Jinjiang genuine version 183 (minor revision)
After visiting the 280-square-meter ultra-luxury room, Dong Zhenxuan, accompanied by the butler, went to the public area to let everyone experience the configuration of the high-end hotel.
This is a feature that a budget hotel does not have.
The first floor is planned with lobby, guest reception area, merchandise area and a super large buffet restaurant that can accommodate 300 people dining at the same time.
Not only can guests staying in the hotel enjoy a rich menu, but other tourists can also dine here.
The Wang Lian revolving restaurant has been packed since its opening. Unless you make a reservation a week in advance, it is common to wait for a table for two hours.
Therefore, when it is impossible to make a reservation at the Wanglian Restaurant, the buffet on the first floor becomes the only choice for some tourists.
The restaurant is located in the forest and has a beautiful environment. It is more romantic than ordinary dining areas. The price is 228 yuan per person, which is relatively acceptable.
Recently, the buffet restaurant is open all day, from 10 am to 8 pm, with a business time of more than 10 hours, and receives 5-6 waves of customers every day.
Although the occupancy rate is not as high as that of Wang Lian Restaurant, the number of people received throughout the day is also considerable.
The second floor is a high-end Western restaurant/specialty restaurant with afternoon tea area.
Luxurious private rooms are set up for important customers. If there are special needs, five-star chefs can also customize dishes for them. The ingredients are exquisite and the taste is delicious.
The price is naturally several times higher than the buffet on the first floor.
Dong Zhenxuan asked: "I remember that I can ask the chef to come to my room to make it?"
Butler: “Yes.”
Dong Zhenxuan: “Is there a charge?”
Butler: "We will waive a certain amount of service fee for you, but the food is charged."
[On the art of speaking.]
[The housekeeper looks very professional, with a professional smile, 2333.]
[I would slap you in the face. What are you thinking? You paid 6,000 for the room, not 60,000!]
[The room rate is already so high, wouldn’t it cost over ten thousand yuan to hire a chef?]
[Not only that, open another bottle of 230,000 yuan red wine and get some imported snacks (dog heads).]
[You know what, a rich young lady who went to experience it a few days ago called a chef and opened several bottles of champagne.
That day happened to be her birthday, so she invited a few girls to have dinner at the Forest Hotel, spending 80,000 yuan for two days.]
[I was really getting carried away. I actually thought 80,000 was not expensive. Didn’t they say that the top presidential suite in S City costs 88,000 per night?]
[That’s right. The young lady also thinks that Hua Jian Ji is very cost-effective, and she wrote a guide to recommend it on social platforms.]
Dong Zhenxuan took a look at the chef's menu and found that some of the dishes were shockingly expensive.
There are all kinds of famous wines, which cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, as well as tea. The first one is the tribute-grade first-picked tea, which costs 588 yuan per pot (Kung Fu brewing).
I guess this is the welcome tea we drank when we first entered the hotel.
But at this price, I really can’t afford it.
So he decided immediately: "Let's have a buffet tonight. We just happened to be given free meal coupons, and we can take a look at the food. I heard that the reviews are very good."
Continuing upstairs, the third floor has meeting rooms and reception rooms of various sizes for business people to meet and socialize. Reservations must be made in advance.
On one side of the circular corridor is a book bar and coffee shop. When Dong Zhenxuan passed by, he found that there were quite a few people there.
It is forbidden to take pictures of other guests in the hotel’s public areas, so the camera flashed by and only the shadows of the crowd could be seen.
The fourth floor is a spa and gym.
The gym area is not too big, but it has a full range of exercise equipment.
Dong Zhenxuan took a quick glance and saw more than a dozen tourists exercising inside, which showed that the facilities were not unused.
As for the SPA opposite, it has a grand style and occupies 70% of the entire floor.
There are 30 independent rooms, divided into single/double rooms, with high privacy and elegant decoration. The scent of aromatherapy permeates the space, making people relax.
The screen at the entrance shows the status and available time of each room. Reservations must be made in advance for SPA.
There were a few girls in the leisure area who were getting manicures while waiting.
Dong Zhenxuan was really surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect the SPA salon to be so popular.
After all, essential oil spa is a high-consumption service, and except for the presidential suite, other rooms do not enjoy discounts.
He motioned for the camera to turn around: "This is the SPA center at Huajianji, let's take a look at the reservations on the screen.
Basically all rooms are in use, including VIP rooms. Only a few are available between 8:30pm and 10:00pm. ”
“It’s not convenient to shoot with the camera, but I can tell you that there are seven or eight young ladies waiting for a table nearby.
The spa at Huajianji is very popular. Please remember to make an appointment one day in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to get a spot. ”
[Oh my god, we have to queue up so soon.]
