湖光潋滟晴方好
——记上海夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店
声名鹊起中的上海夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店坐落于风光秀丽的夏阳湖畔，由上海国际集团投资开发，洲际酒店集团管理，是青浦区第一家国际品牌五星级大酒店。包围着酒店的夏阳湖，是青浦新城最大的人工湖，占地面积超过130亩，拥有上海首屈一指的开阔湖景和植被资源。占据着如此一流的自然景观，紧邻着朱家角等文化旅游胜地，夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店正凭借其独特的创意客房设计、健康原生态特色美食跻身沪西最优质五星度假酒店。
青浦区恰好地处江浙沪二省一市交界处，是长江三角洲的交通要道，四通八达十分便利，青浦奥特莱斯自开业来始终位列全国前三，吸引着华东区的优质消费人群。夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店在选址上也同样充分地考虑到了该地区客源的偏好：酒店距G50沪渝高速公路上海市区入口仅5分钟车程，15分钟车程到朱家角古镇，25分钟即可达上海虹桥国际机场，无论是商务、购物还是观光，都无需为城市交通感到烦扰。
目前，酒店拥有313间温馨典雅的客房，房型包括高级客房，豪华客房，行政客房，皇冠行政套房，皇冠总统套房及主题儿童房，所有客房均提供免费高速无线网络。酒店2011年正式对外迎宾，客房设计紧贴客人近年来愈发个性化、科技化的旅居需求，并秉承皇冠假日品牌一贯的国际标准，无疑在青浦树立了全新的行业标杆。
纵览夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店的各型客房，有13套独立设计的主题儿童房尤为令人心动——每一套的主题各不相同，和这些童话卡通明星相配的，不仅是统一主题的儿童毛巾、浴袍、拖鞋，酒店更是用心营造了卡通人物标志性的生活空间和梦幻色彩基调。位于主楼的儿童房在卧室外有单独的儿童活动区域，城堡、沙发、卡通公仔、儿童桌椅和专为孩子准备的minibar，简直是小朋友吃喝玩乐的胜地；位于副楼的儿童房，则有73平方米的超大室内空间，适合略小的宝宝尽情沉浸在他的梦幻世界里。像这样着意以小客人的特点为年龄产品设计理念的酒店实在少之又少，因此夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店的这一组“萌”套房在一批习惯选择皇冠假日品牌的老客人们中迅速产生了吸引力，对于他们而言，工作忙碌的时候周末并没有精力远游，但是又想让孩子玩得开心，住酒店对小朋友来讲有着去旅游的兴奋，夏阳湖周边又有着与城市中心迥然不同的自然风光，无论是大人还是孩子都可以用最简单的方法切换进度假心情。考虑到这些客人的需求，夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店特别配置了入住儿童主题房的贴心套餐，包括免费次日三人自助早餐、额外赠送的儿童益智玩具、一定消费金额内免费的儿童Mini Bar，并且附带三张朱家角景点门票供小家庭随意畅游，酒店健身房及室内游泳池也对全家人免费开放。
步出如此梦幻的客房，夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店更有令人惊叹的15000平方米的后花园让人流连不知返：在客房内，凭栏即可远眺夏阳湖一望无际的水光十色；下楼入园则可以在绿树丛荫中欣赏郊外的迷人景致，感受山水田园诗意。
住得舒心之外，美食同样被上海夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店打理得诚意十足，让人倍感新鲜。“青303”是当地的著名中式餐厅，是举办商务宴会及家庭聚餐的理想之选。“青303”以中国传统饮食中“味道天然，用料讲究”为根本，融合当地农家特色，引入粤菜“严格选材，健康烹饪”的烹制理念，利用原生态有机蔬菜和散养家禽，将美味和健康融为一体。而最吸引人的一点是食材的考究选择，在这一点上，可谓是充分利用了青浦鱼米之乡的传统优势，就地取材，优中择精，酒店的中餐大厨深入青浦农间乡野，精用非大棚养殖的有机蔬菜，散养的土鸡，营养丰富的乡间野菜，每日早晨捕捞的时令湖鲜，可以说，夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店正是把这些最接地气的原料，用最精细的烹饪手法点石成金，在客人们面前呈上不一般的夏阳湖风味。
拥有如此扎实餐饮基础的上海夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店，同样在会务方面有着与之相配伍的优秀条件。酒店拥有1200平方米的宴会场地，包括1间无柱大宴会厅和12间光线充足的会议室，厅内配有高科技会务设备，如视听系统和无线网络插口等。皇冠宴会厅时尚高雅，厅外的走廊和阳台可欣赏到微波粼粼的夏阳湖景；中餐厅拥有11间华丽包厢，采光通透，与户外绿色景致相得益彰。无论是节日聚餐或商务会议活动，鸡尾酒会或大型宴会，酒店专业的皇冠会务团队都能根据不同的需求，以皇冠品牌的会务标准，打造令人满意的活动效果。
酒店还配备多样的化的休闲娱乐场所，包括健身中心、室内游泳池、网球场、桌球房和棋牌室等。无论独自前来，还是结伴欢聚，都能一展身手，欢娱尽兴。完备的酒店设施，人性化的专业服务，过眼难忘的夏阳湖景，都足以让客人在繁忙的商务活动，或者轻快的家庭旅行度假中享受别样的住宿体验。
作为上海酒店行业中冉冉升起的新星，夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店除了充分借助湖区优秀的本地资源，为客人提供优质的个性化服务之外，也在积极向外拓展纵深优势，打通并完善与市区各中心的连结互动，便是夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店致力完善的目标。以其与虹桥国家会展中心的通路为例，该中心是目前世界上面积最大的建筑单体和会展综合体，由商务部和上海市人民政府合作共建，位于虹桥CBD核心区，毗邻虹桥交通枢纽，是集展览、会议、活动、商业、办公、酒店于一体的完善的大型商务中心，现在，从酒店自沪渝高速G50至徐泾出口到虹桥国家会展中心仅18公里，且全程无拥堵点，正是这样便捷的交通优势，使得国家会展中心全年繁忙的会展活动已开始不断向夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店推送会务客流——同样都是本着立足上海，依托长三角，服务中国的目标，相信上海夏阳湖皇冠假日酒店未来必定能将更多优势化为实力，成为更多客人往来上海的第一选择。
