About this place

The Grand Metropole Hotel is probably the most upmarket hotel in the city, as it caters to most foreign business visitors. All of the expected services and amenities of a luxury hotel are provided, and the friendly staff can also help arrange tours. The restaurant is hard to beat as well with an nicely stocked buffet for only 80 Yuan. Room rates are also rather reasonable considering the plush atmosphere, starting at around 400 RMB a night.

Directions: The hotel is located at the intersection of Wenchang West Road (文昌路) and Daxue South Road (大学南路), just west of the old stone Shita pagoda. Visit the hotel’s (Chinese) website for a map.
