最近两三年，因为租金和人工成本的持续上涨，经济型酒店不再是一块香饽饽而是沦为一门利润微薄的生意，整个市场已经出现过剩，尤其是一二线城市。
麗枫是7天连锁酒店2013年从美国退市，更名为铂涛集团之后推出的一个中档品牌，当时共同推出的还有主打咖啡馆文化的喆·啡(James Joyce Coffeetel)，时尚与社交文化的潮漫(ZMAX)，之后还有针对女性人群的希岸(Xana Hotelle)。
在这之前，铂涛集团董事长郑南雁委托麦肯锡做过一项调查，调查显示，“2011年开始，中国消费者花在非必需品上的金额占个人总收入的比例首次上升”，这意味着人们不再满足于衣食住行等方面的基本需求，消费者选择酒店时会开始重视品牌形象、空间设计、服务细节等。
为了摆脱“7天”和“经济型”的标签，7天退市之后从一家经济型酒店公司转型为酒店创业平台，郑南雁没有让原来7天的人来主导这次转型，而是借助外部人士的力量进行品牌孵化，铂涛提供品牌发展所需的资金、人力、供应链以及会员体系支持。

The hotel was great. Clean, well serviced, and well situated. The staff were also very friendly and could speak some English. Although this is the Garland Hotel, we had full facilities of the main hotel as well. The only disappointing thing was the clear window between the bathroom and the bedroom. There was a screen that could be pulled down, but this still left a gap that those in the bedroom were able to see through. The screen was on the bedroom side as well. It would have been better fitted on the bathroom side of the wall.

还方便。就在趵突泉旁边，打的也方便。出差住住不错。靠近泉城广场。周边吃饭的地方也不少。总体来说还可以吧。
