Our family recently stayed in Hengqin, and we chose this Indigo hotel with its unique architecture. Overall, it felt like living in an exquisite riverside residence, offering immense comfort, though it had its pros and cons.
The hotel is built along the Tianmu River, boasting an elegant design. To capture its full grandeur in photos, you need to stand a bit further back. It's very close to Hengqin Port and Chimelong by car. Self-parking is free, and the concierge even helped us charge our car. If you prefer not to drive, there's a scheduled shuttle service, which is a great convenience when traveling with seniors and children. The pedestrian bridge in front of the hotel is perfect for evening strolls, offering a leisurely walk with a gentle breeze and river views – ideal for unwinding. Due to a typhoon, it rained quite a bit during our stay, but the covered walkways meant we didn't have to worry about getting wet. The lobby is warmly and elegantly decorated, without the overly commercial stiffness. The staff were kind and handled check-in at a relaxed pace. They even assigned us a room on a suitable floor and close to the elevator, considering I was traveling with an elder.
Our room was spacious with a large floor-to-ceiling window offering an unobstructed view of the river from the bed. The bedding was soft and breathable, though slightly damp. The toiletries were very moisturizing and didn't dry out the skin; my child particularly loved the scent. The soundproofing in the room was excellent, so the kids' activities didn't disturb anyone. The lighting had a suitable color temperature, perfect for reading before bed or simply relaxing, showing great attention to detail.
Breakfast was served in a riverside restaurant, where the window seats were very popular. Cantonese dim sum, congee, noodles, and various hot and cold dishes were all available and replenished promptly. The flavors catered to local tastes, and there was a wide selection of pastries and fruits that children love. In the evening, you can go up to the rooftop lounge to enjoy the night view. For leisure, there's also a heated pool and a gym, ensuring everyone in the family can find a way to relax.
Of course, there were minor drawbacks. This area is still under development, so there aren't many convenience stores downstairs, and food delivery can be a bit slow. Snacks and drinks in the room's mini-bar were chargeable, and room rates are higher during holidays. We also had to wait a bit to check in due to a queue.
Overall, this hotel offers thoughtful amenities and a livable environment, making it perfect for short family getaways or a brief stay in Hengqin and Macau. If you don't heavily rely on street-side convenience stores and value living comfort and scenic views, this would be a very suitable home-like accommodation option.
