Fodor's Expert Review Lakeview Xuanwu Hotel
193 Zhongyang Lu, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210009, China Fodor's Choice
With rich textiles, sleek furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows, the guest rooms at this welcoming hotel are fine for the price; ask for an east-facing room, and you'll be treated to rousing vistas of Xuanwu Lake and the wall surrounding Nanjing's old city. Making the location even nicer is the fact that there's a subway station just outside. If you don't feel like venturing far for dinner, the 20th-floor revolving restaurant serves an all-you-can-eat buffet with Western and Chinese dishes. The staff can help you arrange day trips around the city.
