Sofitel Zhongshan Golf Resort Nanjing, Nanjing

What great value and service. I'm an American traveling to China on Business. Once my business was complete here in Nanjing, I decided to stay on a few extra days so that I could visit the World Expo in Shanghai. I thought that I would simply show up at the Nanjing train station to purchase my ticket. However the astute front office manager (Leon Dong) wisely advised otherwise. Instead the Director of Sales & Marketing (Jane Wu) made a few calls and arranged train tickets for me to include written directions to hand to the cabby sinice I can't speak a lick of Chinese. The price was half what I found online at a website in English. I left one bag at the Sofitel while in Shanghai and when I returned for one final night, they gave me the same group rate that I received a week earlier. It's truly a beautiful resort which would cost probably $220 per night U.S but I got it for less than $100 which includes a complementry comprehensive breakfast buffet. This trip just sort of fell on my lap and I assure you I'm really not any one of importance although I was treated like a dignitary. As you can imagine, traveling alone without any Chinese language skills can be a little nervey. Nonetheless, it turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience in a largre part due to the Sofitel and there fine staff. I suspect you too will discover the same.
