Anji Hotels with Bars

This resort hotel has been on my wishlist for a long, long time, and I finally got to check it out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The hotel offers a strong sense of seclusion and escape (to put it bluntly: it's not the most convenient to get to, self-driving is recommended, but the hotel staff are excellent at hailing taxis, so even if you don't drive, you don't need to worry too much about not being able to find one). The hotel's landscaping, views, and overall design are unique; a stroll around the property truly feels like 'a new view with every step,' perfectly creating that resort atmosphere. The hotel's public areas and guest rooms are predominantly Japanese-style, with simple wooden furniture, warm tones, and are well-maintained. Even the courtyard rooms offer some mountain views, and sitting in the courtyard on a non-rainy day feels incredibly relaxing. The mini-bar and snacks are complimentary throughout your stay, along with daily fruit and sweet soup. As for dining, breakfast is a bit simple, but the main courses are delicious. There's a wide variety, including local home-style dishes, specialties, hot pot, and BBQ – enough choices that you won't eat the same thing twice even if you stay for two days. The hotel gym is well-equipped, and the indoor pool is a standard 25 meters with comfortable water temperature. If you find the water a bit cool, the staff will promptly bring you ginger tea, which is a very thoughtful touch. Finally, the hotel's service level is just right – attentive, responsive, and down-to-earth.

My parents have mobility issues and are elderly, so we booked a villa. It had underfloor heating and air conditioning, but their sleeping room was upstairs, which was a bit inconvenient for them as they had to climb stairs. There was a hot spring pool in the courtyard, and the butler even lit a bonfire and set out candles. The butler service was excellent; they responded immediately when called upon in the group chat. They also provided shuttle service to a nearby Tujia restaurant, which was very thoughtful. The scenery around the hotel was beautiful, but the nearby amusement park was a bit noisy. They offered complimentary afternoon tea every day 👍. The breakfast selection was a bit limited, and the bathroom facilities weren't as spacious or convenient as the hotel's. Overall, we were satisfied; the service and scenery were good. The restaurant's dinner was delicious, specializing in fine dining, but the portions were a bit small. For a large family, the fried rice we ordered was only enough for five people, so we ordered another serving. We ate two dinners, ordering different dishes, and none of them were bad; everything tasted great, and we were very satisfied. It would be best if future meals offered small, medium, and large portion sizes so that different groups could choose the appropriate portion. Overall, we were very satisfied and recommend it. The housekeeper said they're opening a new store this year, which won't be as noisy as this place. I'm looking forward to it.

The hotel's environment, blending redwood forests and tea plantations, creates a serene and natural resort atmosphere. The infinity pool offers expansive views and perfectly complements the surrounding landscape, combining natural beauty with a luxurious experience. The service is meticulous and thoughtful, making for an excellent overall experience – an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle.

