Find 5-Star Hotels in Baotou

"Traveling with family, we booked a suite and it was incredibly spacious, with two bathrooms which was very convenient. There was also a separate living area. Although it's an older five-star hotel (some prefer modern design, but I lean towards classic styles), the facilities are still very well-maintained and up-to-date. The service was exceptional, from the doorman at the entrance, to the front desk during check-in, and even at the restaurant – everyone provided warm and enthusiastic service. Because the Executive Lounge was undergoing renovations, the hotel generously upgraded the Executive benefits to a buffet dinner, which was a very classy move. The restaurant service was excellent, and the variety of food was impressive. A special thank you to Assistant Director Song from the F&B department for their warm and thoughtful service. Also, a shout-out to the chef who makes the shumai for breakfast – it was delicious! And the Inner Mongolian milk tea was fantastic!"

"We stayed at Lotus Hotel for two nights and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The biggest highlight is definitely the location. The hotel is set in the middle of the desert, making it a unique and memorable destination. Reaching the resort is part of the adventure: you first take a cable car, then transfer to a jeep shuttle that brings you directly to the hotel. The hotel staff can transport your luggage for you, although it may take up to two hours before it arrives in your room. The reception area is warm and welcoming. The staff explain how the resort is organized and help guests understand the various facilities. Since the property is very large, transportation within the resort is well organized. The guest rooms are spread across different rings, and in the lower ring you can call a small train that picks you up and takes you directly to your room, which is very convenient given the long walking distances. The same service is available when returning. The hotel offers plenty of facilities for both adults and children. Near the entrance there is a buffet area, while the ground floor features several recreational spaces, including an ice-skating rink, game rooms with billiards, archery, and other activities. Outside, there is a large shaded sand play area for children with staff members available to supervise and entertain them. Throughout the resort there are also shuttle trains that can pick you up if you prefer not to walk. In the evening there are live entertainment shows, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The main dining hall is spacious, the food is good, and everything is included. There is also a hot pot restaurant on the first floor if you want an alternative dining experience. One of the most beautiful parts of the stay is the outdoor entertainment park at night. Guests walk through the desert on a beautifully illuminated wooden walkway while enjoying performances, shows, balloons, and activities for children. The evening temperatures are very pleasant, especially during summer, making it a fantastic experience. The exterior entertainment park includes many complimentary activities, such as VIP camel riding, guided off-road rides, zip lines, and a water park. Transportation between the hotel and the park is free and very efficient, with buses, themed boats, small trains, and other fun vehicles. You can easily spend one or even two days here. Most of the main activities can be experienced in one day, but there is enough to keep you entertained longer. The staff are always friendly and eager to help, and there are many employees throughout the resort. However, most of them are very young and sometimes lack experience, resulting in avoidable mistakes. Additional training would certainly improve the overall service. Another significant drawback is the language barrier. Very few staff members speak English, and during our two-night stay we found only one person who could communicate sufficiently. The room itself is simple and quite small, but that's not really the focus of this type of resort since you'll spend most of your time enjoying the activities outside. If you're looking to relax in your room, this may not be the ideal place. The bathroom definitely needs renovation. The shower was disappointing, and when we entered the room there was an unpleasant pee smell that suggested cleaning standards could be improved. Overall, the room was acceptable, but for the price I expected better housekeeping and maintenance. Despite these shortcomings, the incredible location, the wide variety of activities, and the overall experience make Lotus Hotel a destination worth visiting. I would definitely come back, probably for one night rather than two, simply because most attractions can be enjoyed in a full day. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique desert resort experience."

"Our first stop on our Inner Mongolia trip, and this hotel comes highly recommended! The room was incredibly spacious, clean, and the night view was fantastic. The staff at the front desk, in the restaurant, and the concierge were all exceptionally warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. A special shout-out to Ryan at the front desk, who, seeing we had a child, upgraded our room for free! I also want to thank the hotel for helping me mail back a lost item!"

"Nestled within a park, the hotel boasts classic state guesthouse amenities. A jogging trail encircles the hotel, shaded by lush trees, and the island in the lake is home to ducks, geese, turkeys, and peacocks—the environment is truly exceptional. Parking in front of the main building is somewhat limited; returning late requires finding alternative street parking within the park. The guest rooms feature a simple and elegant modern Chinese style. All facilities are well-maintained. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, and a smart toilet, although the bathtub is a bit small. The breakfast selection is decent, including local specialty savory milk tea and freshly made lamb shumai. While there weren't many guests during the 9:30 am peak time, several empty trays in the bakery area remained unrefilled for a long time."

"1. I booked this hotel because it is surrounded by the city grassland and Olympic Park. When I checked in at night, I hoped to be arranged to have a room with a view. I left early the next morning and also visited Baotou. I was told that there was no room, and I was arranged to have a room. The view is shown in the last picture. There is nothing else to say. In the morning, there is a lot of noise outside when I open the balcony door, similar to the noise of the air conditioner. So it may be that I didn't encounter the kind of front desk who actively upgraded the room as mentioned in the comments. 2. Not only was there water in the kettle, but the bottom of the kettle was also very dirty, see Figure 4, which is not even as good as ordinary hotels. 3. The door of the bathroom and shower room faces the bed, without any shelter, see Figure 5, it is very inconvenient for the family to take a bath, change clothes and take things. 4. The biggest complaint is that the alarm clock starts ringing at 5:30, and I was disturbed and didn't rest well at all. Even if it was booked by the previous guest, it should be a basic operation to reset the alarm clock when cleaning the room. In summary, I booked a five-star (diamond) rating for the environment, service and facilities, but this hotel is quite disappointing."

"This time, for our trip to Xiangshawan, we chose the Shuno Hotel with its futuristic, space-themed design. The experience was fantastic! Even though the pool had some sand, the staff cleaned it daily. One of the best perks of staying at the hotel was the VIP treatment; many activities had long lines, but we could just jump right in until we were tired of them. The hotel also offered kids' craft activities, which my child absolutely loved, like making hair ties. We even got to try using a sewing machine to make things, and the staff members there were incredibly patient, showing us exactly what to do. It was excellent. The cafe offered unlimited drinks, and one of the waiters even made us a special 'hidden menu' drink that our whole family raved about – it was delicious. Overall, I highly recommend Shuno Hotel. There are so many activities, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the service is incredibly attentive."
