Watching the Beijing skyline, the rare double rainbow in a century, staying at Conrad Beijing

【Preface】

Internet celebrity culture is the result of the public's lack of choice and judgment. Although appearance is important, it is more cultivated.

You, passing by the East Third Ring Road of the imperial capital countless times, have a glimpse of that white "cheese" building, but you don't know which Fortune 500 company or which ShoppingMall is hidden in its stomach. As everyone knows, there is a super five-star hotel hidden in this special building - Beijing Conrad (hereinafter referred to as "Beikang")

[Get to know the hotel in one minute]

【Know the room in one minute】

【brand】

As we all know, the surname of the hotel tycoon CONRAD HILTON is named after the world-renowned hotel group Hilton and his luxury hotel brand Hilton, but few people know that the name of this hotel legend is given to the luxury hotel brand Conrad independently incubated by the Hilton Group. (Hong Kong is called "Gongli"), this luxury brand can be called the most individual proposition under HI.

【Location】

If you know a little about hotels, the road with the most luxury hotels in Beijing must be the East Third Ring Road. From Shuangjing Bridge to Sanyuan East Bridge on the East Third Ring Road, it can be said that there are many luxury hotels, such as Renaissance R&F, Park Hyatt, China Grand Hotel, International World Hotel, Kerry, JEN, Millennium, Rosewood, InterContinental Sanlitun, Bulgari, Hilton, Kempinski, WESTIN, and the old Zhaolong, Liangma, Kunlun, Great Wall Hotel, etc... all the way It is absolutely dazzling to walk down, and the most special appearance is Beijing Conrad opposite Tuanjiehu Park. It is adjacent to Tuanjiehu Subway Station and close to many buses on the third ring road. It is the golden territory of Beijing CBD business circle .

【Exterior】

Beikang's fishnet-shaped irregular skin design is very prominent, and it looks novel and unique among the well-organized surrounding buildings. It is the first super five-star hotel invested by China Merchants Real Estate in China. In the process of hotel design and construction, the designers worked hard to integrate the century-old culture accumulated by China Merchants and the unique modern temperament of Conrad Hotel, creating a unique Beikang.

【Check in】

Stepping into the gate of Beikang, LTW built the lobby with dark marble. What is facing the lobby is not the reception desk, but a glass tile installation by Australian artist Jane Cowie: Koi Pond. The size of this work is as high as 9.9 meters, and 1152 pieces of colored glass are strung together with copper wires, which is very shocking.

On both sides of the back of the koi pond are etched artworks describing the history of the owner China Merchants for more than 140 years, and the lobby bar is also located here.

The most stunning artwork is the fish-shaped intentional sculpture in the center of the lobby bar. The sculpture is 5 tropical fish of different sizes, all of which are hand-welded with rusted metal wires, highlighting the three-dimensional space and design concept of the lobby bar.

HI diamond cards can choose to check in at the executive lounge (HH). After handing over the luggage to the concierge, take the straight elevator up to HH.

HH is guarded by two younger sisters, both of whom are gentle and virtuous, and the basic room has been upgraded to the executive room. I guess, the reason why I didn’t give a cover is that I saw that the price I booked was B (the best price commitment), so I stopped the loss in time. It is understandable that I am a good member of the Buddhist family.

【Room】

Usually, business hotels and minimalist design are combined. Beikang’s guest rooms hide the minibar, bedside light switches and other facilities in cabinets and tables, and add a new Chinese design style to the simplicity. It is a blend of Chinese and Western, simple but not simple. .

Just like the white appearance, the Beikang guest rooms are light and elegant in color. The designer delicately adjusted the color to milky white, and then embellished it with marble and wallpaper patterns. The overall look exudes a touch of comfort.

The big bed is spacious and clean, and the mattress provided by the century-old Sealy inherits the American comfortable sinking feeling of HI.

4 sleeping pillows and sleeping pillow menu are the guarantee of a good sleep, while the 400-thread-count linen is the source of excellent body feeling. The Reson8 speaker produced by iHome placed on the bedside was once the best ipod-specific speaker in the United States.

The orchid is the symbol of Conrad. He appears on the room card, in the lobby, in the corridor, beside the desk and in every corner of the guest room. He is a gentleman and full of vitality.

TWINING tea bags, Nespresso coffee machine and 3 capsules, 2 bottles of 5100 customized drinking water, and various alcoholic drinks and casual snacks are hidden in a small folding cabinet. After research, it is found that the designer’s use of space is very Clever.

