5-Star Hotels in Anhui, China

We loved our stay at J Mountain. The balcony faces the 人字瀑布 (Renzi Waterfall) and the view is absolutely amazing — interestingly, the waterfall also doubles as a weather indicator for conditions up the mountain, since you can gauge what's happening higher up by the volume of water coming down. The location is excellent too, only 500m from the Yuping cableway. The hotel also provides a complimentary shuttle with driver to both the Yuping and Yungu cableways, as well as to Tangkou town, which made getting around incredibly convenient. On rainy days they even provided us with rubber shoe covers and raincoats — a really thoughtful touch. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious with generous portions, which was a real bonus after a long day on the mountain. A really memorable stay and highly recommended for anyone climbing Huangshan.

Perched on the cliff face of Lion Peak at an elevation of 1630 meters, the hotel offers breathtaking views of rolling cloud seas and majestic peaks right outside your window. It's within walking distance of attractions like Monkey Watching the Sea and Shixin Peak, making it easy to catch both sunrise and sunset. Although our visit was hampered by rainy weather, preventing us from enjoying the sunrise and sunset, the fusion of the 400-year-old Red Temple with modern glass villas creates a serene atmosphere where Zen coexists with nature. Here, gazing at the clouds, listening to the pine trees, and stargazing truly soothe away all weariness. It's definitely worth another trip to Huangshan for this experience.

My stay at Yingjia Jinling Hotel was absolutely perfect! The hotel's exterior is luxurious and elegant, and stepping into the lobby, I was immediately struck by its dazzling golden ambiance. The staff greeted us with smiles throughout, and check-in was efficient and convenient. They even thoughtfully upgraded us to an executive room. The room was spacious and bright, and the double-sided mirror design of the vanity was particularly practical, allowing men to wash up and women to apply makeup without disturbing each other – a thoughtful touch. Upon check-in, we were not only greeted with fresh welcome fruit but also received a small, exquisite gift, a gesture that warmed our hearts. Upon check-out, the beautiful lobby manager, Ms. Wang Meng, personally escorted us to the door, politely bidding us farewell – a heartwarming detail that left a lasting impression. The hotel is surrounded by many attractions, but due to time constraints, we only visited Foziling Reservoir and Liuwanqing Gorge. We'll leave the unexplored beauty for our next trip – and I will definitely choose Yingjia Jinling Hotel again then!

My stay at Luming Valley Hotspring Holidays B&B exceeded every expectation from the moment we drove up the hill. My husband and I stayed in the Mountainscape Terrace Mountain View Suite, which genuinely felt like a 5‑star hotel room. It was spotless, beautifully furnished, and equipped with an incredibly comfortable bed, a fully stocked mini fridge, and a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. The smart controls operated by “Xiao Bao” were a fun and convenient touch. We were completely blown away and honestly wished we could have stayed in the room forever. Even before our arrival, the staff communicated with us via WeChat to ensure everything went smoothly. We were able to speak with an English‑speaking staff member who took care of every detail for us—booking the hot springs, arranging breakfast, dinner, and afternoon tea, and even offering to help us get to the train station on our last day. Their attentiveness went far beyond anything we’ve experienced at other hotels. We were even given a thoughtful bag of gifts upon departure. Because the hotel is quite isolated, we ate all our meals on-site. The cuisine is Chinese, which isn’t usually my preference, but everything was delicious, freshly prepared, and presented with great care. A standout was the afternoon tea we enjoyed on our second day. We could choose to dine in our room or at the restaurant, which was perfect depending on how we felt each day. The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot springs. There are four in total, and we used the two located higher on the hill, which offered an incredible view—even on a cloudy day. The temperature was perfect, and everything was exceptionally clean. The staff assured us that each pool is drained and refilled after every use, which gave us great peace of mind. Soaking in the hot springs in the heart of winter, surrounded by Huangshan’s beautiful mountains, was an unforgettable experience. The hotel is about an hour from both Huangshanxi and Huangshanbei stations and easily reachable by car or Didi. Due to the weather, we didn’t visit the mountain scenic area, but the staff were more than willing to help us plan if we wanted to explore the surroundings. This was truly a 10/10 stay. The staff make you feel like you’re the only guests there with their warmth and attentiveness. The design and architecture are stunning, and the hotel even smells amazing. I have absolutely no complaints and would rank this among the best hotels I’ve stayed at anywhere in the world. It’s a perfect romantic getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. I can’t wait to return!