Anji Treasure Island Nautical Resort — A Hidden Maritime Dream Among Mountains, Lakes and Tropical Gardens Stayed: 19–20 June This is not just a hotel — it is a revelation. A true hidden gem in Anji, the Anji Treasure Island Nautical Resort feels like stepping aboard a luxury liner that has quietly anchored itself in a world of bamboo forests and still, reflective waters. The entire resort is designed in the unmistakable shape and spirit of a ship, complete with maritime detailing, porthole-style windows, brass accents, and cabin-inspired interiors that make every room feel like a private suite at sea. From the moment you arrive, you are surrounded by tropical-style gardens and serene lagoons where ducks glide across the water and fish move like living brushstrokes beneath the surface. It is calm, immersive, and almost dreamlike. The service is simply outstanding — attentive, warm, and effortless. Nothing feels forced; everything feels considered. Breakfast is sumptuous and generous, with a spread that feels worthy of a grand voyage rather than a countryside resort. Every detail is elevated. The rooms are extraordinary — sleeping here genuinely feels like being inside a luxury cabin on an ocean liner, yet with the comfort, silence, and space of a high-end retreat. What makes this place unforgettable is its setting: tranquil and secluded, yet perfectly positioned to explore everything Anji has to offer. You feel away from the world, but never far from it. To stay here is to experience something rare — a place that doesn’t try to impress, yet quietly outshines everything around it. Many nearby hotels feel conventional by comparison; this one feels imagined, designed, and delivered with vision. 11/10 – beyond expectations, beyond category. A destination I would not just recommend, but insist on. Without question, one of my top travel discoveries for 2026. As we sat outside on the man-made beach overlooking the beautiful pond, framed by rolling mountains, a golf buggy passed by. The driver, Ben, stopped and kindly asked if we would like to take a ride around the hotel grounds. What followed was unforgettable. We set off together and immediately began to ascend into the mountain areas, where the landscape opened up into something extraordinary. We were surrounded by peach trees, olive trees, and endless tea plantations stretching across the hillsides. The scenery felt untouched and alive. Stunning waterfalls cascaded down rock faces, and wildlife was everywhere — fish moving through clear waters, turtles basking quietly, geese and ducks gliding freely across ponds and streams. It felt like a living ecosystem woven seamlessly into the resort itself. At the peak, we reached the most incredible lookout observatory and restaurant, offering panoramic views over Anji and far beyond. The vistas were vast and layered, mountains fading into the distance under a calm, open sky. To top it all off, there is even a zip line (rip cord) for those brave enough to ascend and descend in style — an exhilarating contrast to the serenity below. Throughout it all, Ben’s kindness, warmth, and care were extraordinary, and perfectly matched the beauty of the experience. His generosity of spirit elevated the entire journey. A stay that moves from ship-like luxury, to lakeside tranquillity, to mountain adventure — all within a single, seamless experience. Simply unforgettable.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. There was a small mistake during our stay, but the way the hotel handled it truly impressed us. They sincerely apologized and kindly offered us complimentary drinks and fresh fruits, which was a very thoughtful gesture. We would especially like to thank 徐云 and 王永芳 for their kindness and constant support throughout our stay. Their professionalism and warm attitude made our experience even more enjoyable. We are also deeply grateful to the manager, 罗会军, whose exceptional care truly stood out. What touched us the most was their genuine hospitality. When we were leaving, we couldn’t find a taxi, and the manager personally drove us down the mountain. This level of service is rare and unforgettable. Throughout our stay, the staff were always helpful, kind, and attentive to every detail. It felt like we were not just guests, but truly valued visitors. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for outstanding service, warm hospitality, and a memorable experience. We will definitely come back again!

Let's start with the downsides: I haven't seen anyone mention this in reviews, but it's not quiet and can be noisy. There's a pump house right outside the entrance, which is a source of noise at night. The hotel is located on a small road, and even though there aren't many cars, they tend to drive quite fast, so you need to be careful. Next to the main entrance, there's another guesthouse under construction, which will likely add to the noise. Also, Xiaosenlin isn't a standalone property; there's another guesthouse called 'Shanxia Xiaozhu' still under construction within the same compound. I think the guesthouse should have mentioned this; I specifically came during the off-season hoping for a peaceful place to stay with my dog. Most reviews mention it's convenient for rafting in the summer. The room itself has some issues: the floor is uneven, the furnishings are a bit old and not well-maintained, and it's a bit damp. The showerhead provides a fine spray, but the water pressure is weak. There are quite a few mosquitoes, especially if you open the door – they'll all fly in. You need to keep the lights off inside to avoid them. The refrigerator door opens in an awkward direction and is placed in the corner of the sink area, causing the door to hit the mirror cabinet next to it. The staff who checked us in didn't even plug it in; the owner had to come and plug it in herself. The power outlets are also very hard to find and plug into. Now for the positives: The overall layout has a very 'small forest' feel, with well-arranged spaces. The glass cafe on the second floor is very elegant and nature-themed, probably the one featured on Ctrip's homepage. The terrace on the second floor offers a nice view. There's a large, very gentle and cute Labrador. Surprisingly, there's a refrigerator, which many guesthouses lack. The switch for the fan/AC was a bit hard to find, and when the remote control ran out of batteries, the owner quickly replaced them. She also recommended a fantastic noodle place in the nearby town and a quiet walking trail along the river, which is almost car-free and about 4km long, winding through streams, bamboo forests, and tea plantations. Overall, the value for money is quite good, especially when traveling with a dog. The fact that they didn't charge an extra cleaning fee for the dog was a really nice touch.

