Chengjiang Hotels with Kitchens

"I came to this Hilton, hoping to experience 'China's most beautiful Hilton,' but left quite disappointed. The surrounding area offers very little, making for a rather boring stay. Breakfast wasn't good either, and we hastily checked out by 9 AM the next day. Facilities: The cabinet doors were crooked and loose, and the headboard was tattered. Hygiene: No issues found. Environment: Calling it 'China's most beautiful Hilton' is an overstatement. The decor is similar to many other seaside resorts from the same period, and the environment isn't as good as the Zhoushan Westin, which is in the same price range and from the same era. Service: The service was proactive and attentive. They proactively upgraded us from a Deluxe Lake View to an Executive Lake View. However, in this particular room type, the lake-facing side was largely obstructed by a wall, with the sliding glass door taking up a concerningly small portion. Was this really an upgrade? Side note: The 'Imperial Restaurant' within the hotel offers a 399 hot pot fish set menu that is genuinely awful – absolutely do not order it! On this Yunnan trip, I stayed at the Pullman Dali, Qianshanji, Hilton Fuxian Lake, and Kunming Haiqiao View, and the Hilton was by far the worst experience. This older hotel is truly not worth the price. Overall, it was a disappointing stay."

"We are American expats living in Hong Kong and came to Kunming area for our school’s Easter holiday. We cannot say enough about this beautiful hotel, located in a picturesque village along the northeastern coast of Fuxian Lake. Positives: 1. the location is AMAZING. The village itself feels very Mediterranean and houses over 30 boutique-style hotels. 2. This specific hotel has the most beautiful Chinese garden. My husband and I spent ample time just sitting in the garden chatting and looking at the beautiful flowers. They also have a basket swing our kids played on. 3. The design of the hotel is beautiful…..thatched roofing and wooden doors on the outside, reeded ceilings with wooden beams on the inside…..it all looked so warm and lovely. 4. Our specific room was a 2-level lake view family suite that had a terrace outside the upper level bedroom (which was the “master”). The view from this upper bedroom was so gorgeous….prime view of the lake. 5. The bathroom in our suite was modern and seemed to have some kind of heating fan over the shower area which was an added bonus. 6. The breakfast was traditional Chinese style. By this time, we were at the end of our trip and were a bit tired of rice noodles for breakfast (we are used to western-style breakfasts), but as soon as we tasted this hotel’s rice noodles, it was easy to forget we were tired of them. They were delicious! The owner also served us steamed milk and some kind of sweet steamed bread. It was all very tasty! Negatives: I truly do not have any. And I usually always have something I critique about hotels. But this place was truly a 5-star stay for us. It was gorgeous and the owner was so sweet."
