What do you usually do when you want to have a cup of coffee while staying at a hotel on a business trip?
Most likely, I will first open the food delivery app, quickly order a cup of coffee, and then wait for twenty minutes; If you don't want to wait, go downstairs and find the nearest coffee shop; If you happen to have some time, you may walk into a boutique coffee shop or sit in the hotel lobby bar, order a cup of boutique coffee, and take a short breath.
But if you stay at Crystal Hotel for this business trip, any of the above actions could potentially result in significant losses for you.
Because on the water bar counter in the room, there is not the three in one instant, hanging ear, or capsule coffee that you remember, but a complete set of hand brewing utensils and a bag of "Sun dried Yejia Xuefei" that has won the IIAC International Coffee Tasting Association 2024 Gold Award.
This level of coffee is difficult to order through takeout or at street corner coffee shops; In the lobby bar of boutique cafes or high star hotels, a cup of the same boutique handmade coffee is often priced at 45 to 80 yuan.
Seeing this, you may feel that what's' losing 'is nothing more than a cup of premium handmade coffee?
I think so, but I was' fooled '. The intention of a drunken man is not just about drinking, but also about making a cup of coffee in the Crystal Hotel room.
First, let's think about a question: What are your expectations for hotel coffee?
Pushing open the door and putting down your luggage, you may not even glance at the water bar too much. Because you probably knew what would be there, and even assumed that there was no good coffee in the hotel.
This is a strange regression.
Your tongue has clearly become picky. In the office building, you order a 68 yuan boutique hand punch, and on weekends, you make a special trip to the neighborhood for a good cup of coffee. You also start to distinguish the production area, processing method, bean seeds, and flavor. But as soon as you check into the hotel, this pursuit of coffee quality seems to automatically shut down.
The hotel industry never lacks shrewd businessmen. How much does a capsule coffee cost? Zero training, zero accidents, and high efficiency. So, the coffee configuration in the guest room was downgraded all the way, and our expectations also decreased accordingly.
But Crystal Hotel is just an outlier, refusing to send you away with capsules and instead replicating a boutique caf é in every room.
Produced in the small town of Yegashefe in Ethiopia at an altitude of 2000 meters, with 30 days of ancient French sun exposure, 8 rounds of manual screening, and only 1 golden bean selected from 100. This is not just about piling up materials, but to ensure that you can still enjoy a cup of floral and fruity flavored, layered hand punch during late night business trips.
In the era where efficiency is paramount, it chooses to be the one who puts in the effort.
Let's think about the second question again: How do you run out of time on a regular basis?
Just woke up in the morning, first open your phone to check messages; Going out to catch the subway, breakfast and coffee can only be served on the way; At the company, meetings, group chats, proposals, and ad hoc requests are arranged one by one. Many times, after a whole day has passed, you are so busy that you can't stop, but you can't tell where the time has been spent.
When on a business trip, this feeling will only become more pronounced. Rushing flights, schedules, and meetings; When I arrived at the hotel room, my phone was still ringing, my computer hadn't closed yet, and my mind was still stuck in the work I was doing earlier. Sometimes people return to their hotel rooms, but the 'soul' has not truly returned yet.
Those small things that originally belonged to oneself are often habitually pushed back by you. For example, having a good meal, taking a serious shower, and spending 15 minutes making a cup of hand brewed coffee. For you, these are all things that need to be discussed "another day" or "I can't wait until I'm too busy". They are things that are often planned but always postponed.
It's like making coffee by hand. You clearly want to drink, but you always say to yourself: Next time, when I have time.
But Crystal Hotel doesn't let you make excuses. It packed this cup of coffee that you usually can't bear to drink, along with this period of time that you usually can't bear to part with, and placed it in your room in front of you.
You don't need to schedule a specific time to go out, you don't have to pay extra, and you don't have to ask for leave from anyone. In these 30 minutes, put down your phone, you don't have to wait for messages or attend meetings, you're just an ordinary person making coffee.
Boil water, lay filter paper, add water, smell the unique floral and fruity aroma of coffee, watch the coffee powder slowly expand, and wait for it to drip down one by one. After rinsing, you can sit by the window with a cup in hand, enjoy the scenery outside, and relieve the fatigue of work; You can also just drink this cup slowly without thinking about anything.
I missed this cup of coffee, but unfortunately, I missed a good cup of coffee. But what's even more regrettable is that despite having the opportunity to treat oneself well during the journey, I habitually made do with it. In other words, living without drinking is a voluntary choice to give up the 30 minutes that should have belonged to oneself and then hand them over to work.
Making choices that mistreat oneself is truly 'losing'.
In fact, staying at the Crystal Hotel not only allows you to slow down in the aroma of freshly brewed specialty coffee, but also to feel your own time; You can also find a reason to truly relax at night in the tipsy lounge, facing a list of 16 single malt whiskies; You can also unwind and have a good night's sleep in the atmosphere created by the Himalayan white crystal sleeping fragrance and Gentle Night Lounge dreamy wine list
Every detail in these guest rooms is sending the same signal to the guests: during the journey, it's not just about "making do", but also about "living better".
Next time you stay at Crystal Hotel, don't rush to turn on your computer. Go to the water bar first, make a cup of coffee, and sit by the window to relax for a while.
After all, those who can take good care of themselves during business trips are the ones who can continue to be their shining selves after returning to the workplace.
Some experiences may only be available in the rooms of Crystal Hotel. Just like some moments that belong to oneself, only when you truly stop can you discover their true meaning. And Crystal Hotel has already prepared the reasons and methods for you to 'stop' in advance.
It's really a pity that I missed it.
