Hotels with Bars in Pingyao County

This guesthouse is located just a hundred meters inside Pingyao's North Gate. While it's a little removed from the county government and other core ancient city attractions, it escapes the hustle and bustle of the streets, offering a quiet and peaceful retreat. The architectural design is very thoughtful. The soft Tiffany blue palette blends seamlessly with the traditional brick courtyard. The three jujube trees in the courtyard add a unique touch of the ancient city's rustic charm, creating a perfect blend of old and new with a wonderful atmosphere. The service from the staff was exceptionally warm. Transfers were well-arranged, and the staff were very welcoming. The young owner was innocent and playful, even offering my younger brother some biscuits. The family suite we stayed in was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped. The butler provided meticulous care, ensuring both the elderly and children had a pleasant stay. Unfortunately, our trip was rushed, and we only stayed for one night, leaving with a feeling of wanting more.

A few days ago, I went out with my boyfriend and booked this inn with a relatively high cost performance. I mainly like the ancient style of decoration. It was my first time staying in a kang and I felt very comfortable. The kang was very big and the bathroom was very clean. Overall, it was very good. From the second floor, you can see the scenery of the city wall, which looks very nice!

The inn is located within Pingyao Ancient City. It's about a 10-minute walk from the West Gate. If you have a lot of luggage, you can contact the front desk for a pickup. The inn itself is a hundred-year-old quadrangle courtyard building with distinctively themed rooms. My room featured a spacious and comfortable 2.4-meter *kang* bed, and everything was clean and hygienic. The reception staff, Zhang Caiping, was incredibly thoughtful, warmly introducing us to the ancient city's unique attractions and transportation options. The inn's dinner primarily features Shanxi specialties, with dishes like醋鸡蛋 (vinegar eggs), 烤栳栳 (roasted *laolao* noodles), and 陈醋花生 (aged vinegar peanuts) being particularly distinctive and delicious. Breakfast was simple, clean, hygienic, and tasty. On the day we checked out, it was raining lightly, so Zhang Caiping arranged for a free bus to take us to the West Gate parking lot. This gesture made us feel incredibly warm and eased any disappointment we had about touring the ancient city in the rain.

⭐A beautiful hotel in the heart of Pingyao Ancient City, located in a charming old theatre full of history and character. The staff are welcoming, helpful, and can arrange a very comfortable transfer to the train station. Two small points for improvement: the advertised spa is not on-site but provided through an external service, and the Western breakfast needs to be reserved in advance. Despite these details, it was an excellent stay. Highly recommended for its unique atmosphere, perfect location, and great hospitality.

The courtyard is exceptionally beautiful, with a classic, antique charm. The night view is also lovely. The rooms are clean and hygienic; it's a typical Shanxi merchant courtyard. Hygiene: Clean Service: Good service attitude

We enjoyed an absolutely fabulous three-day stay at Jing's Residence. The building itself is a very nicely modernized Qing-era building. We've stayed in some similarly ages buildings in Europe and this was right up with the nicest of them. The spaces look very similar to the ones in the museums in town, albeit with bathrooms and more comfortable furnishings. The service was absolutely impeccable. Our room was constantly restocked with complementary drinks and baked goods, and the front desk staff (Crystal and Leo) was helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation to the train station to us mixing up our departure date (whoops). All staff spoke great English. Afternoon tea was a particularly nice touch: no fee, great service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Food was light Chinese snacks, not the huge spread of a British-style high tea. Breakfast was a similar relaxing experience. We tried all the of the Chinese-style options and they were all excellent. We did not try the Western-style options. Dinner was a set menu, shown to us in the morning before making the reservation. It was a combination of Western dishes and local Pingyao/Shanxi food. If given the choice we would have preferred purely Chinese food, but it was all very good and honestly the change of peace was probably good-- getting a salad was nice after two weeks in China. The Pingyao Beef was the highlight: big cubes of high quality meat, easily my favorite of the three places we had this dish. The bar had a nice selection of Western wines, Scotch, etc, but I was disappointed to not see any local rice wine or Baiji. Air conditioning worked very well in our room, easily getting the temperature down under 20C even at midday on ＞30C days. Overall I really can't recommend this place enough: this hotel was really a highlight of our trip.

Facilities: Well-equipped Cleanliness: Always cleaned and very tidy Ambiance: Absolutely stunning for a historical visit. This is a centuries-old inn, with seven courtyards deep. Being here felt like stepping back into the glorious era when Jin merchants thrived. Service: Excellent. There are two incredibly cute kittens in the courtyard that my son absolutely adored. The owner even provided toys for playing with them. When we weren't out exploring, my son spent his time in the courtyard playing with the cats and had a wonderful time.

The Xinghuacun Hotel boasts an excellent location right in the heart of Pingyao Ancient City, directly across from the county government office. A right turn out of the hotel brings you to the bustling South Street, where all the major attractions are located. The rooms are incredibly spacious and feature double sinks. They're also super cool; we didn't even need to use the AC at night, making for a very comfortable sleep. The abalone millet porridge at breakfast was delicious, and the pour-over latte coffee was just as good as what you'd find in a coffee shop. The mini-fridge was stocked with various complimentary beverages, and all the bottled water was Baishui Mountain brand. What surprised us most was the complimentary fruit delivered every afternoon, and a thoughtful farewell gift upon check-out. The service truly was superb! 👍 Highly recommended!

The cleanliness was exceptional; it was visibly spotless with no dust or strange odors, and the bedding was changed promptly. The environment is charming and rustic, the service is thoughtful, and the location is excellent, making travel convenient. It was a comfortable stay, and I'll definitely choose this place first again next time I'm in town.
