Under Ella's guidance, the two entered the courtyard which was neatly lined with a plethora of foliage on both sides.
However, what was even more eye-catching were the pillar and door beams primarily colored in vermilion red, accompanied by large red lanterns hanging aloft, and gray tiles.
The slanting sunlight of Yanjing fell on their shoulders, always evoking an illusion of a bygone era.
"The most frequented place by heads of state in the world, apart from Buckingham Palace in England, is the Waldorf."
As Ella continued inside, she explained, "Thus, our hotel is often requisitioned, especially this western courtyard suite where many leaders have stayed."
"So, is it possible that I've stayed in the same suite as Prince and other dignitaries?" Shen Yuan inquired.
Ella's smile deepened, "Mr. Shen, I can't disclose that due to confidentiality reasons. However, I can tell you that the western courtyard is not open to the public, and we only collaborate with a few banks, exclusively available to their private banking clients."
Unable to say meant tacit approval, Shen Yuan chuckled, thinking Ella was playing coy.
Walking up the stairs to the corridor, they pushed open the quaint folding doors, and the antique guest room immediately came into view.
On the small round table, a welcome gift was placed, consisting of two food boxes and two bottles of VOSS mineral water.
Inside the vermilion red food box, there were many traditional Yanjing pastries, while the slightly shorter box contained some fresh fruits.
Ella meticulously introduced them to the guest room, kitchen, spa room, private pool, and private gym.
Shen Yuan barely listened, his focus entirely on the decor.
Although the courtyard and corridor followed a traditional style with vermilion red as the main color,
Once inside the rooms, it actually was a blend of modern and classical, with faux-antique black flooring, extensive use of natural wood, with furnishings that were mainly square sofas and cabinets, and the walls adorned with numerous classical Chinese paintings.
At first glance, the place didn't look luxurious, nor was it very large, but inside and out, it profoundly reflected the classical beauty and historical essence of Huaxia.
No wonder it was chosen for foreign dignitaries, only such a place could highlight the grandeur of Huaxia's five-thousand-year-old culture. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⟡fire.net
Finally, upon reaching the bedroom, Shen Yuan found the bed's design quite unique because it had four posts at each corner, all interconnected at the top, forming a square-like cage.
Appropriately, Ella explained, "This is called a four-poster bed in ancient times, initially used for hanging bed curtains. Though not needed anymore, the design has continued."
She paused and then added significantly, "You two should understand this."
Shen Yuan curiously glanced at Ella, then turned to look at the class belle beside him, only to see her previously fair cheeks now blushing a deep red.
Shen Yuan then looked at the distinctly designed bed, vaguely comprehending something.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Fang, that almost covers the introduction of the room, do you have any questions?"
Shen Yuan turned to look at Fang Minhui, who, with flushed cheeks, shook her head.
"Alright then, let me introduce you to our hotel's special services next. The Western Courtyard Suite that you booked includes three meals, and our chef will come to prepare them for you."
"Of course, if you prefer to eat out or if you wake up late in the morning, just let us know."
"There's also the spa treatment; we have experienced spa therapists. If needed, they can come and provide spas services, but this would be charged extra."
Shen Yuan looked at Fang Minhui, "Didn't you want to have a spa? Shall we call for two therapists?"
"Sure, but are they male or female therapists?"
Fang Minhui was unfamiliar with spas, so she specifically asked if they were male or female.
"They are all female therapists; we don't have male therapists,"
Shen Yuan commented, "Then please arrange for two of the more skilled therapists."
Ella paused, puzzled if he meant it in front of his girlfriend. "What do you mean by 'more skilled'?"
Shen Yuan, having misspoken, hastily covered up with a laugh, "I mean ones with professional expertise."
Ella revealed a meaningful smile, "Sure, Mr. Shen."
"Then I won't disturb your rest further. I am generally in the main building, and you can contact me anytime by phone or WeChat."
Ella gave Shen Yuan a knowing wink as she left, as if to say she understood.
This manager is quite clever... Shen Yuan smiled, aware that although it's a legitimate massage, who wouldn't prefer a pleasing therapist?
Fang Minhui didn't overthink it; as long as Shen Yuan was under her watch, what mischief could he possibly manage.
It was her first time in such a lavish hotel, rumored to be five figures per night, so despite Ella having shown them around, everything still felt very fresh to her.
While exploring, she also pulled Shen Yuan along with her.
First, she approached the dressing table, sat in front of the mirror and said, "This ancient-style dressing table really suits someone like me, born and raised in a distinguished family."
Then she played with the hotel's iPad, "Yuan Babe, come try this, the iPad can control all the room's lights and curtains, along with some appliances."
"Come look at our bathroom, this bathtub is so romantic. We could take a bath here tonight."
Her excitement evident, Fang Minhui eagerly pulled Shen Yuan into the bathroom.
The bathroom was spacious; pulling back the antique screen revealed a huge traditional Chinese bathtub, large enough to accommodate three or four people.
