·Technology: flat screen TVs, modern escalators and fast elevators
·In the future：I would like to have dinner there once again, but expensive
Let me tell you about a four-star hotel called the Shangri-La. It is conveniently located in the city center, and I believe that most entrepreneurs，state officers, and rich foreign tourists who come to my city stay there. It is a fancy hotel; actually it is definitely the best place to book a room in my hometown.
From the outside, the Shangri-La Hotel is a modern skyscraper. It counts at least 30 floors, and the building seems to be covered with glass, you know, huge windows. At night, they illuminate the edges of the building, and it looks quite neat. Actually, it was built next to a big square in my city, and you can see the hotel from very far away. It's a landmark easily recognizable building) in my hometown.
When you walk in the hotel, you will be welcomed by a doorman, and at first you can enjoy the light fragrance of the air in the building. I don't know how they do it, but the place smells so nice ： it is very relaxing ． The ceiling is extremely high, and the lounge is very spacious and comfortable. It seems like every piece of furniture inside the hotel was carefully selected. The place is well-decorated, with paintings hanging on the walls, amazing chandeliers （＝ lights hanging down from the ceiling), and colorful decorations depending on the time of year. I had dinner there last year for Spring Festival, and the place was all red, with ornaments representing the Chinese festival: they had scrolls and calligraphy around the doors and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. It was stunning！
The hotel is also very well-equipped in terms of technology. There are flat-screen TVs everywhere, and there is a monitor in the elevators too. Actually, to get to the main restaurant, you can take the escalators inside to reach the first floor. On top of this, they have a swimming pool in the basement, a gym, their own cinema, and a tennis court on the roof. It's pretty cool.
I have had the chance to eat there once, but I hope that in the future I will be able to go back, to treat my parents to a nice dinner there. You know, my folks have done so much for me; they have been so supportive over the years, I would love to thank them by taking them out to the best place in town.
