This business trip to Shenzhen, I deliberately chose to leave enough free time and checked in the complete set of recreational facilities hidden in the building one by Guangdong Hotel Shenzhen. Only then did I realize that many people only treat it as a business hotel to stay in, completely missing out on the treasure experience hidden here that can dispel a whole day's fatigue.
What surprised me the most was the 24-hour indoor heated swimming pool. The swimming pool adopts a fully floor to ceiling glass design, allowing sunlight to shine on the water surface during the day, creating a sparkling atmosphere without the oppressive feeling of a confined space. The water temperature remains stable at 28 degrees throughout the year, and even in the early autumn weather, the water does not feel cold. The water quality is so clear that the anti slip patterns on the bottom of the pool can be clearly seen. The rest area by the swimming pool is equipped with free ginger tea and dry towels. After swimming 1000 meters, come up and have a drink, and the warmth spreads throughout the body. Even the back pain and soreness accumulated by customers during the day have been relieved by half. What's even more considerate is that the swimming pool is equipped with a separate parent-child shallow water area, allowing guests with children to play in the water with peace of mind, without worrying about mutual interference.
Adjacent to the swimming pool is a 24-hour self-service gym, so you don't have to rush for business hours. Even if you work overtime until early morning, you can still practice for half an hour. All the equipment is imported professional models, from treadmills and elliptical machines to high-level pull-out devices and dumbbell stands, fully equipped to meet the needs of daily strength training. The wall of the gym is equipped with a full floor mirror, making it easy to adjust movements in front of the mirror. In the corners, there are also direct water dispensers and disinfectant wipes, making it easy to clean the equipment after practice. The details are particularly well done. I came to exercise at 7 o'clock in the morning for two consecutive days, and the whole space was quiet and not crowded, without the embarrassment of crowded chain gyms.
The most surprising experience is undoubtedly the Chinese style therapy center provided by the hotel. The day before, three clients had sore legs and couldn't lift them. They booked an hour long ancient shoulder and neck massage, and the therapist applied just the right amount of force, accurately pressing onto the tight acupoints. The massage made the whole person feel relaxed. After the event, a free cup of warm mulberry parasitic tea was provided, which is an authentic Cantonese health flavor with fewer marketing tactics compared to outside health clinics. The whole process was peaceful and focused on relaxation, without any disturbance.
Finally, I also checked in at the hotel's snooker and chess rooms on the way. The tablecloth of the pool table was flat and smooth, and the feel of the cue sticks was particularly good. I played two games with my friends and didn't have to take a detour to find a room. I could easily pass the evening's free time in the hotel. The chess and card room is spacious, well ventilated, and completely free from the smoke smell of enclosed spaces. When inviting clients for a small sit down, the relaxed atmosphere is much smoother than discussing business in a conference room.
Previously, when staying in a hotel, I used to think that recreational facilities were just set up to make up for the numbers. However, this time at Guangdong Hotel Shenzhen, I realized that every facility here is not just a facade, from opening hours to detailed configurations, it is all considered from the perspective of the guests. You can satisfy all your needs for exercise, relaxation, and socializing without leaving the hotel. Even if you are tired from business trips, you can find your own relaxing moments here.Show more