First of all, the hotel's location is excellent, right next to the ticket gate, and across the street from the core temple complex of Jiuhua Mountain. The temples are just steps away, making worshipping Buddha incredibly convenient! There's a direct bus to Huatai right outside the hotel, and the shuttle bus stop is just a minute or two's walk uphill, making it perfect for families with children and elderly members—no walking required. I must commend the hotel front desk staff on the morning of May 4th. When I checked out that morning, I left my jacket with my car keys in my room. I had already boarded the shuttle bus to Huatai, so I immediately called the front desk. The staff promptly went to my room, found my jacket and car keys, and placed them on the next shuttle bus to Huatai. I'm so grateful!!!

My experience at The Langham Hefei was absolutely perfect. The location is convenient, and the British-style decor feels very upscale. The rose scent in the lobby was a delightful touch. The room was clean and spacious, with a great view from the high floor, excellent soundproofing, and comfortable bedding. Staff member Xiao Fu provided attentive and thoughtful service. Breakfast was extensive, and the facilities, including the pool and gym, were well-equipped. It's suitable for both business and leisure trips. Highly recommended, I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Located on the back mountain, the room wasn't huge, but the service was excellent – they were very responsive to all our requests. We had both the lunch buffet and breakfast, and the food was good. The sunrise and sea of clouds probably aren't as impressive as from Bright Summit. Unfortunately, due to heavy fog this time, we couldn't see anything. There was an evening performance. Huangshan is incredibly tough to climb; it's constant ups and downs over mountains and ridges, leaving my legs aching. The West Sea monorail only offered standing tickets. Taking the Yuping cable car up is the classic route, passing by the Greeting Pine, Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, and either Aoyu Cave or One-Line-Sky to reach Aoyu Peak, then continuing to Bright Summit. For someone nearing fifty, just looking at the route feels challenging. The weather in Huangshan changes rapidly; one moment it was clear blue skies, and the next, dense fog rolled in.

Had a great mini-break here – just two days but totally worth it. Staff were super friendly, service was spot on. The pool is huge and perfect for a proper swim. Breakfast buffet had loads of options – everyone in our family found their favourite. All in all, a brilliant stay!

I loved the location, views, and style of the villas. Unfortunately, our tachuan villa smelled strongly of mold and when I asked the bellboy if we could change rooms, he said most of them have this smell. It was very unpleasant but I had no choice but to bear it. On my last day I went to see a newly vacated lucun villa and it was much better with no smell. The food at dinner was just okay - I felt that the food at the banyan tree Hangzhou was better. The drinks at the lobby bar were delicious and I enjoyed sitting outside each evening to watch the sunset. My son loved the petting zoo - the animals seemed well cared for. We also enjoyed the activities each day, especially the iron fireworks. It was very special. I would definitely return but only if the hotel can guarantee a non-moldy smelling room. Service was quite good - the staff were clever and used AI to translate stuff into English for me. They were also able to arrange transfers where ever I needed to go.

This was a spontaneous trip, just an hour's drive from Hefei. The environment is exactly as advertised, truly the best hotel in the Daiao Mountain scenic area. The most pleasant surprise was the service; someone came to help with our luggage as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, and welcome fruits were already set up in our room. Our two days at the hotel were quiet and relaxing. We even made traditional Chinese medicine sachets, which had a very healing scent, and enjoyed a singing bowl session. The distant sound of the bells 🔔 was quite memorable. A special shout-out to Buyun Restaurant – we ate there two days in a row! The breakfast had a wide variety and beautiful presentation, and the specialty dishes for lunch and dinner were delicious. There was a 30-minute wait for food, which just showed that everything was freshly cooked to order. On the second day, we hiked up Daiao Mountain, reaching the summit in 30 minutes – the perfect amount of exercise.