The welcome gift and present Conrad Bear is lying on the coffee table by the window, brewing a pot of tea, lying on the bar sofa, watching the traffic flow on the East Third Ring Road outside the window and the urban oasis of Tuanjiehu Park opposite. It is the best leisure in the stressful travel life.

I heard that big windows with skyline views go best with Beijing Blue.

In the capital at that time, the blue sky was the curtain. After taking a sip of green tea, the cup was put down, and the window was already covered with cloudy clouds. I saw a rain cloud roaring from far to near and slowly approaching.

Sighing in my heart, life is like this day, how many stories of cloudy and sunny are being staged in the city at this moment?

Turning your head again, two rainbows appeared in front of your eyes. This kind of beautiful scenery is "rare in a hundred years", and the perspective of Beikang is even better.

【bathroom】

There is also a viewing place in the room, the bathroom.

The layout of the bathroom is parallel to the guest room. The sanitary ware is provided by Keramag, a century-old German bathroom brand. Grohe, which has the same German origin, contracted the hardware of the bathroom, especially the configuration of the double shower. luxury.

Beikang's default equipment is AA (Aromatherapy Associates British Aromatherapy Association), but you can also call HSKP to choose to go to the beach (ShanghaiTang) or TaraSmith. AA is strong in essential oils, TS is strong in herbs, and Shanghai Tang is an elite of domestic products, it is really worth a try.

In addition to the shower, double basin and TV in the vanity mirror, there is another detail worth noting. The hotel has added a non-slip pad under the cup, which is very considerate.

After all, the biggest highlight is the bathtub by the window. Immerse yourself in the bubble bath and appreciate the newly-baked double rainbow in the imperial capital. What more could you ask for?

【FOOD】

There are many things to enjoy about staying in a hotel, and dining is one of them.

Every Conradelli store will have a store of a world-famous brand, and North Conradelli is GODIVA. This brand, known as the Rolls-Royce of chocolates, set up the display cabinets in the red corridor of the breakfast room CHAPTER. If you really want to find an online celebrity check-in spot in Beikang, this must be one.

The restaurant's name CHAPTER is really appropriate, and Tokyo's SpinStudio designed the restaurant as a library. A spiral iron staircase leads to the middle mezzanine, where bookshelves filled with books are arranged. It is mainly used for decoration, but VIP guests are invited to go upstairs to find out.

The breakfast dishes are all placed in the bookcase on the first floor, and the variety and quantity are average. Please take a seat and find a place by the window. The light shines in through the white perforated screen on the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is comfortable and romantic.

At the same time, Lu Yu, an elegant and understated Chinese restaurant designed by LTW, did not fall into an overtly Chinese style, with only a few abacus neatly arranged on the wall next to the entrance, and the passageway to the upper floor decorated with Pale celadon tiles.

HH is the second check-in point. The reason for the recommendation is not the lounge itself, but the beautiful scenery here.

The best view in Beikang is facing southeast. If you don’t have the opportunity to live in a suite of this type, the lounge is definitely a must-see choice.

Someone asked, why is it also facing the third ring road, and why is the lounge the best?

It's very simple. Looking southeast, you can see many high-rise buildings in the Guomao area, such as Big Pants, China Zun, etc., and you can also see the sunset on the west mountain on the other side. There are pictures and truths.

Besides, it is produced by HH. Beikang Happy Hour produces Western-style products, but the taste is not good enough, so let me complain. But fortunately, there are many kinds of drinks in the lounge, and the service of the young lady is also good.

【entertainment】

Don't get me wrong, the entertainment in the hotel is not a sauna, a machine, or a takeaway culture that has changed people, but a gym and a swimming pool.

Of course, Beikang does not have the dazzling items such as private theaters and squash in Aman, but the equipment provided by Life Fitness, a Fortune 500 company in the United States, is the same as that of Beijing Waldorf Astoria in the gym, which is high-end and luxurious.

The swimming pool is a small complaint, the area is really small. It is not as good as Wangfujing Waldorf Astoria, where every inch of land is expensive, and there are not enough rest places, so swimming can only be "straight forward". Fortunately, the locker room is equipped with a dryer to earn back some points.

【What is it】

1. AA, Shanghai Tang or TaraSmith spare parts, the price of a set of AA spare parts is at least 7 or 80 in the market;

2. Pens, Conrad pens are easy to use and have texture;

3. Room card, because I love mobile phone room cards, so I have to pick them up. The room cards of Conrad’s house are all color blocks and orchids. The background color of each house is different. Beikang is aunt red (the leftmost picture below).
