We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

RESPONSIBLE HOSPITALITY VERIFIED

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The sophisticated PuLi Hotel and Spa exudes a Zen vibe that’s more akin to a spa. Neutral hues, dark wood, spacious surroundings, black stone floors, textured fabrics and tasteful Eastern touches are found everywhere throughout the design-driven property.

Although the PuLi is situated in the heart of the busy Jing’an District, you’d never know it while inside the peaceful hotel. Nestled next to Jing’an Park, it feels like a nature retreat. Sit at the 105-foot Long Bar, which runs the length of the sleek lobby, to sip a cocktail while gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the trees. The second-floor PHÉNIX restaurant also looks out at the park while turning out well-crafted contemporary French cuisine. Or immerse yourself in the verdant surroundings in the spacious Garden Terrace, where you can sit among the bamboo and trees with a glass from one of the city’s largest wine and champagne menus.

Of course, the hotel also offers a beautiful infinity pool and spa that delight the senses with bespoke and organic relaxation treatments and provide an even more relaxing backdrop.

The hotel sits next to Jing’an Park, the renowned Réel shopping mall and the bustling West Nanjing. It’s also adjacent to Metro stations on lines 7, 2, and 14, making it a cinch to get just about anywhere in the city.
You’ll feel right at home at this urban resort from the luxurious library where you can curl up with a book to the stylish Long Bar and green garden terrace that beckon for a relaxing afternoon with a cocktail in hand.
