., all of which are specially created by artists for Shangri La Hotel.

If you plan to experience the artistic atmosphere in Chengdu, start with the Shangri La Hotel you stayed in; If you didn't plan to, you may change your schedule when you check in and see peach blossom or Macaw.

The front wall of the lobby is decorated with copper bamboo with ceiling lamps. The floor glass will show the exquisite design of the Chinese courtyard through the window. There is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the courtyard, a sky in the tree, and a moon in the sky... This is the dream of the Chinese courtyard and Shangri La.

The lobby is full of simple and gorgeous style, and the wall in the distance is the work "dawn" by artist Guo Jin.

Like all Shangri La hotels, the hotel is famous for its rich and elegant crystal lights; The design concept of the lobby lounge of Shangri La Hotel in Chengdu obviously comes from the "Shangri La" described in the lost horizon, and the overall design shows a floating "palace in the air". The cloud like decoration of crystal chandeliers floats in the air like colored clouds. The abstract decoration on the glass curtain wall shows the mountains floating in the air; It makes walking on the stairs leading to the second floor seem like flying in the clouds.

Looking out from the floor glass, it is a completely Chinese style garden. The garden presents four different kinds of beauty in four seasons. The pavilions with classic beauty make the scenery outside the window attract the eyes of countless guests, just like the restaurant in the picture.

A golden haired foreign pianist is playing the grand piano in the lobby lounge. At the end of the song, the girl next to her brought a red lantern as a holiday gift under the guidance of her mother. After a few words of chatting, with the consent of the other party, I took a few pictures of the smiling zither player and wished her a happy mid autumn festival in Chengdu.

The so-called good hotel is not only to meet your basic necessities of life, but also a place to help you express your creativity. It is also very appropriate to take care of you psychologically. What I don't adapt to in many business hotels is its taste. Business Hotel people flow, there is always a smell, either not clean smell, or the smell of air fresheners, people can't stand. As soon as you enter Shangri La Hotel, there is a faint and indistinct taste similar to orchid fragrance with high recognition. This is a hotel with taste recognition; This complex flavor is said to be atomized by the central air conditioning system and distributed to all parts of the hotel. This is a unique flavor of Shangri La, with the effect of soothing people's hearts.

The room given by the front desk is No. 3318 on the 33rd floor of the non-smoking floor. This is the executive floor of the luxury Pavilion on the same floor as the presidential suite. Step on the thick plush carpet to find the room number, swipe the card and open the door

At the end of the corridor on the left side of the 33rd floor is room 3318

The double-sided curtain wall glass in front of me can give you a panoramic view of the 270 degree Funan River in Chengdu. There is a wall mounted LCD in the super large bathroom. The warm colors and good privacy give me a very good first impression of the room.

Of course, the most important criterion to judge a good hotel is not 360 degree invincible river view plus luxurious decoration; The essence of staying in a hotel is to let the guests have a good sleep here; In fact, it is not easy to achieve this requirement. In addition to the comfort of bedding, sound insulation, lighting, air quality, shading performance of curtains, walking speed and speaking speed of service personnel are all the key points.

First of all, from the visual point of view, the beds in the room are quite neat, and we can feel that the hotel cleaners are working hard; Then use nose to smell, there is no smell of disinfectant or moist odor; The fabric is delicate and soft, and the sheets are made of high count cotton with good quality. All of these meet the basic requirements of the comfort of a five-star hotel bed. I called the service desk and asked to change the pillow. The service desk gave me four different choices, including buckwheat pillow and no Lavender pillow.

The comfort of the bed in the room can be fully guaranteed, and the rest is the sound insulation; In the afternoon, the fully sealed glass on the 33rd floor basically insulates the car noise from the Road downstairs, while the sound insulation effect of other rooms on the same floor can only be seen at night.

During the night break, the room is still very quiet, and no sound can be heard in the next room; Relative to many five-star hotel light steel keel gypsum board wall completely not sound insulation decoration, shangri la hotel room sound insulation this is completely can give full marks.

