Rock and roll theme has become a parent-child theme hotel – experience at Hard Rock Hotel Dalian

Author: mgmg2

Traveling has been a big problem in the past two years. I didn’t dare to go anywhere this year. The first trip was to Dalian. At the place where I have been away for more than ten years, I still feel a little emotional. Familiar place names such as Heishijiao, Ganjingzi, and Jinshitan have emerged one by one, but the surrounding environment has undergone tremendous changes, and for me, I can only live in it. When starting from an express hotel below 100 yuan, you can choose a hotel with some characteristics. For me, who loves music, it is natural to go to the hardrock hotel in Dalian.

I was fortunate enough to have been to the Hard Rock Cafe outside Universal Studios in Los Angeles, which can be regarded as his collection The most historic one is Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Frankenstrat guitar at the door.

Speaking of HardRock, friends who like rock music will definitely not be unfamiliar. The word originally means hard rock. Under the rock trend at that time, in 1971, two American young men, Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, were in London. The world’s first Hard Rock Cafe opened on Old Park Lane. They hoped to bring the music and food from their hometown here to relieve their homesickness, but they did not expect it to become popular all over the world. At present, there are more than 100 Hard Rock Cafes around the world, with more than 7,000 employees, and there are chain stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin in mainland China. The HardRock Hotel, as a place with more functions than HardRock, has also opened in Shenzhen and Dalian, China.

The Hard Rock Hotel Dalian is located in the beautiful national 5A-level tourist attraction – Dalian Golden Pebble Beach Tourist Resort The Gold Coast, the hotel covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters. The hotel is strategically located next to the Discovery Kingdom Theme Park and less than 100 meters from the beach.
Hard Rock Hotel Dalian is the second Hard Rock hotel in mainland China opened by American Hard Rock Hotel Group after Shenzhen. The hotel has more than 200 guest rooms and suites. The decoration style of the rooms is fashionable and avant-garde. Each guest room is equipped with an open-air balcony. The balcony stands against the railing, and the beautiful beach scenery and fairy tale amusement park scenery are unobstructed.
The hotel is equipped with an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, a grand banquet hall and three multi-functional meeting rooms, the Rock Premium Lounge terrace on the second floor of the hotel and the banquet lawn on the first floor and hard rock interpretation The plaza is a multi-functional outdoor venue with a full sense of presence. The hotel’s fitness center, spa, kid’s club, and the Hard Rock Store are all craftsmanship and branding in every detail and service.
From the rock-inspired décor to the Hard Rock-exclusive direct-to-room music experience for guests, the hotel features cool music themes everywhere. Attracting local and global travelers, music lovers and entertainers, here you can temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the city, release your mind and body, and discover more joys in your life.

The Hard Rock Hotel Dalian can be regarded as a five-star hotel on the same level as Hilton and Sheraton. , but its facilities may not be comparable to other hotels of the same level. Its biggest feature is the facilities and environment of rock and music themes. The price is also relatively acceptable.

Lobby and Check-In

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is not big, but the design Relatively new and young, each staff member has his own nameplate and favorite singer, but Yishui’s “Wang Feng” and “Deng Ziqi”, I also heard the staff explain that many new staff can’t think of whose name to write , it was written by an old employee, how much I hope to see even a “Dou Wei” or “Cui Jian” here, forget it, I think too much. The lady at the front desk and other employees are also very friendly, and they can try their best to meet some small requests, which is very satisfying.

Ringo Starr of The Beatles Clothes that have been worn.

Steve Taylor, the big mouth in the elevator, from Aerosmith, this is probably the most rock and roll I’ve ever seen A big poster, the others are “Mei Mei”, Rihanna, Beyonce and the like, a little disappointed for a senior rock music fan.

At the other end of the lobby, there is a shop selling Hard Rock related merchandise , There are also some guitar collections. The more attractive ones are the above. The Les Paul signed by John5 should be a very early piano. As my favorite guitarist, he mainly uses Fender’s Tele piano now. type guitar, and a Paul Stanley guitar from kiss.

Featured Items

As a family The rock-themed hotel has a “special service” that is friendly to musicians, that is, you can use the Fender guitar pictured above for free during your stay, as well as a small Marshall speaker, with a deposit of 5,000 yuan.

At the same time, you can also use a vinyl record player with a deposit of 3,000 yuan, which comes with vinyl records of various genres. This is also the biggest feature of this hotel and what attracts me. Without further ado, let’s have a handful of Mexican-made P Try the layer series Telecaster, because white is a luxury model, choose this first.

Room

Hard Rock’s Room Actual I am very satisfied with it. It may be a little small in size, but the facilities are relatively complete. With the strong music theme, it is the style I like. The mattress is moderately firm and comfortable.

