Hotels With Gym in Hunan, China

The hotel fully lived up to our expectations! The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking. The smart room controls were very convenient and easy to use. The hotel grounds are lovely, with scenic walking paths and swings that create a very relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was not extremely varied, but everything was delicious — be sure to try the shaomai! In the evenings, you can order local Chinese dishes prepared by the chef. The food is excellent, although many dishes are designed for sharing and the portions are quite large. There are also snacks available at the reception desk. The weather in the park can change quickly, but the hotel sells both raincoats and shoe covers for rainy days (surprisingly useful!). The hotel also provides a shuttle to the park entrance, which is only a short distance away. I would also like to give special thanks to the hotel staff for the airport transfers and for their invaluable assistance throughout our stay. They helped us plan our sightseeing itinerary, purchase tickets, and were incredibly responsive to any questions we had — whether about the room or even our travel plans during the day. Their support made our trip much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you so much ❤️ When planning the trip, I recommend allowing at least two full days for the park itself, plus another one or two days for Tianmen Mountain and the Glass Bridge. Keep in mind that these attractions are about an hour’s drive from the main park and the hotel. I would also highly recommend visiting the 72 Wonder Tower in Zhangjiajie City in the evening. The atmosphere there is incredible, with live performances, actors in costume, and beautiful light installations that make the whole place feel magical.

Zhangjiajie East Gate Boutique B&B | 50 Meters from Scenic Area Entrance, Unparalleled Service, You Won't Want to Leave! For this trip to Zhangjiajie, we spent the first two nights enjoying a slow pace on the west side, then moved to the Guanzhi S B&B near the East Gate for the next two nights. This B&B positions itself as a boutique hotel, not just a regular guesthouse. From the moment you step in, you know it's something special – an artist's entrance, with an artistic atmosphere permeating every corner. The details are meticulously crafted. Many guests here are international tourists and discerning travelers who appreciate quality. It's no exaggeration to say this is the most thoughtful and attentive service I've ever experienced. 📍Location: 50 meters from the East Gate, 7-seater shuttle service provided The B&B is about 50 meters from the East Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, making park access incredibly convenient. However, because it's so close to the scenic area, it's located in a restricted zone. ⚠️ You MUST use Didi (ride-hailing app) to get directly to the B&B's doorstep. Plus, the hotel offers a 7-seater shuttle service, so transportation is a breeze for families. It's also easy to find restaurants after leaving the park, as the area around the East Gate is full of eateries. 🛏️Bathtub King Room: Refined Down to the Details We stayed in a bathtub king room. The room isn't huge but is exquisite in every detail. The bedding is comfortable, and a relaxing soak in the tub at night washes away all the day's fatigue. If you need anything, just scan the QR code by the bed, and it'll be delivered in minutes – a godsend for busy parents! 👶Parents with Kids Rejoice! All These are Free! Forgot kids' toothbrushes, slippers, or shower gel? The B&B has it all; just ask the front desk, and they'll bring it to your room. There's also a 5 sqm kids' play area with a slide, building blocks, and a small rocking horse. Once the kids are in there, they won't want to leave. ☕️Good Morning · Good Afternoon · Good Evening, Service is Superb! This is where the true boutique hotel service shines through: 🌅Good Morning · Huanchi – Exquisite breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. 🍰Good Afternoon · Afternoon Tea – Come back from exploring, enjoy tea and desserts, and instantly feel re-energized. 🌙Good Evening · Evening Porridge + Cocktails – Warm porridge for the stomach, a little nightcap, and finally some alone time for the adults after the kids are asleep. 📸Free Travel Photography + Ethnic Costume Experience! The most delightful surprise – free ethnic costume experience + travel photography! All original photos are provided, with professional touch-ups included! They even gave us a souvenir gift upon check-out. So thoughtful! ✅Countless Value-Added Services: Shuttle service | Free kids' amenities | Free travel photography | Afternoon tea | Evening porridge + cocktails | Souvenir gift… This is, without a doubt, the most attentive B&B I've ever stayed in. Ps: Remember to use Didi to get to the B&B's entrance~ 🚗 🏷️Tags: #ZhangjiajieTravel #ZhangjiajieB&B #GuanzhiSB&B #TravelingWithKidsInZhangjiajie #FamilyB&B #ZhangjiajieTravelPhotography #BoutiqueB&B #ArtisticB&B

