A niche check-in spot, Wen'an Horlicks Hilton Curio Collection by Hilton

The Hilton Group's niche brand Curio Collection by Hilton Tapestry currently has only three locations in Greater China: Taipei Times Residence, Horlicks in Wen'an, Hebei, and Lingshui Memu in Hainan, as well as the upcoming fourth location, Chengdu Pure Memu, set to open this year. Judging by the choice of location and decoration style, it seems to be on par with Marriott's Autograph Collection or IHG's Hotel Indigo, focusing on differentiated expression to showcase the individuality of independent hotels in different cities. Horlicks Hotel is located more than 80 kilometers south of Beijing Daxing Airport, within the Wen'an Luneng Ecological Resort, sharing Lake Heart Island with the neighboring Hilton. Compared to the Hilton, which follows the family resort route, Horlicks focuses on showcasing the core essence of the Curio Collection by Hilton, creating a boutique hotel escape from the city. The reception hall is not large, eschewing high ceilings and lavish decorations for lighting and elegant furnishings. On the first floor, there are also several relatively independent spaces with character, such as the lobby lounge and the Magpie Tree Club, each with its own outstanding temperament, quiet and serene. Very generous to Diamond members, with direct upgrades to suites without communication. The one-bedroom, one-living room, double-bathroom layout is spacious and well-proportioned, with an outdoor balcony overlooking the lake. The overall decoration style is simple and refined, with Morandi color aesthetics on point. Especially the linearly divided three-sided mirror above the washbasin, which is very impressive. Of course, there are flaws, such as the threshold between the living room and the balcony being abnormally high, which is easy to trip over. The shower drain has a back smell, and it's unclear whether this is an isolated issue with this room or a common problem. Perhaps due to the off-season, the restaurant was closed, and breakfast had to be had at the Hilton, which was only satisfactory in terms of filling up. As a boutique hotel without an executive lounge, even the Mini bar in the room was empty, which seemed a bit inhospitable. The gym is small, with no swimming pool, and although the neighboring Hilton has one, it was under maintenance. In short, aside from resting, there are almost no other experiences available in the hotel. In summary, it's worth checking out, suitable for a weekend getaway in the Jing-Jin-Ji area. Staying one night at each of the two hotels, and if you don't want the hassle, Horlicks is the more recommended choice.
