Spa hotels in Guilin

I have traveled to more than 30 countries over the past 12 years, and this is the first time I have truly felt that I could call a hotel ”home”—even though so many hotels try to create that feeling. We live in France and flew to China for vacation, hoping to experience both the peaceful natural wonders and the lively local culture of Yangshuo. This hotel’s location is perfect! It sits directly in front of the Li River with an unobstructed view, yet it is just a short walk to West Street and the harbor. We could easily switch between a peaceful, relaxing session overlooking the river and an energetic exploration of the local crowds. Taking a warm bath while gazing at the river and mist-shrouded mountains—all while enjoying local tea and sweets—was an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is brand new, featuring excellent and spotless facilities, including a 24-hour free self-service laundry and a rooftop with stunning open views. The design beautifully blends modern style with local Chinese Zhuang culture. On top of that, the hotel offers free access to local ”Ta-Ying” activities, photo shoots in traditional minority costumes, and discounted tickets for popular local shows like Impression Liu Sanjie. Most importantly, the hospitality was extraordinary. The team treated us with immense care and kindness from the moment we arrived until well after we got back home to France! They used professional translation devices to ensure seamless communication. The hotel manager, Ms. Ni, along with front desk staff Ms. Deng and Ms. Li, not only responded attentively to every request throughout our stay, but also provided invaluable advice for exploring Yangshuo. We were even given a thoughtful gift set when checking out at 6:00 AM, followed by a warm message once we returned home. This level of hospitality truly deserves to be recognized and appreciated. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and hard work, and I wish the entire team and the hotel all the best!

First off, I'd like to commend the customer service here. They added me on WeChat three days in advance to inform me about check-in procedures and recommend local eateries. Secondly, the hotel's location is excellent; it's within walking distance to the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. The room was very spacious, and the 2.4-meter king-size bed easily accommodated the three of us without feeling cramped. The bedding was comfortable, and the breakfast offered a good variety. The only minor drawback was that the central air conditioning vent in the room was a bit noisy.

I visited during the off-peak season, and the hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the cruise pier, making it convenient to get to West Street. The river view room really won me over, and there's also a viewing terrace upstairs. The service was great; the front desk and restaurant staff were very polite and thoughtful. The hardware facilities are far superior to chain hotels – the lighting control, power outlets, sofa, and bedside tables are all very thoughtfully designed. The only minor thing is that the cruise boats on the river might sound their horns; I heard it twice in the morning, but it was still acceptable. I'd give it a 4.5-star rating to encourage them! 😁 Overall, I highly recommend this place and will choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Great stay in Yangshuo! We encountered a minor issue during our visit, but the staff handled it quickly and efficiently, which was a huge relief. Our family room was spacious and perfectly laid out for a family. The views from the window were absolutely stunning. We also enjoyed the ethnic costume photo experience, which added a wonderful atmosphere to our trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

The ground floor features an outdoor leisure and relaxation lawn ⛱️ + swing, a children's playground, indoor and outdoor restaurants, and views of lush green rice paddies.

The entire essence of the Ten-Mile Gallery's beautiful scenery is captured right here. Guilin's beautiful mountains and waters truly come to life at this moment. --- The room I booked was spacious and bright, with a minimalist, luxurious, Instagram-worthy style. Two huge, absolutely beautiful window views offer picturesque scenery during the day. In the evening, during the 'blue hour,' it's full of mysterious ambiance. The bathtub 🛁 by the bed allows you to relax and enjoy while soaking—cozy and comfortable. It's truly beautiful and so comfortable. Travel experience: 💯 I could honestly lie here all day long.

