Among these hotels and B&Bs, I have visited almost all of them, and each one has a completely different style and theme. The following content is a graphic introduction of some B&Bs and hotels, and there may be one that you "love at first sight".
Hangu Villa
Hangu Villa Boutique Hotel is a newly opened hotel in 2018. It is not located in the bustling market of Gubei Water Town, but hidden in Langu. It can be said to be the loneliest hotel in the Panoramic Area.
The blue and white color of the hotel lobby is integrated with the log color, which is meticulous and rustic. There are 9 hotel buildings and 72 guest rooms in Hangu Villa. The guest rooms are designed in a unified style, and each room is a 70-square-meter king-size suite. No matter which suite or room you stay in, you can fully enjoy the tranquility and the warmest sunshine in Langu.
There is an open-air swimming pool outside the hotel, and all the restaurants are in the lobby; if you want to go to the market in Gubei Water Town, you can call a taxi at the front desk or walk for about 7 or 8 minutes to reach the church on the top of the mountain.
Yushe Hot Spring Boutique Hotel
Yushe is a Japanese-style tatami-style hotel in Gubei Water Town. The overall design is mainly minimalist, full of Zen, simple yet warm.
There are 32 guest rooms in Yusha, including single-story and duplex rooms, with Japanese and Western styles. Each room has a private hot spring, which is private and suitable for families. A 100-square-meter family room is recommended. The layout of the room is reasonable; it not only has an open dining table, a storage room, and a private soup room, but also has two large and small living rooms and a drop-off table.
For parent-child families, tatami rooms are most suitable for children to stay in. The bedrooms are covered with cushions, and children can freely play indoors without worrying about bumps when climbing up and down. Adults can sit comfortably on wicker chairs and watch the street view outside the window, or sit down and talk in the small living room.
Banshanju
Banshanju is a relatively new hotel in Gubei Water Town. It takes about 3 minutes to walk down the broken road from the church on the top of the mountain. There are 14 guest rooms in Banshan Residence. The room types include family room, double bed room, and boutique double bed room. There are no standard rooms.
The design of Banshanju is full of Italian Tuscan style, but also incorporates Chinese style elements; the use of natural wood and stucco shows rich material textures.
The guest room fully demonstrates this design: it combines nature and decoration closely and pays attention to the location and decoration of the terrace, which is full of pastoral style. At present, Banshanju Hotel has 14 guest rooms, including 8 double-bed rooms and 6 family rooms; "Lying in the room and watching the Great Wall" is the most realistic portrayal of Banshanju's room type.
Great Wall Yunju
Great Wall Yunju is adjacent to Banshanju. Both hotels are on the mountainside leading to the church on the top of the mountain, and they share the breakfast restaurant of Banshanju.
The Great Wall Yunju is very low-key both from the exterior building and the interior lobby, but here is the most expensive suite in Gubei Water Town: a 400-square-meter, three-story duplex family room for six people!
The hotel has a total of 10 rooms, mainly in European style; if you like to live in a duplex, you can choose here. The average room size is large, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "proud". The facilities here are also quite comprehensive: banquet hall, wine bar, meeting room, underground lounge, business + family outings are perfect.
Wangjing Tower
Wangjing Tower is similar in style to the Great Wall Yunju. Wangjing Tower is a typical imitation European-style building. It is located in the north of Gubei Water Town Scenic Area, very close to Simatai Great Wall.
The hotel lobby is large and mainly red and brown, calm and gorgeous. The hotel has a total of 33 rooms. The rooms on the first floor are dominated by European-style classic white, and the second and third floors are dominated by reddish brown. The hotel has complete services and supporting facilities. In addition to the multi-functional gymnasium, there is also an outdoor infinity swimming pool. Residents are open!
Wuzhen Club
Wuzhenhui Boutique Hotel is located in the middle of Gubei Water Town Scenic Area. The hotel is mainly in the Jiangnan courtyard style, with a total of 39 rooms.
Among them, there are 11 duplex suites with independent small courtyards; 12 deluxe double rooms, 12 superior double rooms; 2 deluxe standard rooms and 2 superior standard rooms. Configure tea bar, book bar, cigar bar, etc.
Wenchangge Chinese Restaurant is located in Wuzhenhui Hotel, and it specializes in Huaiyang dishes. If you like light dishes, you can come to eat. I recommend Mr. Hu's tofu and steamed buns in the Republic of China.
Edgar's Boutique Hotel
The William Edgar Boutique Hotel is named in memory of the world-renowned Great Wall conservationist William Edgar Gale, with a total of 50 rooms.
There is a conference hall, outdoor swimming pool and bar in the hotel. The German-style bar on the first floor specializes in craft beer and gourmet food. It is very close to Tangshi Street, so it is very convenient to go out and shop.
Gubei Light
Gubei Light should be the most well-known hotel in Gubei Water Town. The hotel has more than 300 guest rooms. The design is based on the Great Wall.
