No. 5 Valley Inn

The No. 5 Valley Hotel should be a destination in its own right for everyone visiting Zhangjiajie! Not only are the views spectacular, the hotel itself is so beautiful. The rooms are both rustic and modern and the staff are kind, welcoming, and helpful. They offer a pick-up service from both the airport and train station, and dropped us off and picked us up at our convenience to and from the park, although it was difficult to leave the hotel and we had spend at least one day lazing about and enjoying the pools, my favourite being the heated infinity pool overlooking the valley - a great soak after a day of walking in the park! Most of the staff spoke English, and Rain advised us on the best routes to take to get the most of our visit. Mei, who grew up right next door, offered us a variety of her hand-picked tea, introducing us to the local medicinal 'berry tea' (莓茶). It was a magical stay and we will be back as soon as we can! (Oh and the bed was possibly the most heavenly we have slept on!)

The No. 5 valley inn was absolutely amazing. Stunning views, great food, great friendly service, and right next to the park. Frankie was super helpful, booked our tickets to the park, took us to the park and picked us up whenever we wanted to go. The rest of the staff were also all wonderful, and there were three very cute hotel pets. We wish we could have stayed longer! If you're considering going to Zhangjiajie, don't look any further---just book here!

The hotel is wonderful, great location and friendly staff. Frankie helped to book trips into Zhangjiajie National Park which meant we did not have to wait in any lines - this made the day hassle free. Food in the evening was delicious! Bar staff was friendly and there is optional karaoke. There is a heated pool available (see photos) perfect for soaking tired feet a lifter a long day of hiking - so don’t forget your swimming things
