A perfect blend of history, culture, and modern comfort

Staying at Xiangjiang Hotel in Changsha feels like embarking on a journey through time. This historic building, originally constructed in the early 1950s, was once the preferred accommodation for foreign guests in Hunan Province, carrying over seventy years of Hunan memories. The hotel preserves classic Soviet-inspired architectural features—red brick walls, glazed green tile roofs, and vintage spiral staircases—with every detail telling stories of old Changsha. As one of the first modern protected buildings in Changsha, it stands on the former site of the residence of He Jian, the "King of Hunan," exuding rich historical charm. What's even more delightful is how the hotel seamlessly integrates modern comforts while preserving its historical character. The rooms are equipped with central air conditioning, TVs, and other contemporary amenities, featuring medium-firm mattresses and zero-pressure pillows that significantly enhance sleep quality. The bathrooms have a dry-wet separation design, with rainfall showerheads and a full set of high-end toiletries emitting a subtle fragrance. Even the vanity mirror comes with a beauty-enhancing ring light, making it especially considerate for female guests. The service here is exceptionally thoughtful. From the moment you step into the lobby, the warm smiles of the staff make you feel at home. The front desk not only handles check-in efficiently but also offers freshly brewed coffee and Changsha travel guides, patiently sharing the hotel's history. The 24-hour butler service promptly attends to every need, while the goodnight sweet soup delivered before bedtime and the Hunan embroidery bookmark farewell gift upon departure reflect meticulous care in every detail.
