This hotel can be regarded as the successor of Dunhuang Hotel. It is located closer to the airport, but it is indeed relatively remote for travelers. If you don’t drive by yourself, it is not convenient to travel because the hotel is really too big! It covers an area of more than 1,200 acres, with 6 buildings distributed among them. Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are guest rooms. The construction area of buildings 2 and 3 alone can kill more than 90% of hotels. Each building contains 5 rooms. There are indoor gardens with different themes and 3 atrium gardens, and the Tang-style building with only 2 floors has a per capita area that is luxurious. If you live in Building 3 and go to Building 2 for breakfast, the shuttle bus has to drive one kilometer. It's almost a kilometer from the hotel entrance to Building 3.
.
The hotel is next to Mingsha Mountain, but both the 1,200-acre public area and the interior of the building are rich in vegetation, green and shaded, with large vineyards and woods. I even saw fruitful banana trees! You can imagine how rare it is in a desert area. The hard-working gardeners start the maintenance and construction of the park early every morning.
.
The building is 4 stories high, but the room area is only 25 square meters. Generally, if you book a basic room in the off-season, you will be upgraded to a 50-square-meter deluxe double room in the second or third building. It is spacious enough. If you want to live more comfortably, the 75-square-meter room will be upgraded. The executive deluxe room is only about 1,200, which is equivalent to an open suite, and some rooms in the 3rd building of the hotel can directly see Mingsha Mountain (first picture), the view is really good.
.
This time I stayed in an executive deluxe room of 75 square meters. The room is decorated in a new Chinese style. It was opened in 2017 but is well maintained and does not feel old. The entrance screen is designed to ensure privacy in the room. Turn the corridor and there is an independent cloakroom on the left hand side. Enter the living room in front. , first there is the reception area and the office area. The standard desk is equipped with 2 chairs. There are also many porcelain and pendants with Chinese elements in the house. There is no partition between the living room and the bedroom. The bedroom is equipped with a bedside stool. The minibar has free water from Nongfu Spring and Lipton. The price of tea bags and instant coffee has dropped a bit. This is what the Northwest Hotel pays the least attention to. There is a refrigerator but no electricity.
.
The bathroom is spacious and has double basins. The bathtub is very comfortable. The spare parts are from a brand I have never seen before but they feel good. There are two sets. The shower system is very comfortable. The water volume is sufficient and the water is even and the top spray is large. The toilet has an American standard smart toilet. and phone holder.
.
Except for the shortcomings of the minibar, the guest room design and decoration materials are very online, reaching the level of JW Marriott. We originally planned to cooperate with Accor Group in 23 years and listed Pullman for management, but the management cost was relatively high. (4 million per year), so we couldn’t reach an agreement, and it’s a pity that this matter has been shelved. At present, the hotel Wi-Fi is still under the name of Accor. I only found out about it when I saw this. In fact, the hotel hardware is more than enough for Pullman. , it is not an exaggeration to list Sofitel. If it is listed, the hotel's reputation and business will be better. Of course, it would be better if it can be affiliated with the Marriott chain. Dunhuang currently does not have a major international chain.
.
The entire building of Building 4 is a wellness center, the conference room and banquet hall of Building 5, the staff dormitory and office area of Building 6, and a new Building 7 is currently under construction. The hotel rooms, concierge, front desk and other services are all good, and the breakfast is also Dunhuang. Best, hope it can be better in the future.
