HHarperqiqigongzhuMy enjoyable National Day holiday has ended, but my heart is still in Qiandao Lake. Hilton truly lives up to its reputation as an established luxury hotel. The room was spacious, the view was excellent, and the amenities were thoughtfully detailed. It's perfect for a family trip with kids; you could easily spend three full days just enjoying the hotel.
Transportation: Fearing traffic jams during National Day, I opted for the high-speed rail. The hotel offers a free shuttle service that requires advance booking, but since the frequency was low, I chose to take a taxi instead. It was very convenient, costing around 40-50 RMB and taking about half an hour to arrive.
Environment: Overall, it was excellent. Even during the National Day period, there were no queues or crowds. We arrived around noon, checked in, stored our luggage, had lunch, and our room was ready by about 2 PM. Because there was an issue with our original room, our butler Anna upgraded us to a deluxe lake view room. Not only did it have a superb view, but being on the 3rd floor also made it very convenient for dining and activities. The room's layout was well-designed, with a blackout curtain between the bathroom area and the bedroom, which was perfect for our child's afternoon nap. The bathtub was large, and disposable bathtub liners and bath salts were provided. It was spacious enough for the kids to take a shower in too. The bathroom and shower were separate. The only minor issue was a slight odor from the glass door being continuously sealed, but it wasn't a major problem. The balcony had a drying rack, and there was a large spare umbrella in the closet, showing great attention to detail.
Service: I added our butler Anna on WeChat, and I could contact her there for anything. Her service was excellent, and she responded very quickly. The hotel offers a wealth of activities, making it super suitable for families with kids. There are 2-3 free activities daily, plus indoor and outdoor kids' clubs, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a sandpit. You'll run out of energy before you run out of things to do! The kids' club stays open until 9 PM, so you can even go for another play after dinner. Just remember to bring non-slip socks for both children and adults.
Overall, I was very satisfied with this 3-day, 2-night trip. I snagged a package deal that only cost an extra 300 RMB during the National Day period. It also included a complimentary travel photoshoot (which was easy to book since it was within the hotel) and water park access (which we didn't get to experience due to rain). The breakfast was also very rich. I would definitely come back here again on my next visit to Qiandao Lake.
