This hotel is absolutely divine!!

Prime location, exceptional experience | Maqo Hotel Changsha 📍Location Maqo Hotel Changsha is situated right in the heart of the city, adjacent to the IFS Mall's secondary tower. The hotel offers direct access to the IFS shopping center, with Huangxing Street and Taiping Old Street just a 10-minute walk away. Orange Isle and Yuelu Mountain are also just a few subway stops away, making the location truly unbeatable. 🗞️Hotel Info Opened in 2024, Maqo is a new lifestyle hotel brand under Wharf Holdings, joining the Changsha IFS hotel cluster alongside Niccolo and Park Hyatt. Like Niccolo, it is part of the GHA hotel alliance. 📤Check-In The hotel doesn’t have a dedicated drop-off area, as the entrance is part of the mall’s pedestrian zone. The concierge will greet you and guide you to the lobby upstairs for a fully digital, paperless check-in process via iPad. 🛏️Room The standard king room is 27 sqm, while the M1 room type and above feature bathtubs. The rooms boast a youthful, vibrant design with colorful accents. Amenities include a scented mist humidifier, wireless charging, comfortable bedding, and an automatic curtain system. The TV supports screen mirroring. 🍸Minibar The minibar offers two capsule coffees and custom tea bags daily, with stylish mugs. The fridge is empty, and the provided water is Bama Platinum Spring. 🛁Bathroom The bathroom in standard rooms is slightly compact due to the layout, with the shower and toilet on either side of the sink. The elegant bathroom design contrasts with the bold colors of the room, featuring Perricone MD B5 series toiletries. 🍜Dining Breakfast follows a "small but refined" concept, with an à la carte menu available. If the QR code doesn’t work, staff can take your order. The à la carte dishes are delicious, including local Changsha snacks, while the buffet selection is modest but decent. 🏋️Public Areas & Gym The hotel’s public spaces resemble a mini art gallery, showcasing rotating art installations. The 24-hour gym is well-equipped (though lacking a pool) and features a smart fitness mirror, along with complimentary bananas and lemon water. First Impressions of Maqo Hotel Changsha My first stay at Maqo was fantastic—its prime downtown location, right above IFS Mall, made it super convenient, even for concert-goers at nearby stadiums. The hotel’s youthful, modern vibe stood out, and I happened to visit during an event filled with cosplayers, creating a fun, anime-inspired atmosphere. 🏘️Room Types/Layout: Standard rooms are 27 sqm, while M1 and above start at 35 sqm (some with bathtubs). The design is modern and vibrant, though bathroom space is slightly tight. 🛌Amenities: Smart features include wireless charging, automatic curtains, and a fitness mirror. The 24-hour gym is well-stocked (no pool). Toiletries are Perricone MD B5 series, with custom tea and coffee. 💰Price: Starts at 500+ CNY, offering good value during off-peak seasons—a mid-to-high-end choice. 💗Tips: - Unbeatable location with easy transport and bustling surroundings. - Unique art-filled public areas, perfect for younger guests. - GHA Titanium members enjoy great perks when booking direct. - Standard rooms aren’t listed on the official site—check room details when booking.
