What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The lobby sets an unmistakably bold tone: a sculptural blue horse installation, deep-toned walls, reflective surfaces and dramatic lighting.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Golden Eagle Museum of Art sits next door, and subway line 2 links the district to central Nanjing.
The rooms
Bedrooms use curved motifs inspired by local river pebbles, and floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight out across the city.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
The 56th-floor lap pool sits between angled structural columns, and the gym includes its own boxing ring.
At the table
Pinwei Jiangnan serves Huaiyang classics on the 50th floor, and cocktails are poured under a rippled metallic ceiling.
How it began
French architect Frédéric Rolland designed the complex as a vertical city, linking its three towers with a sky bridge at 200 meters.
