Boutique Hotels in Anhui, China

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at within a scenic area. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a hotel butler who was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests, almost instantly. They provided us with all sorts of travel tips and guides, truly offering exceptional and detailed service. The breakfast was very rich and easily the best meal we had during our two days in Huangshan. In the morning, the hotel even organized a guided trip to Aoyu Peak to watch the sunrise. I was practically dead asleep, but hearing the departure sounds from below the hotel actually motivated me and my child to rush out, and we ended up seeing the sunrise! It was absolutely fantastic!

Very nice hotel in Wuhu. I stayed for one night. The room was spacious and had a nice view of the city. The open floor plan is interesting and enjoyed the heated floors in the bathroom area. The bed was comfortable and large enough for me (6’5”). Breakfast had a large variety to select from, and enjoyed the Chinese dishes the most. The hotel is located right next to the river, and I enjoyed walking on the boardwalk. Great place to stay.

The room quality is excellent. They thoughtfully provide a clothes drying rack, down jackets, and raincoats, which are perfect for Huangshan's characteristic rainy and misty weather. The hotel's location is at the junction of the Xihai, Beihai, and Tianhai (Bright Summit) areas. It's about a 15-minute walk to Paiyun Pavilion for sunset and Danxia Peak for sunrise. Reaching the traditional sunrise viewing spot at Bright Summit takes about 45 minutes. It's very suitable for guests planning a day and a half or two-day itinerary. There are also special performances in the evening. The hotel's buffet quality is also very good. In addition to traditional Chinese and Anhui specialty dishes, there are also some Western-style options, making it very friendly for international tourists.

This hotel is located in the direction of the Yungu Temple cable car on the back of Huangshan Mountain, about a 40-minute walk away. On the way, you'll pass by Shixin Peak and the 'Magic Pen Blooms' scenic spot. The hotel faces 'Monkey Watching the Sea,' making it perfect for guests who start their ascent late in the afternoon on their first day. The hotel is very new, and the public areas are quite luxurious. The only drawback is that the rooms are a bit small. They offer a buffet for 198 RMB per person with excellent dishes and a wide variety of fruits; children under 1.2 meters eat for free. The concierge, Xinyu, is very attentive and responds quickly. The hotel also organizes guided sunset and sunrise viewing activities, and there are evening performances. Plus, the view from the observation deck in front of the hotel is already stunning. If there's heavy fog in the mountains and you can't see the peaks from the observation deck, there's no need to climb up to 'Monkey Watching the Sea.'

This Hilton hotel, located in one of Wuhu's landmark twin towers, is incredibly beautiful. Hilton's maintenance standards consistently surpass competitors, and I really appreciate the sense of stability and tranquility here. The corner room is very spacious, offering unparalleled views of both the river and the twin towers at night. I'm so glad Wuhu's landmark is so well-maintained. I hope to stay here again on my next trip back to China. By then, once the Jihe Plaza downstairs is renovated, I doubt we'll see such great prices! Additionally, the room service and the offerings from the pastry shop were excellent. If you're not overly concerned with the fitness facilities, this is undoubtedly the top choice in Wuhu.

Overall, my stay at this hotel was great. It's super convenient being so close to Hefei South Railway Station. Plus, there's a large underground parking lot that's free to use. The room was spacious – I booked a king-sized bed and they upgraded me to a room with a bathtub. They even provided a complimentary bottle of red wine, a steam eye mask, and a bathtub liner. The smart home features throughout the room were a nice touch, and I appreciated the high-quality hairdryer provided. It was also cool to see them offer Luan Guapian tea, which is a local specialty. The breakfast buffet had a good variety, covering everything from drinks to fried foods and stir-fries. The service was quite attentive too; they even offer laundry service, which was a lifesaver – I had an attendant iron my shirt for me. I'd definitely choose to stay here again if I come back to Hefei.

Hands down, this is the best five-star hotel in Hefei! Especially the food quality, it's top-notch! 1. **Service**: They contacted me via WeChat a day in advance to confirm my needs. Upon arrival, everything was perfectly arranged, and my room was upgraded. I also received welcome fruits and drinks. From the moment I stepped out of the car to the lobby and then to the front desk, multiple staff members proactively offered to help with my luggage. Every staff member I encountered, from the entrance to my room, greeted me with a smile. When checking out, the doorman actively assisted with my luggage. 2. **Facilities**: The room facilities were all standard and complete, including an air purifier. The AC had low noise, and hot water was instant (within 3 seconds). I didn't find any damaged facilities or noticeable hygiene issues. The toiletries were InterContinental's standard, and they were decent. The toilet paper and tissue paper were comfortable to use. The toothbrush quality was acceptable, but the brush head was small and a bit hard on the gums; I suggest the hotel consider changing them. 3. **Dining (see pictures)**: The variety and taste of the food at the Executive Lounge's Happy Hour were the best I've ever experienced at a hotel – truly excellent value for money! The breakfast quality was also remarkably high, rarely seen even in standard five-star hotels; it was simply stunning. 4. **Location**: It's in the government district, with all amenities nearby and convenient transportation. It's also right next to Swan Lake, offering excellent views. I rarely bother to write reviews, but this time, I genuinely enjoyed my stay and had to give it a thumbs-up! I hope to visit again.

I have been to Jiuhuashan for five or six years. I found a treasure hotel this year. I felt the warm service of the front desk lady as soon as I entered the door. The style is also the only one in Jiuhuashan. The room also has a small terrace and arranged for me Jiuhua Street pick-up service. The bartender is also very handsome. It is convenient to go down if you want to drink anything. Afternoon tea is also given to fruit plates and small mousse. Overall, I am very satisfied. I will choose this one when I come to Jiuhuashan next year.

Where to stay in Luyang District? Shangri-La, of course! Don't ask me how I know, I've experienced it firsthand (quiet, clean, and fully equipped). The rooms are quite spacious, just a bit dated in terms of decor. They could definitely add an air purifier. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it's peaceful, which I really like. The coffee is decent, though there aren't many Western breakfast options.

Finally, we were able to experience the Grand Hyatt Hefei during this spring break, and it was a wonderful 2-night staycation! The Regency Deluxe Twin room was perfect - very clean, spacious, well appointed and with great city views. We enjoyed the onsen style bath in the room; the pool, steam and sauna facilities were all good. Room service was great, satisfying the midnight cravings of my family. Breakfast had an awesome spread - a balanced variety of local and western dishes. Dinner and drinks at the Club Lounge were pretty good, even for vegetarians. Drink selection was curated very well even if a bit limited. It was a great place to hang out after dinner and drinks, especially after we convinced our family friends to check in and join us the next nigh. Also, shoutout to the great service from the lovely club lounge staff! Special thanks to Lily, our WeChat contact, who went above expectations in being proactive and supported all our needs. We brought up something for improvement that aligns with current industry practice and she happily resolved it during our stay. Great customer service for sure!
