Huatian Chinagora, hôtel français à Alfortville
Huatian Chinagora is a hotel in Alfortville designed to resemble a Chinese palace, featuring over 180 rooms in various categories. Rooms are decorated in cream and brown tones with views of either the Marne river or an interior garden, while upper floors offer terraces overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
Built about 20 years ago by a Chinese architect inspired by Beijing's Forbidden City, the hotel was designed to create a peaceful setting at the confluence of the Seine and Marne rivers. This location choice distinguished it from typical urban hotels in the region.
The hotel draws its name and design philosophy from Chinese imperial traditions, particularly the role of gardens and water in classical aesthetics. Visitors experience a space where Chinese cultural elements shape how the building looks and how people move through it.
The hotel is about 5 kilometers from Bercy Village and roughly 10 minutes on foot from Metro line 8, making arrival straightforward. An underground garage with around 500 parking spaces is available, and the location allows quick access to both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports.
The hotel holds Green Globe certification and commits to sustainability through energy savings and resource management. Guests can also take boat cruises on the rivers, offering direct access to central Paris without needing a car.