My personal habit is not too concerned about the size of the room, and like a particularly spacious bathroom; There are many dead corners in the bathroom, and this is the best place to consider the sanitary condition of a hotel; I probably noticed the mirror of the bathroom and the electroplated metal surface of the faucet, and found no water stains and fingerprints; No fingerprints were found in the mouthwash cup, which shows that the hygiene details are quite in place.

The bed flag with strong Sichuan embroidery brocade features is like a silk handicraft, which makes people reluctant to destroy its original appearance

Retractable make-up mirror is now basically the standard configuration of five-star hotels. This equipment is a very considerate design for female guests.

Teapots and teacups with strong local characteristics. Rattan teapot boxes, beams, pink teapots and teacups have a strong aristocratic style of the Republic of China. A good hotel is to express the psychological comfort of a city to a stranger. A city has a city's personality, and a hotel also has a hotel's personality. If the hotel can bring the guests' personality into a small welcome world when highlighting their personality, for example, when expressing their small personality, my personal personality is also allowed to be expressed, this hotel should be pleasant.

Shower room and bathtub can share the LCD TV on the wall, which is a good way to kill time for people who like to take a bath

The hotel's support for low-carbon environmental protection is also the embodiment of this harmony

The ideological root of the global popular "low carbon life" action is a kind of life belief in China thousands of years ago. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the thinker Zhang Zai first put forward the concept of "harmony between man and nature", which advocates that man and nature have the same root and origin and are a community of life, emphasizing respect for nature, imitation of nature, closeness to nature and harmonious coexistence.

The low-carbon life advocated by the modern West is actually the return of Oriental natural philosophy.

The switch of the automatic curtain in the room made me feel frustrated. I couldn't pull the curtain. After carefully studying the structure of the lower curtain, I thought it should be automatic; It took me a long time to find the curtain switch, but I didn't know it was at the head of the bed until I asked the service center.

The guests of the luxury pavilion are treated by the luxury Pavilion lounge, which is on the highest 36th floor of the hotel

Luxury Pavilion lounge can have a higher view of Funan River and Hejiang Pavilion. After 5 p.m. every day, there will be plenty of tea and drinks in the lounge for free to the guests on the executive floor. Ask for a glass of Longjing or a glass of Bordeaux, sit in the nightfall lounge and savor the blue sky of Chengdu, the land of abundance, slowly changing until night falls

The concept of hotel is just like the soul of life. Everything should start from the inside out. This internal essence is very important. I most care that the hotel has a beautiful concept, which can create a beautiful space. The service staff working in the beautiful space must be happy, and their happiness will be fed back to the guests.

There are not many service staff in the luxury Pavilion, only three of them, but you can feel the smile of the service staff coming from the heart. It doesn't have to be a standard routine for her to come here with red wine, but when she puts down the plate, you can feel that she wants you to have a good time. This kind of spiritual strength is far beyond the routine training. Of course, you can infer that this is a pleasant hotel with comfortable environment and good employee benefits.

Located on the first floor of the hotel, Rong coffee is decorated with warm colors in every corner. The unique features are the nine open kitchens with exotic flavor. The Turkish oven reveals a strong exotic flavor... In addition, there are snack area, dessert area, cold salad area, Indian food area, pasta area and bar area. The Malaysian food festival is being held here. For me who have been to Malaysia three times, niangya cuisine, Indian cuisine and local Chinese cuisine are relatively familiar; However, it's a nostalgic journey through taste experience to taste authentic Malaysian cuisine in Chengdu, an inland city far away from Malaysia

The combination of these three decorations in the corner aroused my strong interest. The terracotta warriors waist drum and the painted drum are put together. Standing quietly in front of the steaming glass partition of the restaurant, it seems that time passes through, magic and interesting.