Outside the window is the discovery of Golden Pebble Beach Kingdom is the largest amusement park on this side of the development zone. You can hear the excited shouts of the little brothers and sisters on the roller coaster from the balcony.

After a while, the guitar was delivered, the little brother helped to check the guitar and amp, and the connection Cables, straps and other accessories, etc., etc., this is clearly a jaguar and not the tele I want. I explained it to the little brother. The little brother said that he didn’t understand the guitar, he took it wrong, you can change it, wait and see.

The speakers in the hotel are Marshall’s MG10, which is a good small speaker.

After a while, the front desk called and said that the white tele I chose was borrowed, and the green one would work, OK, no problem.

After a while, greenThe standard Mexican-made Player Tele came. I found that the neck was deformed when I played it, and almost all the grades could not make a sound. It was firmly attached to the fingerboard. I explained it to my brother again. It’s pretty good, I explained the problem to him, and he also understands that he can’t play, so let’s change it.

The third one, I changed to the green Jaguar, although it is not the Tele I want, but it can play, bro Explain that it’s all green, okay, haha, let’s do it.

You can jam a few paragraphs with Black Panther’s vinyl, which is good.

The ability to rent guitars and records is definitely the biggest feature of the Hard Rock Hotel, and it is also the greatest benefit for musicians. You can also play your favorite songs in the room, which is very enjoyable, but the staff The understanding of musical instruments has to be strengthened to avoid the situation of inability to communicate. Fortunately, their attitudes are very good, and any problems can be solved slowly.

Other facilities

As a five-star hotel, the gym and swimming pool are also standard. Unfortunately, the swimming pool is only 1.2 meters long and 25 meters long. I was a little bit unable to use the 1.8 meters. Fortunately, there was no one at that time. Enjoy moment.

Outside the window, you can see the whole hotel and the golden beach in the distance, the scenery is good.

Breakfast

The breakfast room is also a restaurant for daily dining. The decoration is still in a strong musical style. The guitars and ukulele decorations that can be seen everywhere add a bit of cuteness.

I personally feel that the breakfast at the Hard Rock Hotel is average in a five-star hotel. There is everything to eat, but there is nothing outstanding. The coffee machine is frequently short of milk, and everyone who drinks coffee is queuing up. Well, what impressed me was the noodles and cock bowls, and the eldest sister who ordered to the chef in Cantonese, made me feel like I was in the wrong city.

There is also a small episode. There are some foreign objects in the vegetables. The chef, the head chef and the restaurant manager all came to confirm and apologize. They also promised to go back to deal with it and check carefully. This attitude is still satisfactory.

Bar

The bar has a live band every night, Unsurprisingly, it’s a Philippine band. I know many hotel bands, most of them are from the Philippines, as well as Central and South America. The level is still good, and there are typhoons. Hard Rock’s music selection style is good, compared to the common domestic saliva. Song, here you can hear live performances of songs from Scorpion, Aaerosmith, and beatles. It is very happy for those who like rock. The guitarist even came to a piece of Jerry C’s rock canon, which successfully completed the most difficult sweeping part of the song. , the skill is still OK.

HardRock is feasting and feasting at night, and you can still hear bursts of singing, although at the moment There are very few tourists, but it adds a little liveliness and noise to the silent night sky.

Why is it a parent-child hotel

To be honest, even my own self-confidence Veteran rock/metal fans are too lazy to say that they like rock and roll. Now is no longer the golden age of rock and roll in the 1980s and 1990s. I am also middle-aged, and it is rare to wear a big flower T-shirt and go out for a drink. And I know how many tourists HardRock can attract if it still insists on rock and roll. Therefore, most of the theme of hotel marketing is parent-child, which is also the most popular branch in recent years, whether it is Club Med or Atlantis , have benefited a lot, why does HardRock not get a share of the pie, so whether it is the restaurant, the lobby, or the swimming pool, there are children everywhere, HardRock also has a variety of parent-child rooms and parent-child playgrounds for the family to play, maybe that once The rock and roll youth of , have long been parents, come here to recall the uninhibited and wild back then.

The location of Hard Rock Hotel Dalian is still very good Yes, although it is about 50KM away from the urban area of ​​Dalian, the Golden Pebble Beach is just outside the door. The amusement park next to it is also a place worth visiting for young people. You can also take pictures and even swim by the sea. Although the beaches here are mostly gravel, it is also Unique. For me, this place is just a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The overall experience is good, especially for me, a rock fan. Although it does not have as many collections as the HardRock Cafe in Los Angeles, it somewhat evokes my long-lost teenager. Heart gas.