Manxin was the third boutique hotel I chose for my trip to Hunan. It's located in a village nestled in the mountains. The owner leased nearly a hundred acres of land to create the idyllic farm he envisioned. Several two-story buildings are artfully scattered amidst rice paddies and lotus ponds. An infinity pool offers unparalleled views of the distant mountains. The rice seedlings have just been planted, and in a few months, one can truly experience the scene described by Xin Qiji: 'A bountiful harvest is spoken of amidst the fragrance of rice flowers, as the croaking of frogs fills the air.' **Environment:** The hotel's environment is exceptional. Surrounded by distant mountains, perched on a gentle slope, every room offers expansive views of lush greenery. The rice fields are close by, and at night, the sound of frogs fills the air. Each room boasts a large balcony. Sitting there, breathing in the fresh mountain air, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, time seems to slow down. **Hygiene:** The hotel's hygiene is top-notch. Despite being surrounded by farmland, there are surprisingly no mosquitoes or other insects in the rooms, which is quite rare. **Facilities:** As a meticulously crafted guesthouse, it offers all the amenities of a high-end hotel, especially the infinity pool with its unbeatable mountain views – truly an inspired touch. Of course, as a 'wild luxury' (my own definition) hotel, to encourage guests to truly reconnect with nature, the rooms intentionally lack televisions. This thoughtful decision is commendable! **Service:** Being far from the city, service is particularly important for guests. The hotel provides dedicated butlers who promptly address guests' questions and requests. Their efficiency is high, usually responding to guests almost immediately. The hotel offers complimentary airport/train station transfers, as well as unlimited complimentary transfers to the Zimu Pass (middle gate) of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is incredibly helpful for guests. **In summary:** This is a uniquely positioned hotel. For travelers who love nature, appreciate peace and a slower pace, and have high standards for hotel quality, this hotel is definitely worth a short stay. **Final Suggestion:** Given its rural location, its own farmland, and the fact that it raises poultry and bees, the hotel should further leverage its unique advantages in terms of ingredients and cuisine. It could also appropriately guide local farmers to cultivate organic vegetables, fruits, and various eco-friendly produce, making a beneficial contribution to rural revitalization. I believe some guests would appreciate this.

The standard room I booked was the largest I've ever stayed in at a Ji Hotel. It had a separate dressing area, a work area large enough for three people to sit in, a large TV, and was quiet, clean, and new – a very comfortable stay. It's only a 10-minute walk to the East Gate of Yuelu Mountain, perfect for those taking the route of entering from the South Gate and exiting from the East Gate. Exiting from the East Gate allows you to easily return to the hotel.

I was kindly given a free room upgrade to a high floor with a fantastic view overlooking Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain. The room was clean, hygienic, and tidy, with complete amenities and attentive service. However, the large showerhead in the bathroom was damaged and unusable, though the small handheld one was fine. Downstairs by the river every afternoon, there are various street musicians and performers playing different music at the same time, which blend together into annoying noise. We brought this up, and the staff said they had also complained to no avail, so we just had to keep the windows tightly shut. We chose not to switch to a city-view room because of the superb river view. The hotel's location is super convenient, very close to the subway station—just one stop to Orange Island and two stops to Yuelu Mountain. There are several pedestrian streets and historic blocks nearby, and the Du Fu Jiangge Pavilion is also a short distance away along the river.

A very unique and memorable stay in Zhangjiajie! We stayed 2 nights in the Morning Glow King Suite Bedroom. The highlight of this homestay is its cave concept. The reception area is huge, impressive, and beautifully designed, creating a real wow factor upon arrival. The property also features a cave restaurant where breakfast is served, and dinner can be arranged with advance booking. There is also a cosy cave lounge for guests to relax. Our room was large, comfortable, and very clean. The facilities were well maintained and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Location is excellent. The homestay is hidden behind the famous theatre performance venue but only a short walk to the main street, making it convenient while remaining quiet. Highly recommended for travellers looking for a unique accommodation experience in Zhangjiajie. The cave setting alone makes it worth staying here.

