{"type":"city","city":"Nanjing","citySlug":"nanjing","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/china/nanjing","description":"Nanjing carries more history per square kilometer than almost any city in China, and that weight shows up in its architecture — in the Ming-era city walls that still ring the old quarters, in the Republican-era avenues lined with plane trees, and in the tension between a city that was once the nation's capital and one that has spent decades asserting its modernity. The Ritz-Carlton Nanjing sits in Xuanwu District, the city's geographic and symbolic core, at the northern edge of Xuanwu Lake and close to the old palace ruins. Its tower position gives upper floors an orientation toward the water and the forested slopes of Purple Mountain beyond, and for anyone whose instinct is to notice how a building sits within its surroundings, this is the most spatially rewarding address in the city. Xuanwu is also where Nanjing's government institutions, cultural venues, and Republican-era streetscape concentrate, making it the right base for reading the city's layered civic identity.\n\nJianye District, to the west across the Qinhuai River, is a different proposition entirely. This is where Nanjing's contemporary commercial ambition has landed most visibly, in mixed-use towers, financial district infrastructure, and the Greenland Nanjing complex where the Fairmont Nanjing operates. The Fairmont occupies a high position in a tower development near the Yangtze River corridor, and its address reflects Jianye's function as the city's new business center rather than its historical one. Travelers here are typically oriented toward the city's corporate life or toward Nanjing South Station connectivity, and the hotel serves that purpose competently at a rate below the Ritz-Carlton's.\n\nSouth of the old city, Yuhuatai District takes its name from the Rain Flower Terrace, a site of historical solemnity that gives the area a quieter, less commercially pressured character. The New Jingli Hotel operates here at the most accessible price point in this portfolio, suited to visitors whose priorities are proximity to the southern historic sites rather than tower views or business district convenience. Further out, in Jiangning District to the southeast, the Nanjing Jiangning Autograph Collection represents the Marriott brand's mid-tier design sensibility in a suburban setting that functions primarily for travelers connecting to the university district or the southern development zones. Jiangning is not where Nanjing's architectural character concentrates, but for extended stays or specific geographic needs, the Autograph Collection offers a reasonable middle position between price and finish.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

From the street at dusk, the building presents a cool blue-glazed facade articulated by bronze-toned mullions and a swept canopy with brass detailing that signals ceremony without quite resolving the gap between its contemporary envelope and the Beaux-Arts ambitions within.\n\nStep inside and the register shifts entirely. A double grand staircase in pale limestone, its treads upholstered in deep royal blue and its balustrades wrought into geometric medallion ironwork with gilt accents, anchors a coffered lobby whose scale borrows from early twentieth-century European palace hotels. The bar beyond it is lined with grey-veined marble columns arranged in arched colonnades, the floor inlaid with Art Deco-inflected geometric patterns in contrasting stone. Guest rooms carry the classical language more lightly — duck-egg blue panelled walls framed by white plaster mouldings, tufted cream headboards on dark mahogany four-poster frames, and pale ash-toned timber floors that keep the palette from tipping into heaviness. The overall effect is closer to a contemporary Chinese interpretation of the grand European hotel tradition than to any specific Western precedent, assembled with considerable material confidence and a deliberate appetite for ceremonial space.","snippet":"Nanjing hotel that frames the tension between modernist curtain-wall and Beaux-Arts palace interiors through limestone staircases and Art Deco geometry.","bestFor":"Travelers who read buildings and classical architecture","vibe":"Palatial-contemporary · ceremonial","highlights":["Double grand staircase in pale limestone with gilt ironwork","Blue-glazed curtain-wall facade with bronze mullions and brass canopy","Art Deco geometric stone floors and marble colonnades in lobby"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$101","pricePerNightExclTax":"$101","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ul4ud01hp15zv48ya7fbs1713358970884_accb46aa-1f19-41a8-b623-8a90d98a38d2.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"New Jingli Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · New Jingli Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of New Jingli Hotel captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ul8as01zj15zv98m9nhji1713358971621_27246654-38ab-470f-923b-beceaaf9bff3.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"New Jingli Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · New Jingli Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at New Jingli Hotel, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulbc602hj15zvj1l9ri6c1713358972240_0974e262-b251-4d01-baab-595a6c083ce8.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"New Jingli Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · New Jingli Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at New Jingli Hotel — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulea702yy15zvq9jq29cx1713358973590_5deec4c6-c198-47c6-b932-e6eff9440b2a.