Pullman Properties in Beijing

On the high-speed train back home, with some free time, I'm jotting down a few thoughts, which also serves as a brief travelogue. The internet remembers everything; the first hand-drawn map of the Huihang Ancient Trail from 2003 or 2004 can still be found online! On August 19, 2026, I booked this Pullman Hotel in Beijing Daxing for a business trip. After a few hours on the high-speed train, I arrived at the hotel at 2 PM. The front desk informed me that no rooms were ready for occupancy and I'd have to wait an hour. Luckily, I booked an executive room, so I went up to the executive lounge on the 21st floor, which offers a free two-hour afternoon tea. Cindy, the lovely lady at the front desk, kindly escorted me up to the 21st floor and handed me over to a soft-spoken girl with glasses in the lounge before leaving. I ordered a coffee, had some fruit and pastries. After a short rest, a handsome young man with fluffy hair quietly told me my room was ready and handed me the room card. As I was about to head to my room with my luggage, the quiet girl with glasses thoughtfully reminded me that there was a complimentary buffet dinner from 6 PM to 8 PM. I went to my room to drop off my luggage and then went out for a stroll. Although Beijing was entering autumn in August, it was still a bit stuffy and hot. Back at the hotel, I lay on the bed for a while, rolled around, and then quickly headed to the lounge for the free dinner. When I entered the lounge, a few tables were already occupied. The dishes, though simple, were quite tasty. The dinner also offered complimentary alcoholic beverages: gin, rum, tequila, red and white wine, and iced Budweiser. This was great; not only did it save me dinner, but it also saved me a trip to a bar – convenient, cost-effective, and time-saving! I tried the tequila, and it tasted pretty good! After sampling a few Western spirits, it was beer time, and I started chatting with the fluffy-haired young man who had given me my room card earlier. He was a tourism major, a local, with good English pronunciation, and a distinctive hairstyle! As we chatted and drank, 8 PM, the closing time, quickly arrived. An elegant young lady gracefully floated in and, along with the fluffy-haired young man and the quiet girl with glasses, began clearing and cleaning the dining area. I casually asked where they were from, and she said Jiangxi. Oh, I couldn't help but think about the young ladies from Jiangxi; I heard that in some areas there, the dowries can be hundreds of thousands of yuan! It was a fleeting night, and these are just a few quick words. The hotel service was excellent, from the front desk to the lounge, and even the floor attendants who cleaned the rooms were all polite, courteous, enthusiastic, and thoughtful! It was a great experience! A big thumbs up! **Highlights:** * **Executive Lounge Afternoon Tea:** Great! Tea, coffee, pastries, and fruit. You can listen to music, read a book, ponder over things, and there's even a pool table nearby for a few games! * **Evening Delights · Executive Happy Hour (Selected Drinks and Exquisite Snacks):** A lovely small buffet, quiet with few people, and pleasant drinks. I suggest adding some peanuts to go with the drinks!
