Hipoman Hotel is a new four-star hotel with 101 rooms on the 3rd floor of a building on Chouzhou North Road in Yiwu, the wholesale city of Zhejiang. Yiwu is known worldwide for its giant market of small goods, and people come here for purchases, samples and suppliers, not for the sea. The hotel was chosen with knowledge of the job: it is about three minutes on foot to International Trade Center metro station, with the Santing Road night market and shopping complexes next door. That matters when the day is planned by the minute and there is no time for taxis. Inside there is a restaurant and a cafe, a gym, luggage storage, a laundry and robots that deliver orders, and guests write about a tasty breakfast and friendly staff. The hotel opened recently, so the interior is fresh. It suits both buying trips and a transit stop in Yiwu.
Chouzhou North: the market, the metro and the Santing night market
Yiwu is a city built around a market. The International Business and Trade City consists of several zones and cannot be covered in a day, so buyers plan routes by section. The hotel stands on Chouzhou North Road, three minutes’ walk from International Trade Center metro, which makes the way to the market predictable. Nearby are the Xinguanghui and Fortune Building shopping centres and the international trade centre on Chouzhou, and in the evening the Santing Road night market comes alive with food and souvenirs. Yiwu is crowded at weekends, especially in the exhibition season.
- The International Trade City — the main reason to come to Yiwu.
- Santing Road night market — evening food and souvenirs.
- Futian Wetland Park — a green walk after the market.
- International Trade Center metro — three minutes on foot.
Tip for travellers: The Yiwu market is open during the day and closes towards the evening, so plan your purchases for the morning. Take business cards, comfortable shoes and a small bag for samples. If you need an interpreter, ask at the front desk: the hotel has an interpreter service.
Robots, breakfast and everything for a business trip
The hotel is arranged for people who come to work. In the morning you go down to the restaurant for a hearty breakfast, then head to the metro. During the day you can leave samples in the safe by the restaurant or in lockers, and in the evening look in at the gym. Robots deliver orders and food to the floors, and the laundry is useful on a long trip. For children there are slippers and toothbrush sets, and the rooms have a garment steamer and a humidifier. Check-in and check-out are sped up by electronic reading of documents, which saves time.
- Restaurant, cafe, lobby bar