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"New Jingli Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · New Jingli Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at New Jingli Hotel, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulh3s03gn15zvhz5y2j0o1713358972903_69605984-f026-4e17-8c79-756484103cc2.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"New Jingli Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · New Jingli Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at New Jingli Hotel — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Fairmont Nanjing","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/china/nanjing/fairmont-nanjing","city":"Nanjing","cityHeader":"Nanjing • Jianye District • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Jianye District","loyaltyProgram":"ALL - Accor","designSummary":"A faceted glass tower rising from Nanjing's Jianye District, its curtain wall folded into sharp diagonal planes that catch and fragment the city light, provides the Fairmont Nanjing with one of the more architecturally assertive silhouettes among China's post-2010 luxury hotel openings. The tower, which climbs to roughly 60 floors and delivers the hotel its guest rooms from around the 30th floor upward, was designed to read as a crystalline landmark against the skyline — a gesture toward Nanjing's ambitions as a financial and cultural counterweight to Shanghai. The hotel's 393 rooms and suites are positioned high enough that floor-to-ceiling glazing functions less as a design choice than a geographic statement, the Yangtze River plain and the city's dense residential fabric spreading in every direction.\n\nInside, the interiors move between registers with some confidence. Guest rooms carry warm tobacco leathers, macassar ebony-toned millwork, and teal-and-amber botanical-patterned carpets that soften what could otherwise be a coldly corporate tower aesthetic. The bar and lounge spaces push considerably harder — a faceted gold ceiling overhead, dark emperador marble columns, crystal bead curtains cascading from above, and deep aubergine velvet seating arranged around low walnut tables. The indoor pool on an upper floor achieves something genuinely striking: a sculpted white undulating ceiling, lit from within like a frozen wave, runs the full length of the lap lane, flanked by grey veined marble and pendant glass chandeliers that descend in luminous columns toward the water's surface.","snippet":"A faceted glass tower with rooms overlooking the Yangtze River plain and a sculptural lit pool.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts visiting Nanjing's financial district","vibe":"Crystalline-contemporary · commanding","highlights":["60-story faceted glass tower with diagonal curtain wall planes","Guest rooms from floor 30 with Yangtze River plain views","Pool with sculpted undulating ceiling lit from within"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$186","pricePerNightExclTax":"$186","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ul7cd01ut15zvxttu11xq1713362672016_f0680a6b-f947-4e21-bb39-4650d9fce0be.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Fairmont Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Fairmont Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Fairmont Nanjing captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulam402cs15zv1o8c18q01713362672515_6a93230a-07de-436c-8a0c-b20c0e70cdd9.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Fairmont Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Fairmont Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Fairmont Nanjing, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uldk402u915zvfbcezl9m1713362673191_682505e5-0c0c-49b7-a205-216dd6a45074.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Fairmont Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Fairmont Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Fairmont Nanjing — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulgeq03c115zvl4vi25wa1713362674498_75f262ff-0f9e-4eed-934f-28f371e8bd82.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Fairmont Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Fairmont Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Fairmont Nanjing, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uljdx03tt15zvdereu0y51713362673825_2f4b45c5-36c1-491a-a4fa-f8753917c73e.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Fairmont Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Fairmont Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Fairmont Nanjing — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/china/nanjing/the-ritz-carlton-nanjing","city":"Nanjing","cityHeader":"Nanjing • Xuanwu District • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Xuanwu District","loyaltyProgram":"Marriott Bonvoy®","designSummary":"Rising above Xuanwu Lake and the ancient city walls that have defined Nanjing's skyline for six centuries, a curtain-wall tower sheathed in jade-green glass positions The Ritz-Carlton Nanjing as an unambiguous landmark in a city acutely conscious of its own layered history. The hotel is set within Zifeng Tower, one of the tallest buildings in China at the time of its completion in 2010, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill — the same practice whose vertical ambitions shaped much of modern Chicago. Accommodating 68 floors and around 285 guest rooms and suites, the property uses elevation as its primary design argument: the aerial bar and lounge, visible in the images here, deploys floor-to-ceiling glazing to frame the city's mountains and lake in a composition no ground-level property could approach.