This is the best value hotel in Taiyuan.
HoTEL-Sheraton Taiyuan【Recommended】|
|▷The hotel is new, the room【Executive Suite】is spacious and atmospheric, with a partition layout, which is convenient to use. I live on the 7th floor. The floor is not very high, but the orientation is not bad, the view is open, and the overall is good.
▷The afternoon tea in the lounge is not self-service, a set of two desserts and fruits, the product is online. The coffee is also delicious and of good quality. The cocktail🍸in the evening is better than some BARs. Although I only ordered the basic style, this ratio is still very professional!【The service in the lounge is really good! Several ladies and a young man, all the way whispering and professional, it is a bit hard to see them busy🙇♀️】
▷Welcome fruit is especially attentive! Not a traffic light🚥!
▷The gym is relatively large, the equipment is relatively complete, and it is surprising that it is equipped with a stretching bed and a fascia gun
▷Breakfast recommends mutton soup and freshly made waffles! There is a lot of meat in the mutton soup! The waffle is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with cream and Oreo crumbs, it is an ultimate enjoyment, I ate two servings by myself.
◆（Just moved in from Hilton Garden, Hilton's room is very cramped, breakfast management is chaotic, tableware is not provided, the food is stewed in a big pot, the service is not available all the way, the noodles are not given twice, it may be more bitter during the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the way down. Only the front desk has some services）

The theme hotel "Follow Wukong to Shanxi" is here.
Another wave of black mythology has made our Shanxi popular again. The 5,000-year-old Shanxi has finally waited for you all. However, Shanxi tourism has been silent for many years. There are not many high-end characteristic hotels and homestays to choose from. Where to stay after arrival, as a local editor in Shanxi, I must arrange for you all.
Datong Tongshe Waji Meisu (Huayan Temple Store)
The newly opened Tongshe Waji Meisu in Datong is quite popular recently, because of its location, the gate is the thousand-year-old ancient temple Huayan Temple, and the lobby window view is amazing! The next Datong will have high-end Anlu, Kaiyue Zhenxuan, and Jixiashan.
Taiyuan Maoye JW Marriott Hotel
Taiyuan 2024 just opened JW Marriott, the opening time is just right, the hotel is in the core area of Taiyuan, the business district and attractions are very convenient to reach, you can overlook the style of this ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties in the city's high altitude, the luxury experience of Longcheng can't miss Marriott!
In addition, Taiyuan Sheraton Hotel, Taiyuan InterContinental Hotel, and Taiyuan Kempinski Hotel, which are located in the core location of Taiyuan, can also be selected!

Budget travelers will cry tears of joy, staying at this hotel in Taiyuan is a must!
🏠 Check-In | CHECK-IN
No renovation odor. The building has a total height of 15 floors, with a cramped lobby space. To the left is the front desk concierge, to the right is the lobby bar, and straight ahead are the elevators.
I stayed in an executive suite this time, with the new Sheraton style, fully automated curtains throughout the house, and Toto washlets in both the master and guest bathrooms. The bathroom is spacious with double vanity sinks, a Samsung TV, and Bose sound system. The walk-in closet is connected to the vanity, equipped with a mini-fridge with a makeup mirror, very lady-friendly. The glass is well soundproofed, and you can hardly hear the noise from the overpass at the door. Overall, the hardware is solid, no major flaws, and the configuration is top-notch.
The room has two downsides,
① The hairdryers in the room and the swimming pool changing room are 'Dyson-style' (not Dyson), and they feel a bit off to the touch. Sure enough, there's something a bit off about them...
② The welcome card in the room shows signs of multiple uses, starting with 'Dear Guest' and signed 'Room Service Staff', which is quite surprising. It seems like the responsibility of maintaining relationships has fallen on the service staff, where is the guest relations department... In fact, a perfunctory card that's been used multiple times is better off not being placed at all.

🍚 Food & Drink | FOOD&DRINK
The executive lounge is on the 12th floor, afternoon tea is served portion by portion and not self-served, you can ask for more if you want. The desserts are average, and the fruits are of normal standard; happy hour is very simple and plain, didn't feel like eating there so went out instead. The lounge is equipped with a beverage service station, but it's not always manned, and you need to go around to get drinks when there's no staff... There are quite a few staff members, but they can't always stand up and greet you when you come and go, and the service coordination needs to be strengthened.
The breakfast is on the 1st floor, with a rich variety and decent taste, including some local specialties. The landscape of Binhe No.1 Community, without these high-rises, gives a bit of a resort hotel feel.