Yangshuo Sugarhouse has always been a hotel I've wanted to visit, and a serendipitous opportunity finally brought me here, marking my first trip to Yangshuo. True to its pictures, it's exactly as you've seen it. Admittedly, it's no longer a new hotel, and I had some reservations beforehand, as similar-priced hotels in the same category might offer larger, more luxurious options. However, for design enthusiasts, Sugarhouse is special; it's a destination in itself. My first impression was that the hotel is reasonably well-maintained, and the service is always pleasant and attentive. I always assumed these were standard expectations in such hotels, not worth mentioning. Yet, it wasn't until I truly experienced the various facets of Yangshuo that I realized Sugarhouse is an oasis in this bustling, chaotic, and often less-than-pleasant destination. Yangshuo is beautiful, but its natural charm isn't always enough to offset some disappointing tourist experiences. You might exert a lot of effort trying to soak in the legendary landscapes, only to be left unsatisfied, perhaps due to early mornings or overwhelming crowds. But at Sugarhouse, you can intimately connect with Yangshuo's mountains and rivers, as they are right outside your room, beyond the iconic pool view. During the day, you can fully immerse yourself in nature undisturbed, and as dusk falls, the lights of Impression Liu Sanjie illuminate them, making you a part of the landscape. Finding such tranquility in this destination is incredibly precious, a realization I only had after switching to other hotels. The service here carries a hint of genuine, endearing awkwardness, and you can sense that achieving this level of service isn't easy. The bartender at 1969 Bar recommended a special concoction when I was indecisive, allowing me to savor the last season's season of loquat gin, which was unforgettable. Lucy at the front desk was incredibly helpful in resolving my issues, and when I pointed out some minor flaws in the room, they were already being addressed – truly tiny details that not everyone would notice, demonstrating their genuine care for guests. I met a gentleman at breakfast who enthusiastically and meticulously introduced me to oil tea and proactively helped me carry it to my upstairs seat when my hands were full. On my departure day, I even saw him standing at the lobby entrance at 36 degrees Celsius, assisting guests. Later, I learned he was the hotel's general manager. The people here are sincere and responsible, and what initially felt like minor imperfections transformed into a stark difference after comparison. I can give the experience here full marks. Some friends might find it too boring, with too many cars on the highway outside the rooms. But if you've experienced the endless swarm of electric scooters, the ubiquitous paid parking lots, and the so-called villas that cost 3,000 yuan with no view whatsoever, you'll realize that not only is the pricing here quite fair, but it's also almost the only viable accommodation option in Yangshuo. Of course, this is just for reference if you don't plan on venturing out, but Sugarhouse still offers many interesting services that make it a highly recommendable choice.

The room was quiet and comfortable, and although the guesthouse facilities were compact, they had everything one could need. The parking lot was large with ample space. My stay was excellent. It's just a few minutes' walk to West Street, and you can start exploring the Ten-Mile Gallery scenic area about 10 minutes away by electric scooter from the guesthouse. Highly recommended!

First off, the hotel's ambiance is truly exceptional, making it perfect for a staycation. Our villa faced the Qianguqing Scenic Area, backed by mountains and forests. Plus, the restaurant and rooms all offered breathtaking views of the natural landscape. Every corner of the hotel felt thoughtfully designed – you could take amazing photos anywhere. The seventh floor houses the restaurant, and there's an outdoor pool on the eighth, which was incredibly relaxing. It's the kind of place where you could happily spend an entire day. Secondly, the location is incredibly convenient. Right next to the Qianguqing Scenic Area, it's also very close to the Yulong River, West Street, and the Ten-Mile Gallery. Thirdly, the butler service was incredibly attentive and warm, making us feel right at home. Overall, highly recommended!

Yangshuo Shixi Tianyue Hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance to West Street and the Li River pier. It's a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and clean, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering scenic mountain and river views, and the bedding is very comfortable. The rooftop Sky Mirror is perfect for photos. The hotel also features a swimming pool, a kids' playground, and a rich breakfast selection. The service is attentive and thoughtful, and parking is convenient for those driving. It's easy to get around and explore, offering great value for money.

Huge thanks to the Shangri-La Hotel for helping my father retrieve his lost sunglasses! They were a very precious gift. The hotel staff immediately acted upon receiving our message and arranged a search. I imagine a lot of resources were involved; my colleague mentioned they searched for at least two hours. Initially, we thought they were left in the restaurant, and Manager Wang Zhenshan from the restaurant tirelessly helped us search. Front Office Manager Luo Hongping and Concierge staff Wang Jun and Fang Weilin were also incredibly proactive in their search. Finally, the glasses were found by the housekeeping department, and I'm very grateful to the housekeeping lady for her diligent and responsible work. I will definitely choose Shangri-La for future trips. I'm a loyal fan! Staying with a big brand like this is both reassuring and safe, and the breakfast is also incredibly rich.
