In film and television dramas, "Fan Lou" restaurants often appear. Is it equivalent to a five-star hotel now?

I think the so-called Fan Lou at that time was more than just a five-star hotel. If it had been said at that time, it would have been the first hotel in China.

Because it was built in Kaifeng, the capital at that time, it was the first hotel in Kaifeng. There are many entertainments, not only eating and drinking, but also geisha singing and dancing, and the legendary Li Shishi is also in it.

Moreover, Song Huizong at that time also had a certain relationship with him. It is conceivable that the hotel where the emperor can come can have a high grade. It is impossible for an ordinary hotel emperor to come, and this hotel can be opened in Kaifeng in such a magnificent way, and it is not exclusive to the royal family. As you can imagine, this hotel was founded by a rich man, so it has a high status.

And this place is the place where Song Huizong and Li Shishi are rumored to have a tryst. As we all know, Song Huizong and Li Shishi had many private meetings outside at that time, and the place of this private meeting is said to be Fan Lou now. Therefore, Fan originally marked the highest level hotel in China at that time. There are many things to eat, drink and have fun in it, and there are many kinds. As long as you can afford it, you should say everything.

Today, Fan Lou has become a key scenic spot in our country, and it is relatively cheap, but there are few entertainment items in it. But I have to say, as a landmark hotel in the Song Dynasty, he was still very powerful. Without the support of the royal family, it is really rare to run such a large-scale hotel and attract the emperor. In such a prosperous area of Kaifeng at that time, I could afford the next piece of land and have such a great reputation. You can imagine how powerful the founder is and how prosperous the building is.