\n\nThe interiors draw their visual language from classical Jiangnan culture — the refined aesthetic tradition of the Yangtze River delta — translated into lacquered ebony millwork, gold-brass hardware, and pale celadon headboard panels carrying ink-wash calligraphy that evoke Song dynasty brushwork without reproducing it literally. Octagonal coffered ceilings in the suites reference traditional Chinese timber architecture, while the indoor pool chamber brings dark stacked-stone walls and latticed timber ceiling panels into dialogue with a contemporary lap pool. Woven rattan daybeds and dark granite deck surfaces anchor the space without softening its ceremonial atmosphere. It is a hotel that treats altitude and cultural heritage as twin obligations rather than competing ones.","snippet":"SOM-designed tower above Xuanwu Lake with Jiangnan-inspired interiors and a 68th-floor aerial bar.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and collectors of Asian design","vibe":"Vertical-refined · culturally-rooted","highlights":["SOM-designed tower with jade-green curtain wall above Xuanwu Lake","Interiors reference Jiangnan tradition via lacquered ebony and celadon panels","68th-floor aerial bar frames mountains and ancient city walls"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$271","pricePerNightExclTax":"$271","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8yb4a012f85uw5th7w4801717079113522_550d8106-c402-43e4-b38d-3e83194cd38e.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8zfx001i185uwqwhzbm6z1717079106927_0da37927-95bf-4c2a-929e-7195dd84f0b2.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt90kzc01xn85uwzxxg73t81717079127929_24c68cf8-a6e5-47a9-aba1-4fa7784845e7.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt91ppp02d985uw4y5yelx31717079120114_b3f732d5-9be7-43f6-bf9a-8d680cf6243c.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt92ujj02sv85uwzj84rg401717079098317_71ad1622-f0be-40d0-ac2b-ce60cc5b965a.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/china/nanjing/nanjing-jiangning-autograph-collection","city":"Nanjing","cityHeader":"Nanjing • Jiangning District • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Jiangning District","loyaltyProgram":"Marriott Bonvoy®","designSummary":"Cradled within the forested hills of Nanjing's Jiangning District, where low mountain ridges fold into bamboo-dense valleys south of the city, this resort compound was conceived as a dialogue between landscape and architecture rather than a building imposed upon terrain. The Nanjing Jiangning Autograph Collection spreads across the site in a low horizontal campus — corten steel volumes alongside concrete cylinders and timber-screened facades visible in the aerial view — the massing deliberately broken into fragments so that greenery penetrates every courtyard and corridor. Dense bamboo groves push against the guest room blocks, blurring the boundary between cultivated interior and wild hillside.\n\nThe interiors shift register sharply depending on where you find yourself. Guest rooms deploy pale linen-toned timber panelling across the full wall plane, with dark walnut bed frames, geometric rugs anchored by terracotta arcs, and industrial-inflected pendant lights in glass and blackened steel — a palette of restrained warmth that keeps the eye moving to the bamboo visible through floor-to-ceiling glazing. The restaurant takes a bolder approach: a rippling plaster vault ceiling, deep rosso levanto marble banquettes, copper-pipe detailing along the open kitchen frame, and woven rattan dining chairs with burgundy leather seats. The spa, perhaps the most atmospheric volume in the property, runs beneath a sequence of recurring plaster arches that recede over an aquamarine mosaic pool, blown-glass sculptural forms resting at the water's edge like geological specimens retrieved from the surrounding hills.","snippet":"A hillside resort campus in Nanjing where corten steel volumes and timber screens dissolve into surrounding bamboo forest.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts exploring Nanjing's hillside landscape","vibe":"Landscape-integrated · serene","highlights":["Low-rise campus with corten steel and timber volumes nestled in bamboo groves","Guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling glazing framing dense forest views","Spa with arched plaster vault and aquamarine mosaic pool"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$125","pricePerNightExclTax":"$125","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8yqad018985uw0b84jndj1717079348412_f5f6c3fb-0679-4487-a8a5-0264cfb9f8dd.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8zve501nv85uwx8dimgph1717079362627_aad05f01-8d07-47e9-beca-4513b0f3e267.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt9106x023h85uwyylp2dx91717079369199_042fad14-96d3-41bd-8d3f-2282cea3f1ed.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt9251502j385uw6r8pp1kb1717079356702_cf72c2f5-c1b3-4ebe-ae46-5da4551ab61f.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt939qj02yp85uwq45rgtg11717079334395_5bc03e4b-59d8-43c8-8d81-757b7e0e2441.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Nanjing, Jiangning, Autograph Collection — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Yihe Mansions","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/china/nanjing/yihe-mansions","city":"Nanjing","cityHeader":"Nanjing • Gulou • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Gulou","loyaltyProgram":"","designSummary":"Twenty-six Republican Era garden villas, built in the 1930s and set within a walled 20,000-square-metre compound in Nanjing's Gulou District, form the fabric of Relais & Châteaux The Yihe Mansions.