Initially, I was a bit worried that such an expensive guesthouse wouldn't be worth it, but once I checked in, I found it truly fantastic. I rarely leave reviews, but this place genuinely exceeded my expectations. Recommended by a friend, it certainly didn't disappoint. As soon as I stepped out of the high-speed rail station, the hotel driver was already patiently waiting at the entrance, helping with the luggage all the way—such a thoughtful touch. The hotel environment is wonderful, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing mountain views. There's a swimming pool, and the room comes with a Xiao Ai smart speaker. The complimentary tea was also great; it actually got me hooked on Zhangjiajie's Jiangxi vine tea (mei cha). It was very quiet at night, making it ideal for a relaxing vacation away from the city hustle and bustle, with wonderfully fresh air. Another thoughtful detail is the breakfast. You make your selection a day in advance, and rather than serving typical pre-made hotel buffet food, the guesthouse hires a dedicated chef who prepares it to your taste preferences the next morning. They check in with you via a chat group to see if you're awake, and then cook it fresh so you don't have to worry about missing breakfast even if you want to sleep in. You can really see the owner's care and attention to detail in all the amenities provided: the toothbrushes are wooden, the disposable slippers have thick soles, the bathtub liner is laid out in advance, and alcohol wipes are readily prepared in the bathroom. The hotel features an underground parking garage, most food delivery services can reach it, and it's just a dozen minutes' walk to the commercial pedestrian street. It's a pity I didn't visit in the summer; I'll definitely have to try out the pool next time.

We had a wonderful and memorable stay at this hotel! Despite being four years old, it has retained its beautiful aesthetic charm. The interior design creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, with dimmed lighting throughout. While this adds to the ambience, it may not appeal to those who prefer brighter spaces. The rooms are quite spacious depending on the room category, especially the ones with bathtubs that we stayed in this time. The beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable, striking just the right balance between softness and firmness. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including carton-box mineral water, specially extracted well water that pairs wonderfully with the complimentary tea leaves, and free minibar snacks and beverages. The toiletries are also well selected, including Le Labo hand wash and bath care products. One of the biggest highlights is the generous complimentary food and beverage offerings! Breakfast is served until 1.00 PM and is made to order, with the option of dining in your room or at the coffee house. There is a wide selection, and you can order a portion of everything before going back for more. Highly recommend the beef steak, soup wantons and glutinous rice cake! The complimentary afternoon tea offers a lovely selection of desserts, and the macarons are absolutely delicious! There is also complimentary late-night supper with nutritious snacks and desserts. With breakfast, afternoon tea, supper and complimentary minibar refreshments, you hardly need to step out of the hotel! Other thoughtful perks include complimentary handcraft activities, a CNY100 merchandise voucher per room (we used ours to purchase the herbal foot and bath soak sachet set, which was pretty good!), and a complimentary photography session within and around the hotel. Special thanks to our photographer, Fei Fei, who was wonderful at guiding us with poses and capturing lovely travel-style photographs. Certain room packages also include a complimentary one-way airport or train station transfer. The hotel has a gym and laundry room conveniently located together, with staff assistance available if needed. Most importantly, the staff were consistently kind, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality truly made a difference, and we are very grateful for their excellent service. Location-wise, it is reasonably convenient for exploring the Chao Zong area. However, Taiping Old Street and the busier Wu Yi Plaza area are a little further away and require a longer walk. A few areas for improvement would be the bedside power sockets, USB ports and charging cables, as some were not functioning properly. There are also some noticeable signs of wear and tear on the black surfaces of certain room fittings. The room views are not particularly impressive either, although the rooftop/balcony offers some surrounding skyscraper views. The hotel is situated in a modernised ancient area, with its highest floor being Level 3. Overall, we had a very satisfying and enjoyable stay. What makes this hotel stand out is not just its beautiful aesthetic and comfortable rooms, but also its generous complimentary offerings and thoughtful guest experiences. A place where you can slow down, indulge, relax and simply enjoy being taken care of. We left feeling well-rested, well-fed and very happy with our stay. Definitely worth experiencing!

The B&B's location is absolutely unbeatable, offering the best views. We came to Furong Ancient Town mainly for the scenery, so choosing this place was definitely the right call. Due to its mountainous terrain, the overall cleanliness of Furong Ancient Town is a bit concerning, and the difficulty of getting up and down the hills probably makes maintaining hygiene quite challenging. The ladies at the reception desk of the B&B had a generally lukewarm attitude; we didn't see a single smile from them. The gentlemen, however, were all very nice. The restaurant staff provided great service, and the food tasted good too.

The hotel is nestled within Sunshine City Tanyue, a tranquil retreat tucked away down winding paths. From its architecture to its interior design, it evokes a sense of a bygone era. The hotel facilities are incredibly thoughtful, addressing almost every small need. The butler service was also very attentive; they added me on WeChat beforehand to provide check-in reminders, weather updates, transportation information, and to coordinate afternoon tea, housekeeping, and check-out arrangements. Breakfast is served on the fourth floor and offers outdoor seating, which is lovely on a cool day. Overall, it was a very interesting hotel experience. Thank you for your hospitality!
