A Winter Staycation at Changbai Mountain Hotel

Recommended by a friend, the DoubleTree by Hilton Changbai Mountain Hot Spring Hotel truly amazed me! As a hot spring hotel nestled in the forest, not only is the environment fantastic, but the service is also incredibly thoughtful~ From check-in to check-out, I was treated like a princess✨ 🏨【Location & Transportation】 • The hotel is just 2 kilometers from the North Gate of Changbai Mountain Scenic Area, within walking distance • Pleasantly surprised to find the hotel offers VIP access, so no long queues to go up the mountain • Free shuttle service from the high-speed rail station is provided; we saw the hotel’s exclusive bus waiting as soon as we exited the station 🌲【Hotel Environment】 • Surrounded by forest, the air is as fresh as a natural oxygen bar • The rooms have excellent natural lighting; we booked a twin room that was spacious and comfortable • My favorite spot is the scenic balcony—opening the curtains in the morning reveals layers of lush forest 🛎【Service Highlights】 • The front desk staff carefully explained all hotel facilities and scenic area tips • Returning to the room at night, the staff had thoughtfully prepared the turndown service • Any issues were responded to within 5 minutes of calling ♨【Hot Spring Experience】 • The outdoor hot spring pools in the forest have an amazing atmosphere • Water temperature is perfectly maintained between 38-42°C • Recommended to soak in the evening while watching the sunset—such a relaxing experience 🍽【Dining Review】 • Breakfast offers a wide variety, catering well to both Western and Chinese tastes • Highly recommend the freshly made jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), paired with Northeast-style side dishes—absolutely delicious • For dinner, try the local specialty iron pot stew; the staff will recommend the freshest seasonal ingredients 📌【Practical Tips】 1. Remember to book the high-speed rail shuttle service in advance 2. Use the VIP access before 7 AM for the least crowd 3. Bring swimwear for the hot springs, as the hotel shop has limited options 4. Winter visitors must try the snow hot springs! This stay exceeded all expectations, with impeccable location and service quality. Especially their VIP access service, which saved us 3 hours of queuing—truly a secret weapon for the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area! Although the price is slightly higher than ordinary hotels, considering the time saved and convenience enjoyed, it’s absolutely worth it👍