[A friend of mine went there once and praised it highly. It is not just a body spa, but also a facial treatment and meditation. It is a two-pronged approach to mental relaxation and skin care, and the effect is particularly good.]
[The main reason is that the essential oils are of high quality. Does anyone know what essential oils other SPAs use? In comparison, I would definitely choose Huajianji.]
[I read the recommendation from the blogger named XX. Many friends around me have been interested in Hua Jian Ji and are just waiting for the holidays to experience it.]
[I saw that article too! At the time I was thinking, instead of spending 500 or 600 yuan to stay in a five-star hotel, why not stay in a space capsule and arrange an essential oil spa? The total cost is less than 600 yuan.]
[Oh my god, sister! You and I think exactly the same thing!!]
While the discussion was going on heatedly in the barrage, Dong Zhenxuan and others came to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is the tea room and bar, which is also the top floor.
The tea room covers a larger area and is decorated in an antique style. Green bamboo forms a circle of partitions on the outside, and the air is filled with the fragrance of tea, which is refreshing.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people drinking tea in the hall.
The box was also in use, and was not as empty as they had expected.
This phenomenon may be attributed to the welcome ceremony and free tea bags.
Every tourist staying in an ordinary room or above can enjoy welcome tea and small gifts, but the form and grade are different.
For other hotels, it is just a way to show the service and hospitality of a five-star hotel.
However, Huajianji, with its outstanding quality and taste of tea, makes customers feel valued and leaves a deep impression.
Just like the words "good tea" that Dong Zhenxuan blurted out.
When we returned to the room, the complimentary tea bags were also top-grade Mingqian tea, soaked in filtered spring water, and the tea aroma was fragrant.
For tea lovers, knowing that there is a special tea room on the 5th floor, they are very likely to come up and check it out.
It just depends on whether the price is acceptable.
If it is not a private room service, the price will be reduced by 40%.
Dong Zhenxuan let the camera pan around and said, "I didn't expect there would be so many people in the teahouse. How about we go and try it too?"
[Go, go, go, see for yourself.]
[Pass it on, Brother Dong will drink tea worth tens of thousands of dollars!]
[Pass it on, Brother Dong will open a bottle of wine worth 230,000 yuan and drink tea worth tens of thousands of yuan!]
[Pass it on, Brother Dong will drive a bottle of wine worth 230,000 yuan, drink tea worth tens of thousands of yuan, and buy a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle!]
[Is the blogger really going to go there? This teahouse looks very expensive.]
[I think Brother Dong has always been obsessed with that cup of welcome tea. Now that he sees so many people who feel the same way, the psychological pressure is gone.]
[The above answer is correct.]
[Is there any discount for the presidential suite? If not, it seems very expensive.]
Butler: "Do you need to arrange a private room for you and your friends?"
Dong Zhenxuan: "The private room is not needed, how much do you charge for tea?"
Butler: "Your afternoon tea can be replaced with premium Mingqian tea + snacks for three people. Do you need me to change it for you?"
Dong Zhenxuan: “Let’s do it.”
Butler: "Then I'll arrange it right away."
Dong Zhenxuan: “Let’s take a look at the menu first.
The main recommended special Mingqian tea is 98 yuan per person, the tribute-grade first-picked tea is 198 yuan per person, and there are other top ten famous teas, West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Wuyishan Dahongpao... and free snacks are provided.
The price is not low, but considering the quality, it is reasonable.”
He stared at the price for a few seconds and said to the housekeeper who was about to make arrangements: "Change them all to tribute-grade first-picked tea, and make up the difference of 300 yuan."
Butler: "Okay, no problem."
[Fuck, Brother Dong really wants to drink tea worth tens of thousands of dollars!]
[Good fellow, I just call him good fellow.]
[198 per person, 594 for three people, really expensive! ]
[300 yuan is equivalent to a 50% discount. I would be tempted too.]
[Hua Jian Ji is really awesome. I bet that before checking in, the blogger didn’t think of spending a penny more than the room fee.]
[I agree. This forest hotel definitely has the highest utilization rate of public facilities.
People who often travel on business say that some five-star hotels' gyms, swimming pools, and spas are rarely visited, and are more like facilities to enhance the style. Huajianji is an exception, and has never seen so many consumers. ]
Ye Han thought about the operation of Forest Hotel. If the occupancy rate was 100%, the annual room income would be about 86 million yuan.
A 100% occupancy rate is an ideal number, but the increase in holiday room rates is basically on par with it.
Then there’s the cost.
The travel app platform deducts 15 points, which includes toiletries, disposable slippers and other items consumed in the room, drinks and snacks prepared in the snack cabinet, aromatherapy, essential oil baths, tea bags, afternoon tea, fruit plates, etc., all of which are costs.
