Sheraton's debut in Jiujiang enhances high-quality business and leisure travel!
Jiujiang, Jiangxi finally has its first Marriott hotel - the Jiujiang Yuanzhou Sheraton Hotel. This marks Sheraton's first appearance in Jiujiang and the second Sheraton hotel in Jiangxi. The hotel is a renovated and upgraded version of the Jiujiang Yuanzhou International Hotel, which has been established in Jiujiang for 19 years. From the lobby and guest rooms to the restaurants, swimming pool, and gym, the hotel has undergone comprehensive upgrades in both brand and quality, making it the best hotel for business and leisure travelers in Jiujiang.
1. Jiujiang Yuanzhou Sheraton Hotel is located on the picturesque shores of Nanhu Lake, offering a pleasant environment and stunning lake views. Situated in a prime location in Jiujiang's city center, it provides convenient access to transportation, surrounding commercial areas, and various dining and entertainment options. In terms of transportation, it is 3 km from Jiujiang Railway Station and about 20 km from both Lushan Railway Station and Lushan Airport. High-speed rail provides one-hour access to nearby cities like Nanchang and Wuhan, ensuring excellent transportation convenience.
2. For sightseeing, the hotel is close to major attractions in Jiujiang, such as Pipa Pavilion, Xunyang Tower, Suojiang Tower, and Nengren Temple, all within a few kilometers by taxi, making it easy to explore the city's attractions. Further afield, Lushan Donglin Giant Buddha and Bailudong Academy are about a 40-minute drive away.
3. The hotel has been fully renovated according to Sheraton's renewed design concept. The interior design draws inspiration from the essence of Jiujiang's "Xunyang Culture" and "Bailu Academy Culture." The eye-catching decorative screen in the lobby, inspired by ancient book scrolls and bamboo slips, creates a cultural ambiance. The entire lobby is spacious and grand, with a two-story height, bright and airy, and a modern style.
4. The lobby adheres to the flexible and open characteristics of the renewed Sheraton, offering a high degree of shared space. The &More by Sheraton lobby bar, connected to the lobby, features shared long tables with built-in lighting, power outlets, and charging stations, ensuring business travelers can stay connected and work efficiently. The space also includes lounge seating and meeting areas, suitable for coffee, tea, afternoon tea, business discussions, and social gatherings.
5. The hotel has 187 guest rooms and suites, featuring a modern style with light wood tones and stylish furnishings. The lake-view rooms are highly recommended, offering panoramic views of Nanhu Lake. All rooms are equipped with Sealy mattresses, rainforest showers, KA bathtubs, TOTO and KOHLER bathroom fixtures, and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, ensuring a comfortable stay.
6. Dining options include a Chinese restaurant, the all-day dining restaurant "Shi Guang," the &More by Sheraton lobby bar, and an executive lounge. The Chinese restaurant "Henglu. Xunyang Yan" specializes in Jiangxi cuisine, along with Cantonese and Jiangsu-Zhejiang dishes, making it a fusion restaurant. When in Jiujiang, trying Jiangxi cuisine is a must, known for its delicious and flavorful dishes. Lushan potato braised beef brisket, Yuanzhou tea-smoked meat, stir-fried yellow beef, stir-fried Xihai prawns, and golden soup Wuning Xiaoshigui are all signature dishes. During my visit, I also tried a dish called Lushan stone ear, a type of edible fungus that grows on rocks at an altitude of 800 meters on Lushan Mountain. It is known for its high nutritional value and is stir-fried with salted pork and lettuce, resulting in a savory, fragrant, and slightly chewy texture.
7. The all-day dining restaurant "Shi Guang" currently only offers buffet dinner from Friday to Sunday. While it has the highest price in the city, it also boasts the best quality, setting a new standard for the local market. On Saturdays and Sundays, they also offer brunch, a pioneering concept in Jiujiang, introducing a new lifestyle and creating a relaxing weekend gathering experience. Additionally, the Western restaurant offers à la carte dining with both Chinese and Western menus, featuring well-prepared dishes and elegant presentation.
8. Leisure facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool with ample natural light, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for guests to enjoy a swim. The 24-hour fitness center is equipped with strength training equipment and treadmills. The changing rooms also feature an Ola light wave room for steam baths.
9. With the upcoming May Day holiday, reverse tourism is becoming a new trend, and Jiujiang is an excellent travel destination. Lushan Mountain is a must-visit. Whether you choose the hotel as your first stop in Jiujiang or your last stop after visiting Lushan, it's a wise choice. The hotel also offers various in-house experiences, including free intangible cultural heritage activities such as sachet making and scripture copying on weekends and holidays. As the best and only international five-star hotel in Jiujiang, Jiujiang Yuanzhou Sheraton Hotel provides an exceptional travel experience and is definitely worth a stay!