Chi (SPA), a spa located on the fourth floor of the hotel, is a place most closely combined with the concept of five elements and balance of yin and Yang in oriental philosophy. In traditional Chinese theory, Qi is the key force to dominate health and vitality. Through stretching, massage, spa and meditation, guests can relax in a comfortable environment, wash their thoughts, and help their bodies naturally cycle and renew, Make the body and mind reach the most perfect and harmonious state.

If you have lived in Shangri La without enjoying the spa, it's like coming to Sichuan without seeing a giant panda.

The luxurious, mysterious, beautiful and quiet private rooms with strong Tibetan decoration style appropriately reflect the essence of Shangri La

Hejiang pavilion looks up at the hotel as night falls, a perfect combination of modern and ancient. Time and the sea, ancient and modern, these are all about the city, this hotel Oriental philosophy proposition.

This is another aspect of Shangri La Hotel. A whole piece of characteristic large family's red door and shadow wall are full of ancient flavor from the roof to the corner. The projection lamp projects various patterns on the ground. The wind blows, the silk curtain dances lightly, and the human figure is graceful. Through the glass wall, the bamboo rows are uneven, which is quite picturesque. In a trance, I felt that everything I saw was like a dream.

Half drunk half awake, this is the night Shangri La impression

Like the night in Chengdu, the bars in Lan Kwai Fong are full of beautiful women. Chengdu is a city full of beauties, which makes the city more or less a bit of powder. At this time the bar, pink beauty in the glamour of the charm of the temptation, the ambiguous crowd mixed with a variety of perfume taste. In front of you is a charming woman like a horse lantern, with the whispering swallow language of vermilion in her ear, which is enough to make you fall into a pink pond. There are goblets with red liquid by the bar; The flickering lights; That one or deep or shallow smile. It's enough to make you understand the profound meaning of the slogan "Chengdu, a city that you don't want to go when you come.". If you see colorful cheongsam in front of you, you will think that you are in the era of "in the mood for love". You are dancing with all kinds of colorful cheongsam

Mooney's bar has a live performance by an international resident band. It has a high standard of jazz blues, English songs of various styles, various fashionable and charming theme nights, performances of different styles and cocktails of various tastes. It makes people sober and confused.

Bashu County banquet hall is located on the first floor of the hotel. This is a very popular venue for wedding banquet in Chengdu. The height of the banquet hall can accommodate 1200 people. Its momentum and function fully reflect the practical and luxurious characteristics of Shangri La. The ceiling is deduced by the way of square lattice embedded crystal lamp, which makes the design of the banquet hall more solemn and big. So here you can easily see all kinds of luxurious weddings with Chengdu characteristics. For example, this luxurious ceremony with eight bridesmaids holding skirts.

In Europe, philosophy and faith are more decoration than life itself. The wisdom of Oriental life will be the spiritual food to save the modern western civilization from the predicament. These thoughts spread the soul of philosophy to a broad and all inclusive thought, and they will also spread to a wider and more profound field and scope.

In 1974, a young man named jobs and his classmate Daniel curt went to India as hippies barefoot and in rags. They were going to meet neem Karo Baba, a famous Hindu master in the small town of Vrindavan in northern India. Unfortunately, when they reached their destination, they found that the master had passed away. So they went north along the nearest Buddhist holy land, Luyeyuan, until they were close to Nepal.

The second generation of rich people named jobs didn't understand the relationship between material and spirit that Westerners have been struggling with until he returned home. Perhaps, he still does not understand that the material world is only the embodiment of human brain imagination, and it is the internal concept that drives human body to practice and create the world. Later, jobs had an idea in his heart: to convey ideas through materials, to move people, and to make the world a better place. He decided to start his new life in a new way different from the past.

Later, he created a refreshing apple for our world

Hilton advocates a kind of "moderation and harmony" in the lost horizon, which can be described as the highest state of the relationship between man and nature and even between man and man. Because people have the common desire to pursue harmony and beauty, Shangri La came out of the British books, entered people's social life, and went to the whole world. Standing at a height suitable for the world, Shangri La was gazed at, touched, cherished and interpreted

There should be a Shangri La in everyone's heart
