Jolie Vue Bontique Hotel（Elephant Trunk Hill and Two Rivers and Four Lakes ）

Coming to Guilin in October, staying in a hotel where you can quietly view Elephant Trunk Hill amidst the fragrant osmanthus blossoms all over the street is sheer bliss 🌼 I chose the Vignette Collection hotel (Jingxiang Hotel), right by the Li River and very close to Elephant Trunk Hill. Instead of squeezing through the crowded scenic spots, I could enjoy the textbook Elephant Trunk Hill all to myself right from the room's floor-to-ceiling windows and the 270° terrace on the 7th floor. The hotel design has a great texture, the room facilities are comfortable, and the breakfast is also quite distinctive. The rooftop terrace on the 7th floor (Alice's Garden) is simply amazing. Feeling the breeze, smelling the city-wide osmanthus fragrance, the Li River and karst peaks are all in full view. The first-floor lobby, dessert bar, and Jingxiang Pavilion are all super photogenic; portraits combined with the landscape look great straight out of the camera. This is how a lazy person's trip to Guilin should be—no rushing, just taking it slow smelling the osmanthus, gazing at the mountains and the river, “privately booking” Elephant Trunk Hill at Jingxiang, and unlocking the most therapeutic autumn day in Guilin.

The hotel has a great location, right opposite Elephant Trunk Hill, making it very convenient for getting around and sightseeing. We also tried the hotel's vacation photography service, and the photographer did an amazing job—the photos turned out stunning!

Extremely satisfied! First off, the location of Jingxiang Hotel is fantastic. You can see the scenic view right from your window, and it's less than a two or three-minute walk to the Sun and Moon Pagodas. The area around here is also very convenient and affordable for dining, drinking, and entertainment. The shower here is incredibly powerful, making bathing very comfortable, and there's also a bathtub. The bed is very cozy too. From the large glass window, you can enjoy views of Elephant Trunk Hill in the morning, at noon, and in the evening every day. I also absolutely love the Alifang restaurant on the 7th floor with its 270-degree large terrace; dining and enjoying the view there is a real treat. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, and there's afternoon tea available as well. On the 6th floor, there's a charming little reading room with a stunning view. The hotel staff here are also very professional and attentive. Upon check-in, you receive a detailed list of various services and important notes. I absolutely love this hotel!

The rooftop café offers panoramic views of Elephant Trunk Hill and the entire river. If you wake up early, you can catch the sunrise. The scenery is stunning. The room was thoughtfully stocked with complimentary fruit, black tea, green tea, and coffee. They even gave us a parting gift of Luo Han Guo (monk fruit) souvenirs when we checked out. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely stay here again if I visit Guilin in the future. Highly recommended!

The hotel is absolutely fantastic! The facilities are luxurious – and I mean *luxurious* – with an incredibly high-quality feel. All the amenities are L'Occitane, and yes, I took them all home with me! 😂 They even provide Watson's sparkling water and, crucially, comfy slippers. You know the value of having slippers in your room! The welcome fruit was a nice touch, too. The location is superb; it's a short walk to Zheng Yang Street, and Elephant Trunk Hill is right across the road. The window view is absolutely breathtaking, so expansive! For a scenic room in Guilin city, I believe the area around Elephant Trunk Hill offers the best views, with the widest stretch of water. The Twin Pagoda area, with its small pond, pales in comparison. Needless to say, the top-floor restaurant boasts an incredible view and a chic, sophisticated vibe. There's a big TV playing shows, creating a wonderful ambiance. We had a meal there – fries, pizza, chicken nuggets – and the food quality was excellent. If I had to point out any downsides, it would be that the breakfast variety isn't extensive, and the restaurant staff could be a bit more proactive. Overall, I highly, highly, highly recommend this place. Staying here is definitely the right choice when you're in Guilin city. The last two photos show the actual window view; I took so many beautiful shots.

Our family trip to Guilin was made perfect by our stay at the Jingxiang Hotel. The wonderful experience began with the pick-up service. The staff were excellent, the views were beautiful, and the restaurant's food was delicious. The Guilin rice noodles at breakfast were also very authentic. I accidentally left my charging cable in the room, and the hotel staff kindly mailed it to Yangshuo for me, which didn't disrupt our itinerary at all. A big thumbs up to the hotel staff! 👍 Highly recommend!

The location is excellent, right across from Elephant Trunk Hill, making it convenient to go anywhere. However, it can get congested during the National Day holiday. On the evening of October 1st, you can watch the drone show from the hotel balcony, though staff will check room cards. The Riverside Road in front of the hotel is beautiful in the morning.

The hotel has an unbeatable location, right next to Elephant Trunk Hill Park. The rooftop restaurant offers fantastic views, and during the holiday we even caught the drone show. They also provided complimentary dessert in the evening. Truly a wonderful experience!

The hotel is right next to Elephant Trunk Hill and offers great distant views. It's clean and tidy, the breakfast is decent, and the service is quite good. When I wanted to hang out my laundry to dry, I found the balcony door was locked—you have to sign a safety agreement before they unlock it for you. (On a side note, Guilin really has so many traffic lights...)