In addition, there are the labor costs of the auntie cleaning the room, welcoming guests, water and electricity bills, wear and tear of household appliances, etc.
Big-brand toiletries + disposable consumables + exquisite afternoon tea + fruit plate + essential oil aromatherapy + snacks and drinks + tea bags + double breakfast for free, individual purchases cost at least more than 200 yuan.
The room rate was only 699 yuan, a huge loss.
However, Huajianji's customized toiletries, snacks, etc. are all purchased in bulk, which is at least half cheaper than the retail price; exquisite afternoon tea, fruit plates, etc. almost do not need to be prepared separately because they are buffet restaurants.
As for essential oils, aromatherapy and handmade soaps, they are all our own products with lower cost prices.
Calculated in this way, the profit margin is approximately 47%, or 40.42 million.
Compared with other five-star hotels, the profit is very high, after all, the scale is not as large as them.
It’s just 40 million...it’s really not a high amount for Hua Jian Ji.
The income of beverage shops, food and beverage bars, noodle shops and other snack shops can be on par with it.
Such a huge forest hotel, covering an area of more than 9,000 square meters, which took countless efforts to design and plan, with beautiful surroundings, luxurious interiors, well-equipped rooms, meticulous service and robot reception, is all it got in return?
Of course not.
Forest Hotel is a comprehensive commercial center with a buffet restaurant, specialty restaurants, SPA, tea room, coffee shop... and extra consumption in the room, all of which are income.
The merchandise area in the lobby on the first floor is the size of a medium-sized supermarket.
Various travel supplies are sold there, such as chargers, power banks, umbrellas, socks, underwear, curling irons...famous brand travel packs, facial masks, etc., to meet all needs.
Of course, pendants, figurines, plush pillows, small machine models, as well as essential oil products and tea gift boxes are indispensable.
There are also tea and essential oil display cabinets behind the front desk. How can you go home without taking some souvenirs?
Huajianji never actively recommends anything, but it will deepen tourists' impressions through many scenes.
If you like the essential oils, just buy a bottle at the spa; if the pendants are cute, take one from the automatic cabinet downstairs; if you like tea in the tea room, take a box of premium tea home, which is very reasonable.
At the same time, the longer the customers stay in Huajianji, the higher their consumption.
Why not try Wang Lian Restaurant?
Why not buy a few cups of Bamboo Oolong and Rose drinks?
I had a few meals at the buffet restaurant, and if my budget allows, I could also try the chef's cuisine.
I tried the tea room, coffee shop, bartending and spa, and finally brought back some souvenirs. It was perfect.
It's all consumption.
And all of this is based on the premise that the Forest Hotel is open.
It is difficult to estimate now as the hotel has just been open for less than two weeks, but in the current profit structure, room rates account for about 30%.
This is what makes Huajianji different from a five-star hotel.
More than 70% of the profits of other five-star hotels come from room charges, with less from other sources; however, Huajianji’s peripheral products, catering, essential oil products, etc. are all independent and the most important thing is that the flow of people is large enough to ensure a continuous demand and create higher profits.
Huajianji Botanical Garden has become even more perfect because of the forest hotel. The overall structure is complete, integrating tourism, catering and accommodation, which complement each other.
At six o'clock in the evening, Dong Zhenxuan and the other two went to the buffet restaurant on the first floor.
The little robot took them into a special VIP area.
The seats are sofa-style, spacious and comfortable, and the table is 1.5 times larger than other locations, demonstrating the distinguished treatment.
Because of the little robot accompanying him, he attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of attention.
In fact, they could go to the private room on the second floor and order food, but Dong Zhenxuan wanted to experience the joy of self-service.
The live broadcast has been closed long ago.
The quiet environment of the tea room is not suitable for live broadcast, and the afternoon SPA is even less suitable, so the live broadcast ends here.
The edited video will be posted later so that everyone can experience the tree house suite tour in detail.
Now, they enjoyed the sumptuous buffet.
228 yuan, the price is not too high but definitely not low, even higher than many five-star restaurants.
Check out what this highly-rated buffet has to offer.
"Let's go choose our food."
“The menu is really rich.”
The road in the self-service hall is wide, so it doesn't seem crowded even when there are many people.
At a glance, there are more than a dozen stalls, including seafood, sashimi, Chinese hot dishes, barbecue stalls, teppanyaki stalls, hot pot stalls... sushi, desserts, fruits, and drinks.
The dishes are neatly arranged, the four square display areas are well divided, the bamboo partitions are green, and the top is softly lit, giving a clean and bright visual effect, which is a blessing for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The chefs were wearing uniform uniforms and special transparent masks. They were cutting and arranging the food carefully. Their movements were neat and tidy, and they looked well-trained at first glance.
