Michelin
The seventh-floor lobby has an open glass skylight atrium and rooftop garden, with Collection Coffee nestled beneath soaring glass ceilings surrounded by greenery.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Guihe Shopping Center sits directly below, and Baotu Spring is just a short walk away.
The rooms

The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
A heated indoor pool sits beneath a curved skylight on the seventh floor, and the gym faces floor-to-ceiling city views.
At the table
Cafe L6 serves open-kitchen buffets with regional dishes and pastries, and drinks are poured at the neon-lit bar.