We had a wonderful, relaxing Dragon Boat Festival getaway. The weather was perfect – it rained when we weren't out, allowing us to fully enjoy Anji's beautiful scenery and laid-back pace. The Shanfeishan Hotel is tucked away in the Cloud Grassland scenic area, offering stunning mountain views right from your door and excellent service. From the hotel, it's a short, scenic walk to the beautiful Gaoshi Village and the picturesque Xianlong Lake. At Xianlong Lake, we even met a kind man who let us pick as many bayberries as we wanted (they were perfectly sweet and sour!). After enjoying the sights, we indulged in some authentic Anji dried noodles – it was truly a fulfilling experience. Anji is a fantastic place, and I can't wait to visit again.

Our first trip to the summit of Anji Yunshang Grassland led us to a unique romantic hideaway in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region: the 1168 Starry Sky Astronomical Hotel, perched at an altitude of 1168 meters. As the only mountaintop hotel within the Yunshang Grassland scenic area, it stands nestled amidst clouds and mist, with the Milky Way as its canopy. This isn't just a fleeting visit; it's an immersive experience, allowing you to dwell in the gentle embrace of the starry sky and sea of clouds. Our butler, Xiao Zhang, proactively contacted us via WeChat, providing a complete check-in process in advance. Since the hotel is located on the mountaintop, a cable car ride is essential. Xiao Zhang seamlessly coordinated all transportation: after checking in at the foot of the mountain, we were guided to a VIP cable car channel. A dedicated shuttle awaited us at the cable car's upper station exit, and we could call for a shuttle anytime for exploring within the scenic area. He also helped us redeem fast-pass privileges for attractions, allowing us to skip queues for popular cliffside activities, and provided a one-on-one explanation of the two-day unlimited park access. The service was truly attentive, enthusiastic, and thorough – definitely deserving of a five-star rating. My sincere thanks again to Butler Xiao Zhang for his warm service, and to all the staff members. A heartfelt thank you! You've all worked incredibly hard!

The hotel lady is very nice, polite and welcoming. As they saw that I was pregnant, they offered to help carry our bags to our room. The view from the room is lovely. Bathtub on the balcony is relaxing and can enjoy the nice view at the same time. I read some reviews about bugs. This homestay is in the middle of nature, so naturally you can expect bugs to be around. We were lucky with only one flying bug in our bedroom. Some minor things, like the door handle of the bathroom door wasn’t securely fastened and the bathtub leaked a bit. But it was nothing major. The pool could maybe use a bit of a shady area, as it gets quite hot on sunny days and there is nowhere to relax in the pool in the shade. This is just a tip. We enjoyed the pool either way. There is a wonderful view from the pool and the water was nice and cool.

The room design was great, and both the elderly and children loved it. They even thoughtfully provided eye masks. The room had a smart smart control system and underfloor heating. Both the indoor and outdoor views were fantastic, especially the hot spring in the bamboo forest. The service was excellent; they responded immediately to every request, even late at night – thank you so much to the young man! Initially, the guesthouse had stopped providing underfloor heating for the first few days of our stay because it was getting warmer, but on the day we arrived, it got a bit cold, and my child liked to walk on the floor without slippers. The owner kindly turned the heating back on – thank you! We had dinner at the guesthouse: chicken soup, braised bamboo shoots, and braised catfish. The auntie cooked it very well; my elders still rave about it afterward, haha. Breakfast was rather home-style, but the auntie's soft-boiled eggs were delicious, and the young man's hand-drip coffee was also very good. One small suggestion: could the guesthouse consider allowing guests to choose between regular towels and disposable towels in the future? My child only made this suggestion about the towels, haha. Also, it would be even better if there was an absorbent mat in the bathroom. Overall, it's good, pet-friendly, and I recommend it.
