This time I came to Longgang, Shenzhen for a business trip, and the three-day non-stop meetings made me stiff all over. I chose The Coli Hotel Shenzhenonly because it was close to the venue, but in the end, I was completely attracted by its recreational facilities. Even on the return trip, I felt relaxed all over, completely devoid of the fatigue I feel after previous business trips.
When checking in, the front desk specifically reminded me that guests can use all recreational facilities for free and are open 24 hours a day without reservation. I didn't pay much attention at the time, until the first day after an 8-hour matchmaking meeting, dragging my sore legs back to the hotel, I realized that the recreational facilities here were more thoughtful than many specialized resort hotels.
The first place to go is the 25 meter long indoor heated swimming pool, with clear water that allows you to see the blue markings on the bottom of the pool. The water temperature remains stable at 28 degrees Celsius all year round, and there is no piercing coolness when you first enter the water. The swimming pool is divided into a slow swimming area and a leisure area, with almost no people rushing to grab the way. I swam 800 meters in a row, and my tight shoulders and neck slowly relaxed during meetings during the day. Even the chaotic project plans in my mind sank slowly with the ripples of the water surface. Leaning back on the lounge chair by the pool after exhaustion, the waiter immediately handed over warm ginger tea and a dry towel. Even the quick drying towel for wiping hair was prepared in advance, and every detail was in order.
Next to the swimming pool is a 24-hour fitness center, equipped with a full set of imported strength and aerobic equipment that shine brightly. The treadmill is facing the entire floor to ceiling glass, and while running, you can look up and see the night view of Longgang city. I walked slowly on the elliptical machine for 40 minutes, and the nearby body measurement device could measure body fat and heart rate for free. Even the stretching guidance chart after exercise was posted on the wall, so I didn't have to worry about muscle strain caused by incorrect movements. The most surprising thing was the yoga area in the corner, covered with thick anti slip yoga mats, and equipped with elastic bands and yoga tiles next to them. I followed the video to do a 20 minute shoulder and neck stretch, and after driving continuously for three days, my neck, which would have been stiff and unable to turn, suddenly loosened.
What's even more surprising is the supporting facilities of the fitness center. The dry and wet steam rooms of the sauna are set up separately. After swimming, you can steam for 15 minutes and sweat all over your body, taking away the fatigue of the whole day. The massage area next to me also allows me to make an appointment with a professional therapist. The next day before going to bed, I scheduled a shoulder and neck massage for an hour and a half, and the technician accurately pressed the strain point where I have been sitting at my desk all year round. After pressing it, my sleep quality improved significantly, and I fell into a deep sleep within ten minutes of touching the bed.
I used to think that the recreational facilities in hotels were just decorations to make up for the numbers when I was on a business trip. But this time, after staying at The Coli Hotel Shenzhen, I realized that it really wants people on the road to rest peacefully. You don't have to go out specifically to find a gym or swimming pool. After the meeting, you can go downstairs and rub off your fatigue. This sense of relaxation is the most rare surprise when staying in a hotel for business trips. Next time I come to Longgang, I will definitely leave enough time to soak in the swimming pool here.Show more
