Hôtels 5 étoiles à Guangxi, Chine

🥳 Au-delà des attentes ★★★★★ Recommandation : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ L'hôtel est construit à flanc de montagne, juste au pied de celle-ci, et propose une pléthore d'installations de divertissement : piscines, tennis, radeaux en bambou, pêche, tout y est. Sécurité : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Par temps de pluie, du personnel attendait à l'entrée de la piscine extérieure pour éviter les accidents, empêchant quiconque d'entrer. L'emplacement de l'hôtel est excellent, avec un grand parking gratuit. Les chambres sont propres et impeccables, et la vue imprenable sur les montagnes et les rivières depuis la fenêtre est incroyablement apaisante. Le personnel de la réception est chaleureux et attentionné, et des voiturettes électriques gratuites font la navette vers et depuis la rue Ouest, ce qui facilite les déplacements. Les installations de l'hôtel sont très complètes : la piscine est divisée en zones pour adultes et pour enfants, avec une excellente qualité de l'eau et un environnement superbe. Il y a aussi une aire de jeux pour enfants, et nos petits se sont amusés tout le temps. C'est le premier choix pour les voyages en famille avec enfants. La prochaine fois que nous viendrons à Yangshuo, nous choisirons à nouveau cet hôtel.

”Extra-Large Bathtub” doesn't even begin to describe how incredibly large this bathtub was. It was more like a swimming pool. I was in heaven. I loved this hotel, the desk staff don't speak any English but they have these little ai-translation hand held devices (picture a dictaphone that translates) and are extremely helpful with a can-do attitude. I had some urgent documents I needed delivering and the staff were beyond helpful with that, I am very grateful to them. Also upon check-in they bumped me up to a suite (I didn't ask they were just being nice) and holy moly what a room. It was fabulous. The styling of this place is very old colonial palace vibes, I know they have some history displays up relating to the war but I didn't look into it, but it had a very classic airy vibe with traditional furniture and styling and I loved it. Some elements are a bit careworn and showing their age, but everything was immaculately clean. So, yes some elements like the carpeting may have seen better days but it's due to age rather than lack of attention, everything that mattered was sparkling. My shower could have fit about 5 people in there, and the bathtub another 6, so that was a real highlight, but the location was superb as well, it is on a private little resort island right next to the lake where the pagodas and bridges are. There is an easy access exit gate to the lakes, however I think it was run by the other hotel on the island because my key card didn't work late at night, however I must admit I had had a few and maybe wasn't the most able bodied reviewer in that moment. I recommend asking the staff because each night after the lake show with the performance and music lots of families were coming in that back way, so it's definitely possible I was just un-prepared. Regardless, even if you get locked out it's a short walk around to the other side of the island and the gatemen are very friendly. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel although it is not technically run by the hotel which just means it closes slightly earlier (much later than anywhere in Europe still), and when I went in the staff were just sitting around so I wasn't sure if they were open, but when they saw me they sprang into life and actually the older ladies spoke quite a lot of English and were very chatty and friendly, and they also have an iPad with an English ordering app so it is a breeze eating there. The food was very high quality and delicious, it was more expensive than eating in town but I would not say over priced given how good it was. The bar in the hotel is also nice. You can get delivery food brought directly to your room which is also excellent. They don't have room service food but why would you bother when delivery is available. The hotel has a private drive way so getting picked up for excursions or Didi rides is so easy, and the area is beautifully quiet and there are lots of birds. It is very close to all the attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill, which makes doing things (or retreating home due to the fearsome heat) very easy. I will warn you the hotel is nicely airy in the way old villas in Europe are, but because of that your air conditioning will never match that kind of incredible ice cold blast you might be familiar with in Hong Kong. Obviously, this is a very small problem when you can easily cool off in the mega-bath or mega-shower or just sit at a comfortable level of air conditioning, but if you are the kind of foreign traveller who is unaccustomed to the strong heat just be aware that this is a vintage place so you won't be able to whack the AC down to 15c and freeze yourself for relief. I really recommend this hotel, it was absolutely lovely. Oh also there is a lovely jovial old man who comes round in the evening to deliver you milk at bedtime every day, what a guy.

