For a more pleasurable stay, requesting a room on one of the executive floors is ideal. The floor-to-ceiling windows leave you awestruck by the view of the city from above and the little lounge off each of these floors is a nice touch if you’re hoping to grab a morning cup of coffee and read a book in peace instead of fighting the throngs for a seat in the main lobby.
Business travelers can take advantage of the full service business center on the lower levels of the hotel. It includes private meeting rooms and dependable printing services, which can be a lifesaver if you have to whip up a physical handout to go along with your big corporate dog and pony show. The staff know how to handle coding bursts and can help with courier service around town as needed.
In terms of dining, you should absolutely venture out into the restaurants in the pedestrian area around Jianghan Road rather than eat every meal on site. Wuhan has a breakfast culture you’ve got to experience, and hot dry noodles sold by local street vendors not two city blocks away should not be missed. The restaurants in general in this district are vibrant and reflect a much truer taste of the province of Hubei than standard issue hotel food.
Finally, come prepared for the weather. Wuhan summers are hot and muggy, so be sure to pack tons of breathable, quick-wicking fabrics, and don’t forget to regularly replenish your fluids. Winters, however, can be surprisingly damp and cold. Come prepared, and no matter what your plans – whether they be trips to the Hubei Provincial Museum, or walks along the riverfront, you’ll be in for a good time the whole of your stay.