Gubei Light’s family room is recommended. There are single-story (one double bed, one single bed) and duplex family rooms, and the hotel’s overall facilities are very complete, including entertainment facilities such as infinity pool, hot spring spa, bar, and children’s center. Everything is available.
Dock Inn
The Quay Inn is a favorite of mine and my friends. The small and fresh design style in the inn is a touch of softness under the heavy appearance. The reason why it is called the Pier Inn may be because it is built along the Tanghe River. The gate of the inn is like an ordinary house.
The setting sun shines on the seats through the windows, creating a warm atmosphere throughout the room. Gubei Water Town calls the Wharf Inn the "Venice of the Water Town", but in fact it is more like a secluded countryside in the Water Town, elegant and chic.
My favorite is the big bed room, which is simple and fresh, especially the green independent space, as if in another world. The design highlight of the Marina Inn is the terrace. On the balcony of the room, you can drink coffee while admiring the beautiful scenery of the town, and you can also listen to the singing of folk songs at Riyue Island Square not far away.
Another room in the Quay Inn is a loft-style family room. European-style crystal chandeliers are matched with Chinese-style pastoral furniture, and the light pink wall color makes the room very warm.
Goose Inn
Yanxing Inn is just across the street from Guguan Hot Pot City, with 7 guest rooms; the antique wooden threshold is integrated into the stone road, streets and alleys of Gubei Water Town. The most distinctive attic-style "wooden house" is recommended. The wooden roof structure and exaggerated beams make the room full of structure; you need to bow your head to walk under the beams.
I like the windows next to the bed the most. The bustling water town is in contrast to the elegant room. I want to lean against the window quietly and watch the crowd passing by, and feel a time without contention.
Guzhai Inn
The Guzhai Inn is a bit "high above", and you need to walk a few stone steps to get there; it is built against the mountain and has 6 rooms. It is a very popular homestay on weekends. Entering the inn, it is as if you have entered a European-style home, with sofas, bay windows and various decorations in front of you, except for the check-in workbench.
It's a pity that when we went, we couldn't find any staff, so we could only take pictures of the "lobby" of the inn. Although it is a place for guests to rest and wait, it is not too big, but it is very warm; and the Guzhai inn itself is located on a high place , I believe the perspective of the guest room will be better.
Junyue Inn
Junyue Hotel is located in the area where Wolong Fort and Tanghe Ancient Village meet, and is also opposite the Guzhai Inn. You can take a sightseeing bus and a cruise ship when you go out. There are 12 rooms in the inn, including double bed rooms, landscape rooms, family rooms, etc. Various room types.
We saw a family room, and I believe families with children will love it. The big bed room is a wooden canopy bed, and the parent-child room is placed in the "hole", with a sailboat model placed on the bedside, and the parent-child room is an independent space with an independent sofa and rest area. Let adults and children have their own space in the same room.
Allure Inn
The Qingcheng Inn is located at the head of the Changdao Bridge, and the name has its own beauty; when you enter the Qingcheng Inn, the atmosphere in the lobby is delightful, the flowers and sofas blend together, as if you have entered a private greenhouse.
Walking into the loft-style room, the walls of the room are boldly pink, while the big bed room is matched with big blue.
There are 8 guest rooms in Qingcheng Inn. The interior decoration adopts bohemian style, which is romantic and gorgeous. It is said that the restaurant of the inn has "private kitchen dishes" prepared by the landlord, and the guests have a high evaluation of the dishes. You must try them next time!
Duan Family Courtyard
The Duan Family Courtyard Inn is connected to the hot spring pool of the Duan Family Courtyard. It mainly offers various types of hot springs such as open-air baths, open-air baths, and indoor baths.
There are 8 family rooms, 4 standard rooms and 13 double rooms in the Duan Family Courtyard. The picture shows family room A, including a big bed and a kang, with a private hot spring in the room.
Liyuan Inn
Liyuan Inn is a themed inn decorated with the background of Peking Opera stories, with a total of 15 rooms. Walking into the inn is like entering the alleys of old Beijing, and there are different Peking Opera masks hanging on the walls. Liyuan Inn is a typical "small and warm" hotel, with wooden structure design, wooden stairs, and every step under your feet has a sense of crossing.
There is no service desk when you enter the inn, and you can see the check-in place after entering the restaurant along the corridor on the left.
Even if you don’t stay here, you can still enjoy the Shanxi cuisine served in the restaurant of Liyuan Inn, because the owner of the inn is from Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the cooking skills of the couple are worth tasting.
Playful eaters
The theme hotels and boutique hotels in Gubei Water Town have their own styles.
The hotel style covers European style, Japanese style, Chinese style, etc. Different designs bring different feelings to people, and the facilities are complete. B&Bs are basically located in the busiest places in the streets, and each one is carefully designed to give you a completely different feeling after you walk in.
If you want to face the street and the water, live in a duplex loft, or eat special meals, you can satisfy them all in Gubei Water Town.