From the moment we stepped into the lobby lounge area, there was a sense we were in for an elevated experience. I must say, as someone unaccustomed to booking small boutique properties, that I had my fears and doubts. Walking into the lobby lounge almost erased all of those worries. The first thing that one notices immediately is how clean everything is - from the pool and lawn area, to the lobby itself, and then the rooms. It really brings a sense of calm and ease. With everything in the hotel there is so much intention and thoughtfulness to the details that make the experience so zen-like. This isn’t merely a property that wants to imitate a certain aesthetic in a cosmetic way, but rather something with a soulful integrity to it in the choice of materials that work in harmony. My kids loved their stay here and even made several new friends; they all had fun running around the pool, or playing in the playground area. The playground itself is very simple, but with a group of kids even a simple playground comes to life. The property is situated right along the Yulong River and throughout the day you see bamboo rafters drifting down the river and my wife found this very relaxing. The pool is gorgeous. It’s also very observably clean. While it was a bit chilly, my kids couldn’t resist and took a dip. While my elder child was able to handle the cold and swam quite a while, my younger one ended up in the bathtub on the balcony where I filled it with warm water so he had a chance to splash about as well. The property is also nestled amongst the tall karst mountains and you have an intimate view of them. As far as being a picture perfect property, this is as close as it gets. As for practical matters: toilets were clean with bidet function; we never had an issue with hot water; all electric sockets were universal; the appliances all worked as expected. Now, no property can be perfect and there are things that might be a matter of preference or interpretation. For me, I would say the rooms are cosier than the pictures might indicate. To be clear, the photos are accurate as far as how the rooms look and feel and also the layouts. But the photos are shot with a wide-angle lens, so just expect a slightly tighter lived-in experience. On this platform, the listed size of the rooms are large. For instance I believe the room I booked is listed at 100 metres squared; this, to me, most certainly includes the terrace as the indoor space doesn’t match my experience of 100 metres squared. The rooms are designed to maximise a sense of airiness and space which creates a lovely atmosphere, but of course this comes with some sacrifices. With my room, to achieve a more open feel, there is no partition separating the washroom area from the living room area. As a family this wasn’t a big deal, but if you’re staying with a friend this could be potentially awkward but also easily manageable. The food is terrific and the portions are generous. For some, they might find the breakfast somewhat repetitive (as some other reviewers have commented) but my family had no issues and rather looked forward to breakfast here! The coffee is also terrific. Really. I ended up buying the beans they use for their coffees. The lunch/dinner menu is also strong, although for children it can be a bit limiting although the staff do try to make accommodations as far as spice levels, etc. All in all, I would easily stay here again. It is true that the price point is on the higher end for Yangshuo, and that some people might not see the pure bang for your buck value in it, but if you’re looking for a headache free, clean, zen-like experience with picturesque views, I can’t recommend this property enough.

Nous avons séjourné à l'hôtel Shixi Tianyue lors de notre voyage à Yangshuo, et ce fut une véritable trouvaille ! L'emplacement est excellent, à seulement dix minutes à pied de la rue Ouest, ce qui est super pratique pour se promener et manger, et l'hôtel est calme le soir. La chambre est propre et élégante, avec une décoration en bois brut qui donne une impression de qualité. Les articles de toilette sont de grandes marques, un vrai plus pour les détails. La réceptionniste était très enthousiaste, elle nous a主动planifié notre itinéraire et nous a même aidés à appeler un taxi. Le petit-déjeuner offre une grande variété de choix, les nouilles de riz de Guilin sont fraîchement préparées, acidulées et appétissantes, on pourrait en manger trois jours de suite sans s'en lasser. Ils ont même offert des snacks pour notre enfant, qui était ravi. Le rapport qualité-prix est imbattable, nous reviendrons certainement ici la prochaine fois que nous serons à Yangshuo !

J'avais repéré cet hôtel quand c'était encore Alila, mais je n'ai pu y aller qu'après son changement de nom. Après le changement de nom, il est devenu trop « instagrammable » et a perdu le charme d'un complexe de luxe. Notre chambre était située près de la route. Le bruit des camions filant à toute vitesse sur cette route de montagne était insupportable, même fenêtres fermées. Le plus inacceptable, c'est le linge de lit. Je me demande sérieusement depuis combien d'années ils utilisent ce linge. Que ce soit les oreillers ou la couette, il n'y a absolument aucune sensation de confort ou d'enveloppement que l'on attend d'un hôtel de luxe. Juste de la rugosité et une lourdeur étouffante. Ajoutez à cela le bruit constant des véhicules sur la route, et le sommeil fut très mauvais. Je suggère fortement à l'hôtel d'envisager de renouveler le linge de lit en même temps que la rénovation du matériel, en particulier les oreillers, qui sont vraiment essentiels. L'hôtel est magnifique, mais il n'est que ça. La reconstruction sous un bâtiment historique a donné lieu à une nouvelle narration, mais de nombreux aspects de l'exploitation donnent l'impression que le marketing l'emporte sur la substance. Après avoir exploré les commerces de Yangshuo, j'ai réalisé qu'il était difficile de ne pas se fondre dans le moule. Je recommande tout de même de venir y séjourner pour l'expérience, mais le seul lien entre cet hôtel et un séjour de luxe est son prix élevé, ce qui est loin d'être suffisant.