It is obvious at first glance that this is a high-end buffet area.
"Look at this mantis shrimp. It's almost as long as my palm. Let me take one first."
"Okay, take it. Don't take too much. Eat and continue."
"The scallops were fresh, the abalone was also big, swimming crabs, Argentine red shrimp... It's rare to see such big black tiger shrimp, so I took it."
The salmon chef is cutting the salmon and arranging it on the plate. The pure Norwegian salmon is cut into thick slices, with plump meat and beautiful texture, which is pleasing to the eye.
Everyone rushed to get it, and soon the plate was almost empty and was refilled, almost non-stop.
The other sashimi was also very fresh, but Dong Zhenxuan didn’t like raw food, so he continued moving forward.
There was a long table filled with crayfish in front. They were big, juicy, and had a spicy taste that made your mouth water.
"Spicy crayfish, thirteen-spice crayfish, garlic crayfish, this is too delicious, isn't it?" he thought to himself.
Dong Zhenxuan saw many tourists coming and taking away a large plate, eating as much as they wanted without any limit.
The oysters are steamed in a pressure cooker without stopping, six chefs are opening the shells together, and there is a robot secretly helping below, so getting a whole plate at a time is no longer a dream.
But there are a lot of people queuing, so you may have to wait for a few minutes.
Take some of the salt-baked king crab, cheese-baked crab meat...
At the hot food window, the aroma of meat wafts in the air, making people swallow their saliva unconsciously.
The stir-fried lotus root slices in the middle were all eaten up, and the chef in the kitchen was stir-frying them.
The small portion of lotus leaf chicken is also very popular. Only one and a half rows of the eight neatly arranged rows are left. The green lotus leaves wrap the soft and glutinous inside, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Dong Zhenxuan quickly took three.
When we were about to go back, two chefs came out from the edge of the stall pushing a Peking duck cart.
The golden skin is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, sizzling with oil, and then we start slicing the duck on the spot.
People around were taking pictures and eagerly waiting for the duck, it smelled so good.
Other restaurants don’t have this kind of treatment. The taste of food kept warm in the oven and freshly baked is very different.
Dong Zhenxuan returned to the dining table with the plate and found that the photographer was holding a lamb chop, blowing on it while eating it, and he was eating in a very unpresentable manner.
The tender lamb is sprinkled with a light layer of chili powder and cumin, which is very appetizing.
Photographer: “I just got it from the barbecue stall. It was such a big lamb chop, I estimate it must be 5 or 6 kilograms, and it was all eaten up in a minute.
I was lucky enough to grab a few, you guys eat them quickly."
"There are so many people at the barbecue stall. Fortunately, the chef grills quickly."
The photographer wiped his hands after finishing his meal and said, "I'll go check on the lamb skewers and grilled oysters. They should be ready soon."
Assistant: "The teppanyaki stall also has a lot of delicious food, such as French foie gras, Angus steak, pan-fried cod, grilled eel... Oh, and there's grilled durian next to it, authentic T country golden pillow durian!
Boss, do you want it? I'll get it."
Huajianji is so generous, all the food is delicious, and you can’t finish it in one go.
Dong Zhenxuan glanced over there, then looked at the large table of dishes: "Eat first, and go later."
Five minutes later, the little robot came over with a dining cart, its eyes narrowed into two straight lines, and introduced: "These are the two chef's dishes for today.
The first dish: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is cooked by a Fujian chef using the finest abalone, sea cucumber, flower mushroom, scallop and other ingredients.
Second course: Beef Wellington. The Michelin chef selects top-quality steak, served with black truffle and foie gras, wrapped in puff pastry and baked.
Please enjoy it.”
The assistant couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is well-known, and it is made by a master chef, so you can imagine how delicious it tastes.
Although I have never eaten Beef Wellington, it must be extremely delicious judging by the black truffles and foie gras.
There were three servings of each of the two dishes, but the portions were not very large.
A palm-sized jar was filled with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was still hot; in the center of another large plate, there was a Wellington steak as thick as bread, with sauce on the side and some decorative green leaves, and the presentation was exquisite.
With so many buffets, it's a good idea to try something new.
Dong Zhenxuan took a bite of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The thick soup in his mouth made his tongue salivate with its freshness. The chef was indeed different.
The Wellington steak is juicy and tender, with the aroma of truffles and mushrooms. The puff pastry is soft and the foie gras melts in your mouth. It is unforgettable after one bite and is the ultimate delicacy.
This was undoubtedly the best meal I've ever had.
Even without the two main courses, the 228 yuan buffet is very worthwhile.
Dong Zhenxuan returned to the tree house and saw the reviews written by others. He couldn't help but click "like".
Someone asked: What dishes do you recommend for the Huajianji buffet?
The other party's answer was:
