HUAQING PALACE RESORT & SPA

Staying within the 华清池 palace property is such a privilege. Not only can you enjoy daylong access to the hot spring baths, but you also get unlimited entry to the park. I’ll definitely return to this hotel as my personal retreat, to immerse myself in the past and yet with the top-notch, truly exceptional services. Special thanks to Ms. 鈡’s hospitality making us feel like we’re at home. The staff at the restaurant is also very accommodating, especially for our food allergies. And the modern amenities are a plus. This hotel truly embodies the essence of a 5-star establishment.

As mentioned in my other post, the Huaqing inroom hot spring room is connected to the lobby and is away from the building housing the outdoor hot spring rooms. It is a cozy location, near the book bar and is beautifully decorated. If you intend to book two separate types, be prepared to travel in between. The facilities around is fantastic, you get the access to the palace grounds, free soup everyday and breakfast in the morning, access to the public hot springs and free minibar. Excellent choice for a relaxing sta

The location of the hotel at the site of the historic Huaqing Palace is incredible. The stay includes a Tang photography style photoshoot with a superb makeup artist and photographer from Jinghong Travel Photography. They’re so professional and the style of makeup is done akin to actual makeup during the Tang Dynasty so it’s very natural. I’ve done a couple traditional Chinese photoshoots and this has been by far my favorite, due to its location at the palace grounds and the amazing staff. The stay itself was wonderful - the staff leave red date soup or white woodear soup in your rooms in the evenings and turn on the private hot springs for you each night. They’re extremely friendly and accommodating - going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay.

The location of this hotel is very exclusive. Yet it is right next to the tourist attraction. The hot spring baths are wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. (Please do note that there is time limit for the private hot spring availability in the guest room. It only runs from evening till midnight.)