This is obviously a very nice hotel and I would recommend and would stay here again. Luxury is very obvious all over this hotel, and it is frankly very cheap for what it is. The moment we came in, bellhops insisted to carry our bags up to the 80th floor lobby. They were always opening doors for us and very helpful with our bags, 24/7. Once we arrived, we were welcomed in and sat down at an individual desk for check in. There, we were served some excellent tea. The hotel purser came over and welcomed us in. My girlfriend is Chinese and spoke to the staff in Chinese, but the purser switched up to English to welcome me to the hotel, which is a nice detail. Most Chinese hotel staff consistently avoid putting in the effort to speak English to me. The hard product is amazing and is matched well with great service. Staff were always attentive and welcoming in both Chinese and English, always saying hello and checking in. The cons: This hotel, just like most Marriott hotels, is trying to nickel and dime you, which doesn’t make a lot of sense at this price point. In some ways it isn’t, such as an included mini-bar (all non-alcoholic), but for example it doesn’t have a laundry service, while basically any 3-5 star hotel in China would have included laundry. Also, there is a car transfer service, but it’s so absurdly priced for no particular reason. 400 rmb+ for basic transfers where as a Didi would be 10 rmb. Similar luxury properties such as the Ritz-Carlton has these amenities included. The restaurants were nice. We only tried Na Lian, which despite being an in-house guest and being told that they could get reservations for us, we basically were treated like walk-in’s despite being told we had reservations (and we were unable to get a window seat). The bar was also nice and we enjoyed it, the staff were very attentive and helpful. The bar manager waited for us to arrive, but the bar consistently had spend limits for any table or reservation, which additionally just seemed silly, considering we were already staying in a booked deluxe room. The drinks and lamb were very good. The menu was a little outdated, and illustrated wine by the glass, but we were then told that the menu is wrong and they don’t do that. Also, there was strangely a lack of extra towels and bins in the room. I found myself walking into the bathroom many times to throw away trash. This is a good hotel and I plan to be back again, but it can definitely improve. Too much nickel and diming. Good service and good products inspire people to come back, which is worth much more than selling one bottle of shampoo and pushing a customer to never return again. Comfy robes and slippers. 9.5/10

Cet hôtel est superbement situé en plein centre-ville, juste au bord de la rivière Li. L'environnement est magnifique. Le service de conciergerie de l'hôtel est particulièrement attentionné et chaleureux. Comme nous étions en saison des pluies, nos chaussures étaient trempées après nos excursions de la journée, et l'hôtel nous a même fourni un sèche-chaussures. Le restaurant du 6ème étage avec sa terrasse est fantastique, offrant une vue imprenable sur les paysages pittoresques de Guilin. Le pancake aux oignons verts du restaurant est absolument divin, je le recommande vivement ! Toute ma famille l'a adoré et nous en avons mangé pendant deux jours de suite 😂. Lorsque les portes-fenêtres du café dans le hall de l'hôtel sont ouvertes, on a l'impression d'être directement au bord de la rivière, c'est une sensation incroyable.

La chambre était spacieuse et très propre, avec une baignoire 🛁. C'était tellement agréable de prendre un bain après une journée de visites ! La commande vocale intelligente dans la chambre était également très pratique. Le majordome était très attentionné et son service excellent ! Nous avons également participé à l'expérience de chant bol tibétain, ce qui fut une expérience formidable. Le restaurant sur le toit avec sa terrasse offre une vue magnifique sur la montagne. La prochaine fois que je viendrai à Yangshuo, je reviendrai certainement ici !

Je tiens à féliciter chaleureusement l'hôtel pour son excellent service ! De mon arrivée à mon départ, chaque membre du personnel m'a accueilli avec le sourire, me faisant sentir comme chez moi. La chambre était spacieuse et lumineuse, d'une propreté impeccable, et le matelas et les oreillers étaient exceptionnellement confortables pour une excellente nuit de sommeil. Un grand merci à Grace à la réception pour le surclassement, une délicate attention qui fut une délicieuse surprise. Grâce à ses petites attentions et à son service attentionné, ce séjour fut une expérience inoubliable, que je recommande vivement !

This hotel is a wonderful place to unwind for anyone looking to escape the stress of city life. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptionally attentive every member of staff welcomed us warmly and always greeted us with a genuine smile. The rooms are beautifully designed in a timeless style. What stood out to me most was the high level of cleanliness and the excellent amenities. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and you hardly want to leave your balcony. We also had a private whirlpool, which was perfect for this time of year and made our stay even more relaxing. I would especially like to praise the housekeeping staff. The ladies did an outstanding job—everything was spotless, hygienic, and cleaned very thoroughly. Another true highlight was the incredible food experience. Every afternoon we were treated to attentive afternoon service with desserts that were clearly prepared with love and care. The breakfast deserves special mention. I have stayed at some of the best five-star resorts, and I can honestly say that the quality of the breakfast buffet here was outstanding. While it is smaller than those of large resort chains, it clearly follows the philosophy of quality over quantity, and nothing was missing. Many of the vegetables came from the hotel’s own garden, which made the experience feel even more authentic and fresh. The soup selection was excellent, and the beef soup was rich and generous—you could truly taste the passion and love the chef puts into their work. The surrounding area offers several attractions, although some are unfortunately closed during the winter season. I would recommend arriving by car so you can visit places like the nearby waterfall and other sights. My only small criticism would be that the hotel could offer more excursion options for guests without a car. That said, we really appreciated that on our first evening we were kindly driven to the nearby small town for dinner. The resort is also very family-friendly and offers a variety of activities for both adults and children, such as magnet crafting, fishing, and sports activities like yoga. A very thoughtful gesture was made at checkout, when we were given rice from the hotel’s own cultivation. This was something I truly appreciated and found very meaningful. I would definitely recommend this resort to everyone. My husband and I would love to return—next time in spring.
