I’ve stayed at 3 different Lavande hotels on this trip to China. They are all set up well, have friendly staff, comfortable rooms, crispy white linens, and everything someone from the West expects… but they all smell like smoke. There are no smoking signs in every room, in the lobbies, in the elevator, but these are not enforced at all. I’m not likely to book at this hotel chain again. Expect your room to smell like someone has recently smoked in there.
