Chu Mei Ya in Guangzhou, the new C-position of the hotel

||For the last stop of the National Day holiday, I chose Chu Mei Ya between Mandarin Oriental and Chu Mei Ya, adding another top choice for my stays in Guangzhou. As someone who studied hotel management in university and worked at The Ritz-Carlton and Park Hyatt, although I've changed careers for many years, I still unconsciously retain some professional habits when staying at hotels. I'm used to calling Chu Mei Ya 'Jumeirah', which might be unfamiliar to most, but for us in the hotel management department, it's legendary, like the seven-star sail-shaped hotel in Dubai from the same hotel group. Before checking in, I was worried that my high expectations might lead to disappointment, but the actual experience far exceeded my expectations, and I was truly wowed. 1. Low-key. The entrance is a bit hidden, blocked by a pedestrian overpass, and the eaves and pillars are covered with green plants, making it hard to see the hotel's logo. 2. Luxurious. The lobby is decorated in dark tones, with two strands of orange Clivia hanging from the ceiling like waterfalls, full of artistic sense. There's no need to queue for check-in, the room cards are made of wood, special and tactile, and the hotel is very quiet and comfortable. The rooms are Chinese-style, with marble and solid wood, giving a sense of luxury and weight. 3. Clean. I didn't see any water marks or fingerprints on the cups in the room under the light, and there's no dust in places that can be touched by hand. After taking my child swimming, I found that the soles of the hotel slippers were very clean. 4. Details. The sanitary ware is by Duravit, the hairdryer is by Dyson, and the tea bags are by Twinings. 5. Warmth. Sweet soup, fruits, and cake were delivered to the room. 6. Surprise. I was upgraded to a better room for free, and although I haven't celebrated my birthday for many years, the hotel arranged for red wine to be sent to my room on my birthday, and also gave a cute camel plushie to my child, which made him very happy. In summary: Each hotel has its own style of decoration, but service is the core competitive strength of a hotel. Thank you to Vivian for her thoughtful and meticulous service, which was just right and not intrusive or overbearing. PS: I took the hotel slippers home, they are really comfortable~ I look forward to the next hotel that can compete with Chu Mei Ya for the C-position in my heart!
