Wanda Ruijing Hannashan Hot Spring Hotel

We stayed in the family suite, which is perfectly designed for a family trip, especially with two kids. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. The hot springs are right downstairs, which is super convenient for guests. Breakfast, however, was a major drawback. Forget about the variety, the breakfast hours were only from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. None of the other hotels in the resort have such late hours. We had booked a rafting trip and could only manage to get on the earliest 6 AM slot, and I was constantly worried about not making it back in time for breakfast. Luckily, we just caught the tail end of it. To make matters worse, despite the room being nice, the showerheads had issues. I'm not sure if it's the water pressure or the design, but to get hot water, the stream would become incredibly tiny, even smaller than the faucet. If you tried to open it up a bit more, it would turn cold. Both shower rooms were like this. I put up with it for the first two days by showering at the hot springs downstairs. On the last day, I finally brought it up to the hotel, and they sent a fruit platter as compensation. But honestly, the quality of the hotel's fruit was really disappointing.

Let's start with the positives: the hot spring clearly had a significant investment, and it's conveniently located right downstairs from the hotel after skiing. This means you don't have to shiver your way back to your room after a shower, which is definitely the biggest, and perhaps only, advantage of this hotel. Regarding skiing: Other hotels provide ski passes, but here you're recognized by facial scan. They just wave their sleeve to get through, while we have to remove our helmets and masks every single time. Now for the negatives: The air conditioning doesn't cool, there's no exhaust fan in the bathroom, and the room has zero soundproofing. You can hear every step and conversation in the hallway in the morning crystal clear. It's hard to believe this is a situation that could occur in a 5-star hotel, costing 1500 a night, opening in 2026. The person on the right side of the room was boiling hot, while the person on the left opened the window for ventilation and caught a cold. This room feels like a spa massage room that was directly converted into a hotel guest room. It's absolutely ridiculous! I need to tell everyone coming to this hotel: it's absolutely ridiculous!!!

The ski package offers free skiing for two people per room; a third person will need to pay. Breakfast is decent and filling. The main draw is the skiing and the free hot springs. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the Northeastern cuisine is delicious. There's also a bar for drinks, music, and socializing after dinner. The resort boasts over 30 ski trails and is close to the airport, with a hotel shuttle service to and from the airport and high-speed rail station.

The room was very clean, and having a twin room with an in-room hot spring bath was incredibly convenient. I'd suggest avoiding the 3rd floor, though, as it gets quite hot. Service: The service was excellent. Especially Xiao Lin at the front desk – she responded to WeChat messages instantly and was very thoughtful, easygoing, and provided great service. 👍👍

Location: It's right at the entrance of Wanda Resort, next to the food street and opposite the lake, so the view is great. Facilities: The room is quite spacious, and you can enjoy a hot spring bath right in your room. Cleanliness: The cleanliness is acceptable, but there were quite a few small bugs, probably due to autumn.

This place is very comfortable for groups, and it's convenient for hot spring baths. The breakfast was a bit lacking, but after all, it's a bath center, not a hotel.
