How This Light-Luxury Mid-Range Hotel Became an Influencer Hotspot

Xana Hotel, a well-known mid-range hotel brand of the Jinjiang Group in China, has opened 400 branches nationwide in just five years since its establishment. Jinjiang International is one of China's largest comprehensive tourism enterprise groups. In 2014, Xana Hotel's founder and CEO Lu Siyun created this light-luxury hotel with a focus on the special needs of female travelers. Tucked inside a lifestyle aesthetic gallery, this influencer haven has been dedicated to building a high-quality hotel brand. Xana Hotel has collaborated with internet brands such as Watsons, Aomybuy, Yixinli, and Liepin.com, offering guests a variety of experiences beyond accommodation. It breaks the mold of traditional hotels and constantly surprises guests with creativity. Since its inception, the hotel has won numerous awards, including the No.1 Annual Hotel Innovation Brand in the tourism and accommodation industry.

The hotel's name is derived from 'Xanadu,' a Western literary term for a magical place that is never forgotten, a palace built for oneself. Among its standouts, the Xana Hotel at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is a classic example, with its distinctive French-style design, color palette, and interior décor.

Stepping into Xana Hotel is instantly soothing. The layout is simple, and the bright, cheerful color combinations are a true delight. It's the kind of design that goddesses will fall in love with at first sight. Of course, simplicity does not mean bareness—Xana Hotel places great emphasis on quality. You could say that light luxury is seamlessly blended into its clean and uncluttered style. As a result, the hotel exudes a unique character inside and out, something truly worth sharing.

In the lobby, the lighting is always soft and warm. Whether the sun is shining brightly or clouds are gathering outside, the lobby stays perfectly lit, spacious, and spotless, a feast of comfort. Floor-to-ceiling bay windows gently slant the sunlight inside, while the LED fixtures are simply styled. During the day, it feels elegant; at night, it's cozy and serene. The built-in bookcases and round tables with chairs add a cheerful touch.

As a hotel dedicated to goddesses and gentlemen who respect women, a rich cultural ambience is a must. The walls, lights, colorful fabrics, and curtains are all specially designed and arranged, creating an atmosphere of utter tranquility. As evening falls, sit quietly by the window, a book in hand, a girl's skirt softly trailing onto the carpet, guests lost in their reading. The lobby is hushed, even the bustling pedestrian sounds outside are shut out by the white-paned glass.

Of course, considering that many female guests love spa baths above all else, Xana Hotel has designed special spa, massage, and essential oil treatments. While enjoying top-notch service, guests can also order a special flower tea. The fragrant jasmine wafts into the air, and a unique perfume fills the room.

After a relaxing massage and spa, your body feels at ease. Stroll into your room, where warm and friendly tips greet you everywhere. The staff at Xana Hotel always offer heartwarming smiles, and even a simple hello feels sincere. Inside the room, the layout is even more charming. The French-style décor is comforting, with floors, ceilings, and tables all blending harmoniously with the space. It's clear that the light-luxury design concept is much beloved.

Sink into the soft king-sized bed as the velvet bedding gently wraps up your tired body. As your body slowly nestles in, you feel utterly soothed and pampered. A subtle fragrance drifts from the throw pillows, intoxicatingly sweet.

If you choose a twin room, you can laugh and play with your best friend. Pull back the panoramic curtains, and the outside view rushes in. Night has slipped in without notice; the Guangzhou cityscape sparkles with lights, and the Canton Tower shines brilliantly in the distance. Down below, traffic flows like dragons; the night vistas all around are gorgeous. Here in southern China, such a night view adds a beautiful touch to your Guangzhou journey.

Gaze at the sky from the balcony, dotted with stars overhead and a gentle breeze blowing. Xana Hotel is located near Baiyun Airport, surrounded by lush, graceful greenery. Sometimes, you can faintly hear the rumble of planes on the runway—aircraft bound for all corners of the world, gliding into the sky. The room is spotless and tidy. On summer days, girls love walking barefoot inside. They savor the atmosphere, lively yet quiet. In the cool summer night, with twilight deepening, the silvery laughter of young women rings out. This is Xana Hotel's finest scenery, and the most poetic scene in our memories.

Of course, before bedtime, a good bath is a secret beauty ritual for any refined girl. Looking in the mirror at your beautifully made-up reflection, chatting and joking with your friend—this is the ultimate choice for deepening your bond. The in-room bath facilities are thoughtfully designed, with glass walls that reflect the loveliest images of the girls. They adore their well-dressed selves in the large mirrors, which often makes them reluctant to leave.

Night fades, dawn breaks. After a night of deep sleep, yesterday's worries and fatigue are completely gone. Wake up, lazily recline on a chair, brew a cup of Xana Hotel's signature flower tea, and leisurely browse the morning news.

As sunlight slowly streams in, most guests are waking up. Some lean against the soft bed, others stretch on the balcony. Before you know it, more guests head to the lobby for breakfast.

Xana Hotel offers both Chinese and Western breakfast options. There are cakes, cheeses, breads, juices, and alcoholic beverages. Those who prefer Chinese dishes can also enjoy authentic Guangzhou dim sum and various other specialties. It's worth noting that Xana Hotel's wine glasses are particularly stylish. Devoted to a quality lifestyle, the hotel strives to provide every guest with exquisite experiences—from the different glassware to the presentation of dishes. They have truly thought of every detail.

On the top floor, there are also meeting facilities for business travelers. So if guests have special requirements, this is the perfect workspace for white-collar workers on a trip. Even away from home, you needn't worry about any work issues. The hotel's comprehensive and thoughtful service has been recognized by an ever-growing target audience over the years. It's fair to say that more and more young travelers now prefer this type of hotel.

Currently, Xana Hotel is deeply favored by visitors. In the Guangzhou area, it has consistently enjoyed a high reputation, prompting many domestic and international travelers to specifically request Xana Hotel. In recent years, the hotel has also continuously innovated and renovated, expanding new room types and redecorating couple's rooms. Moreover, the array of delicious food options around the hotel is not to be missed, and there are many local attractions to enjoy.

Of course, Guangzhou boasts many fun spots worth visiting. If you want to explore Lingnan architectural features, I highly recommend the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Here, you can see the most complete folk decorative art of 'three carvings, three moldings, and one casting'—especially the nearly lost art of lime sculpture.

Luhu Park, located at the southern foot of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, is nestled between hills and water. Climb high for a panoramic view of the city. Originally part of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, Luhu Park is a large landscape garden park. Inside, clear waters and lush mountains are complemented by birdsong and fragrant flowers. A mixed forest of masson pine, Taiwan acacia, and bamboo makes spring and autumn seasons especially gorgeous.

Yuntai Garden, situated at the picturesque entrance of Baiyun Mountain, lies within the Santaishan Ridge tourist area on the southern side of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. It faces Guangyuan Road to the south and is connected to the Baiyun Cableway to the east. Backed by Yuntai Ridge of Baiyun Mountain, the garden is planted with rare flowers from China and abroad that bloom year-round, hence its name. It is one of the new scenic spots of Baiyun Mountain and a large-scale horticultural garden centered around ornamental flowers and trees, earning it the reputation of 'Pearl of the Flower City'.

If you have time to explore these places, I'd still recommend strolling around to relax and take in the sights—it's a lovely way to unwind.
