This early flight took me out of town and I specifically chose to stay at Sichuang Airlines Golden Panda Hotel. After leaving the T3 of the capital airport, the pre arranged pick-up driver was already waiting at the exit holding a sign. He took the large suitcase in my hand and stopped steadily at the hotel entrance in less than ten minutes, without any sense of rushing late at night.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I was greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere. Decorative paintings with Sichuan brocade patterns hung in the high ceilinged space, and the bamboo shaped lights next to the elevator lit up softly. The golden panda elements in the pillows and wall details were everywhere, completely devoid of the hurried feeling of ordinary airport hotels. The girl who checked in at the front desk smiled and handed me her room card. She also reminded me of the drop off flight for the next morning. Before leaving, she stuffed a canvas bag with a panda pattern, saying that it would be perfect for carrying a boarding pass and small items.
The standard room I live in is over thirty square meters, with dark wood grain and beige soft furnishings that look particularly comfortable. The 28 inch suitcase is spread out at the back of the bed, leaving plenty of space. USB and power sockets are densely arranged next to the dual control switch at the head of the bed. After rushing all the way, I collapsed on the bed to charge all my electronic devices, saving even the trouble of finding plugs. The sound insulation effect of the three-layer insulated glass far exceeds expectations. Even if it is close to the airport, you can hardly hear the sound of planes taking off and landing when you close the window. The thick blackout curtain pulls, and the room instantly turns black, so you don't have to worry about waking up early in the morning.
The details of the bathroom are particularly solid, with the glass partition separating dry and wet seamlessly, without any water overflowing. The mirror cabinet comes with a defogging function, making the mirror clean and refreshing after taking a shower. The only small tip to mention is that the faucet should slowly turn from the cold water side to the hot water side, otherwise it is easy to get scalded. This is a small experience that I only found out after living there. Auntie cleaned with extra care, even the gaps between the floor tiles were wiped clean, the towels were fluffy and odorless, there was no trace of fine hair on the bedding, and there was no problem with the hygiene details.
The convenience level of the hotel far exceeds expectations. There is a convenience store next to the lobby, and takeout will be delivered directly to the room door by robots, without the need to go downstairs. The Sichuan restaurant on the first floor is full of fireworks, so you don't have to fuss about finding a restaurant to catch the late flight landing. You can order a few authentic Sichuan style side dishes, and your fatigue will dissipate with just one bite. The next morning, I took the pre arranged bus to the airport, and the driver specifically reminded me to bring my personal identification. The whole process went smoothly, as if all the small troubles had been properly caught.
Having stayed in so many hotels around the airport, it is rare to encounter a place that is so full of a sense of security. There is no flashy internet celebrity design, but it takes care of all the essential needs of transit passengers, exhibitors, and business travelers just right. Next time I come to Beijing to catch a red eye flight or an early flight, I will definitely consider Sichuang Airlines Golden Panda Hotel as my first choice for accommodation.Show more
