Encounter the Light Luxury Aesthetics by the Yichang Riverside: A Complete Stay Record at Weiyangju French Suite

From the moment I stepped into Weiyangju City Homestay, I was amazed by the light luxury atmosphere it created. As a standalone homestay located by the Yangtze River, it perfectly blends modern design aesthetics with Yichang’s natural and cultural landscape. The French suite I stayed in fully embodied this light luxury feel, offering an ultimate leisurely living experience. 1. Love at First Sight: A Light Luxury Space Full of French Charm Weiyangju is situated in a prime location along the Yichang riverside, adjacent to the millennium-old natural tower. From the riverside view, the three-story building’s exterior is simple yet elegant, with curtain walls and natural stone reflecting interlaced light and shadows under the sun. Taking the dedicated elevator directly to the third-floor reception area, the moment the elevator doors opened, the marble floor gleamed magnificently, and artistic chandeliers hung gracefully in the air. Combined with various unique decorations and lighting, the space exuded a warm yet upscale ambiance. The staff greeted me with friendly smiles, and during check-in, guests could enjoy a complimentary signature cocktail or coffee at the Yun Yao Bar while gazing out at the ten-mile riverside gallery, easily receiving their room cards in a relaxed atmosphere. Opening the suite door, the scene before me was stunning. The overall space featured noble white and French red as the main colors, paired with highly artistic furniture and accessories, radiating a strong sense of light luxury. The suite was divided into three independent areas: dining and living area, bedroom area, and washroom and makeup area. Each space was spacious and comfortable, making me linger in admiration. The living room was furnished with high-end leather sofas, with fresh flowers and aromatherapy on the coffee table. The floor-to-ceiling window brought the Yangtze River’s beautiful scenery fully indoors, making the Yichang river view and cityscape the room’s most beautiful decoration. 2. Angels Hidden in Details: Super Comfortable Hardware Facilities Unlike ordinary hotels, Weiyangju’s suite features a dedicated dining and living area, with the dining area, living room, and bedroom all independently zoned. The four-person marble and solid wood dining table and chairs accommodate dining, meetings, and family homework needs. Next to the dining table is a water bar area, convenient for tea brewing and meal preparation. The water bar is equipped with a hidden double-door large refrigerator, offering a variety of complimentary beverages. The living room area has high-end multi-person and single sofas made of soft leather, suitable for sitting or lying down comfortably. A large-screen TV provides more audiovisual entertainment. The bedroom facilities were equally impressive. In front of the leather padded headboard, a super king-size bed measuring 2m by 2m dominated the visual center. It used Simmons mattresses, the same brand as the ultra-luxury Armani Hotel in Dubai, offering strong support and conforming to body curves. Paired with two types of rubber pillows, soft and firm, it allowed me, who often suffers from pain-induced insomnia, to sleep soundly. A full-wall wardrobe effectively eased my wife’s outfit-changing anxiety, fitting a full suitcase of clothes. The nearly 20-square-meter independent bathroom was another highlight of the suite. The toilet and shower were separately enclosed, and the double sink design avoided waiting time for the hosts. Besides the independent shower room, there was also a luxurious bathtub, perfect for soaking in a hot bath to instantly relieve travel fatigue. From shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer, all toiletries were selected from high-end brands, emitting a herbal essential oil fragrance that made bathing relaxing and enjoyable. Even more thoughtful was the temperature-adjustable drying rack in the bathroom, convenient for drying clothes. Countless tasteful and attentive details at Weiyangju amazed me: the angels are hidden in the details. 3. Exclusive Butler Service: More Thoughtful and Warm Service Experience At Weiyangju, the meticulous service also left a deep impression. The hotel assigned me an exclusive butler. During my stay, the butler regularly inquired about my needs and promptly replenished room supplies. Knowing I was interested in Yichang cuisine, she enthusiastically recommended nearby specialty restaurants and must-try dishes. When I went out sightseeing, the butler proactively helped receive packages and kept them safe. Notably, Weiyangju offers a coffee delivery service to rooms, allowing me to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee whenever I wanted. Returning to the homestay at night, I was pleasantly surprised to find thoughtful bedtime snacks and a handwritten blessing card on the bed. This feeling of being cared for was heartwarming. At checkout, staff helped carry my luggage and even gave my child a favorite souvenir. These sincere and warm services perfectly concluded my stay at Weiyangju. 4. Romance Under the Night Sky: Yun Yao Bar with Fine Wine and Music Yun Yao Bar is located on the third floor of Weiyangju, adjacent to the reception area. The bar is elegantly and exquisitely decorated, offering a variety of Chinese and foreign alcoholic beverages and freshly brewed coffee. As the day ends and night falls, gathering with friends here for drinks while romantic jazz music plays and the riverside night view sparkles in the lights makes one feel immersed in a dreamlike atmosphere. Since its opening, Yun Yao Bar has become Yichang’s most elegant fashion hotspot and a popular check-in spot for trendy beauties. Besides drinks, Yun Yao Bar also offers coffee and afternoon tea. Sitting on the riverside terrace, savoring beautifully crafted desserts paired with a pot of richly aromatic coffee while watching boats pass on the river, enjoying a leisurely afternoon is extremely pleasant. Not only is there the romance of Yun Yao Bar, but for cigar lovers, Weiyangju also provides a private cigar bar where one can conduct business meetings while savoring world-renowned cigars. My stay in the French suite at Weiyangju City Riverside Homestay in Yichang left me with a wonderful and unique impression, whether it was the elegant French light luxury environment, the comfortable and complete hotel facilities, or the thoughtful and warm butler service. It is not only a resting place during travel but also a light luxury experience combining aesthetics and sensory enjoyment. If you come to Yichang, consider choosing Weiyangju to encounter a romantic and wonderful time of joyful living. (Author: The first guest to stay at Weiyangju — Yuan Lu)
