MmukkaI usually can't afford the Ritz-Carlton, and I'd originally planned to stay at the Conrad. However, I saw that the Conrad's twin beds were 1.35 meters wide, while this hotel's were 1.5 meters, plus they offered a shuttle to the scenic area, so I switched. The Conrad definitely has its advantages; it's right at the Huameishengdi bus station. This place, though, requires another taxi ride up the mountain. The taxi driver mentioned the hotel opened last year, and upon entering, I found it very new with beautiful Tibetan-themed decor. The toilet flushes automatically but doesn't have a bidet function. The complimentary Atelier Cologne toiletries are excellent. The location is indeed a bit out of the way; after taking the bus from the high-speed rail station to Huameishengdi for safety, we still needed a taxi. The hotel offers a shuttle to Jiuzhaigou scenic area in the morning, but on the way back, it's likely due to the heavy traffic at the Jiuzhaigou entrance that there's no pick-up service. A taxi back to the hotel costs around 50. Breakfast isn't exactly lavish, perhaps because it's in a mountainous region with limited variety. However, they do have freshly made 'Saozi' noodles and rice noodles, along with coffee, milk, juice, greens, staples, fruit, and toast, covering all the bases. Dinner needs to be reserved and paid for online via QR code in advance. We didn't eat out, but personally, I feel the prices here are not cheap, even compared to the scenic area, but it wins on portion size and taste. We ordered a yak hotpot, and two adults and one child couldn't finish it. Overall, the service and facilities are excellent, though the location is a bit remote. The convenience of a shuttle service makes up for it.
Finally, after we checked out, the hotel housekeeper messaged me on WeChat to say we'd left a small doll's outfit, and they kindly arranged to courier it to my home. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to friends.