✊🏻 Facilities | FACILITIES
Located on the -1st floor, I didn't have high expectations at first, but it actually exceeded them. The swimming pool is up to the flagship hotel standard, with good water quality and comfortable temperature, and there's a constant temperature massage hot pool next to it. The changing room is equipped with a sauna. On the first day, I forgot to bring a swimming cap and goggles, and the staff proactively offered them to me for free, which was quite shocking. When I was changing and about to leave, the staff (apparently the department manager) asked me about my experience and suggestions. I said it was really great and made a small detail suggestion. The next day when I came back, I saw that it had been addressed. Such efficiency for a detail that doesn't affect the actual experience made me see this as a highlight of the Sheraton in Taiyuan.
The gym equipment is from Life Fitness, smooth to use, and sufficient for regular training.

🏞️ Scenery | SCENERY
In your spare time, you can take the subway at the door to 'Kaihua Temple Station' and stroll around Zhonglou Street, which is operated by China Resources and is quite decent.
To the west, you can visit the ancient Taiyuan County, Jinci Museum; if interested, there are also Longshan, Mount Tai, and the Botanical Garden to choose from.
If you want to shop nearby, Longcheng Wanda is the closest, but to be honest, it's not as good as Wanda Mall.

You can always trust the quality of Sheraton, which is definitely not to be missed
The hotel is located in the core development area of Taiyuan City - Xiaodian District, Longcheng Street, about 8 kilometers from Taiyuan High-speed Railway South Station, 10 kilometers from Taiyuan Wusu International Airport, and next to it is the Taiyuan City Metro Line 2, just 100 meters away. The location is very advantageous with convenient transportation, making it very suitable for both business trips and leisure travel.
The interior design is inspired by Shanxi's traditional culture and ancient architecture. The check-in background in the lobby is an art piece that symbolizes 'connecting the world'. It is made of various shades of rubies and crystal beads from Shanxi's rich mineral resources, forming an abacus. The 4999 beads constitute an abstract image of Mount Tai, the foremost mountain under heaven. This reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of the owner, Shanxi Dongtai Energy Group, and promotes the innovative spirit of 'daring to lead the world' that Mount Tai represents. This spirit is presented through the art of three-dimensional installations, showcasing classic Jin merchant cultural elements. In the hotel's public areas, restaurants, and guest rooms, you can see many such artistic decorations, revealing the charm and culture of Shanxi.
Connected to the lobby is the core space of Sheraton's new guest experience, &More by Sheraton Coffee Bar, with a modern and fashionable atmosphere. It combines the refreshed design features of shared long tables (The Community Table), studios (The Studios), phone booths (The Booths), and a vibrant and welcoming complete and open space that includes a bar and coffee shop, suitable for socializing or solitude.
In terms of dining, in addition to the &More by Sheraton Coffee Bar, there is also the Chinese restaurant 'Yue Kitchen' and the all-day dining restaurant 'Food Time'. Additionally, the Sheraton Executive Club, a private space specially designed for Marriott Bonvoy Elite members and guests staying on the executive floors, is also in operation. Its uniquely designed Oval Bar not only showcases and provides cocktails and selected fine wines for guests, but guests can also participate in mixing their own cocktails.
The hotel has a total of 246 guest rooms & suites, with a light wood color design and soft and simple interior style, creating a fashionable and modern sense, comfortable and warm. The hardware is quite impressive, with rooms featuring an intelligent integrated guest control system, a 65-inch widescreen LCD TV, and JBL Bluetooth speakers, custom SERTA mattresses, Duravit custom bathroom facilities, Gilchrist & Soames brand bath products, etc. During this stay in the 90 square meter executive suite, I discovered a vanity table specially designed for women, and there is also a special beauty mini-fridge, which is very considerate.
The leisure facilities are also fully equipped. The fitness center is equipped with advanced aerobic and strength training equipment, and the indoor constant temperature swimming pool and the constant temperature massage pool within the swimming pool can help guests relieve fatigue and rejuvenate.
