Staying at Atour is like carrying the Qinhuai River in your pocket

As a native Nanjinger who grew up near Confucius Temple, I can confidently say: this hotel is even more comfortable than staying at home! On weekends, I invite my besties for a "mini staycation in the city" and head straight here👇 Just a 5-minute walk downstairs to Qinhuai Wharf. Strolling there at dusk, you catch the illuminated pleasure boats✨ The river breeze carries the sweet scent of plum blossom cakes right to your nose. After wandering around, no need to call a ride—just slip on your slippers and walk back to the hotel, offering a "relaxation right at your doorstep" vibe~ The best part is the river view room. You can laze in bed until 9 AM, then open the window to be greeted by the morning mist over the Qinhuai River🌫️ The pleasure boats drift slowly by, and you can even clearly hear the calls of the pearl sellers downstairs. This atmosphere is ten times better than watching the street from my own balcony. The bed in the room is as soft as cotton quilt dried in the sun by my grandma. Once you flop down, your phone goes "missing" for two hours📱 The wooden furniture has a faint fragrance, even more pleasant than the aromatherapy my mom lights🥰 Breakfast hits the Nanjing cravings perfectly! The duck blood vermicelli soup’s broth is even better than the decade-old shop downstairs from my place. The duck liver is generous and fresh, paired with a bowl of small wontons—you can even finish the soup clean🍜 The facilities are very "down-to-earth": the laundry room is big enough to fit the shopping outfits of the three of us. After drying, we wear them straight to Laomendong to show off our soup dumplings; the gym has air conditioning, so after eating soup dumplings, you can pedal a few rounds, embodying the Nanjing spirit of "mouth can’t stop but scale can’t rise"🤣 The wireless charging pad by the bed is a lifesaver—forgot your cable? Just place your phone there and binge-watch with a full charge. From a local’s heart: staying here means no rushing to attractions. Open the window and there’s the Qinhuai River, a few steps to Confucius Temple, and even Jiang Youji in Laomendong is within walking distance. It’s more worry-free than staying at home!
