5-Star Hotels in Leshan

Our 4-day, 3-night stay at Zoland Emeishan. Waking up to lush green mountains and birdsong one moment, and misty, ethereal rain the next. After a quiet moment of zoning out, brushing my teeth by the window while gazing out at the endless shades of dark green made my eyes feel somehow clearer. Later, my travel companions and I strolled over to the restaurant for breakfast. From *qiaojiao* beef rice noodles and wontons to millet porridge, various traditional rice cakes, and eggs... the spread was different every day and completely unlimited. After filling up, we curled up with cups of coffee or black tea, four women chatting away about everything under the sun, taking photos, getting creative, laughing out loud, and indulgently squandering this precious leisure time. In the afternoon, we continued roaming around the hotel grounds to take photos and create content. We enjoyed afternoon tea, followed by more playful banter and booming laughter. We carved out time to join the hotel's traditional incense-making experience, where, under the guidance of our private butler, we all successfully lit our hand-crafted golden lotus incense seals. Next came a tour of the wine cellar and cigar lounge. Two-thirds of the wine collection comes from major wineries across China, creating a dazzling array. The sheer variety and quantity were truly eye-opening. As night fell, dinner became the daily highlight of the trip. The Youchuan Restaurant served completely different menus across our three nights: a French-style course meal, a fresh seafood and broth hotpot, and innovative Sichuan fusion cuisine. According to the introduction, the culinary director is a renowned chef. My verdict: it has the refined style expected of Michelin standards, combined with the genuine flavor great food should have—appealing to the eyes, nose, and palate alike. Even more commendable was the restaurant's service team, who were equally well-trained, professional, warm, and attentive. From introducing the dishes and wine pairings, to serving and wine pouring, down to clearing the plates, the entire experience felt intensely Michelin-esque. Oh, and the complimentary glass of wine per person during dinner featured freshly opened bottles every single night, courtesy of their rich cellar collection, and changed daily. After dinner, our handsome butler led us on a room tour of different guest room categories to help us digest. The design styles of the various rooms maintained a cohesive aesthetic while each holding a distinct theme—all of them extremely eye-catching. After treating our eyes, we joined a one-hour singing bowl healing session. Afterward, our handsome and lovely butlers escorted us back to our rooms. ... All of the aforementioned daily perks—half-board (breakfast and dinner), wine tasting, incense-making experience, singing bowl session, as well as the wine cellar, cigar lounge, and room tours—required no extra charge. Selected room types even come with complimentary daily spa treatments and afternoon tea. Other free services included daily laundry and ironing, high-speed rail station transfers, and shuttle rides to nearby attractions. Certain room types even include free airport transfers to and from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. The room facilities at Zoland are, so far, the only ones I've ever encountered that rival the convenience and usability of my own home, perfectly balancing taste and comfort. By the way, everything from the tableware in the restaurant to the tea sets in the rooms was not only gorgeous to look at but also felt wonderful in the hand—not clunky at all. I loved them so much. The hotel's entire curation of activities and services, combined with the exceptional culinary output of the restaurant, ensured that holing up deep in the mountains of Emeishan for several days was never boring, nor was there any shortage of good food. Coupled with the comfortable room amenities and public areas seamlessly integrated into the mountain forest, I truly believe one could comfortably stay on the property for days without ever stepping foot outside. Of course, the biggest bonus was the outstanding team. Our dedicated butler, Xiao Luo, began meticulously taking care of us even before our trip, helping us select our dinner menus. Thank you so much for looking after us every step of the way. Special thanks to General Manager Karma Renzhi for gifting us a stroke of luck—a complimentary upgrade to a room type that doubled our wonderful experience. And to all the handsome and lovely butlers and service staff: your warm, attentive, and professional presentation delivered the perfect vacation for us. Sincere wishes for Zoland to thrive and keep up the fantastic work. I definitely want to come back for a second visit.

The architecture blends seamlessly with the surrounding mountains and wilderness. The hotel offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including courtyards, guest rooms, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and a cafe. Facilities: The facilities are well-equipped and excellently maintained. Cleanliness: The indoor areas are spotless. Despite being in a mountainous area, there wasn't a single mosquito. Environment: The environment is beautiful, with stunning views at every turn. Service: The service, from the front desk to the restaurant, was incredibly thoughtful. They helped with luggage and were especially attentive to our children.

Emei Utopia Hentique Resort is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway surrounded by nature. The resort is beautifully set amidst lush greenery, creating a tranquil atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The room we stayed in came with a private hot spring, which was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The room amenities were excellent, and the hotel also offers great facilities that make the overall experience very comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast selection was another highlight, with an excellent variety of choices to suit different tastes. We also appreciated the complimentary airport transfer service, which was a very thoughtful and convenient touch. The only downside is that the resort is located some distance away from Emei city, so getting around can be slightly less convenient if you plan to explore the city frequently. However, if your priority is relaxation, nature and a peaceful resort experience, the location is well worth the trade-off. Lastly we would like to extend our appreciation and compliments to 小包， who was excellent in her service and recommendation during our stay to make it a memorable trip for us.

The room met our expectations—quite spacious with a nice lake view. A pleasant surprise was that the restaurant doesn't charge for tea or service, and the prices are reasonable. What I really disliked, though, was that given the weather, a five-star hotel like Le Méridien in Sichuan wouldn't turn on the air conditioning. The duvet was so thick we were roasting, though it got better after changing to a different blanket on the second day. Breakfast was average, falling below the usual Le Méridien standard. The swimming pool water was cold, it was very deep, and I got bitten by mosquitoes in the whirlpool. Xiao Fu was great; she contacted me in advance and arranged for the blanket to be changed.

This time I stayed at the Hongzhushan Zen Mountain Retreat in Emei Mountain, and the experience was incredibly comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located, making travel a breeze. Surrounded by dense forest, the air is fresh, making you feel like you're in a forest oxygen bar. The environment is tranquil and elegant. The staff were warm, thoughtful, and responsive. A customer service manager even visited and added me on WeChat, so I could contact them anytime with questions. The rooms were neat and clean, with good facilities, including a private hot spring bath, offering excellent privacy. The breakfast had a rich variety and tasted great. Relaxing in the room with a hot spring bath, accompanied by the forest breeze, was a wonderful overall experience. It's definitely worth another visit!

I really loved the room and the overall environment. Housekeeper Xiao Mei was excellent; she helped me find my charger which I had left in the room. The shuttle service was very prompt; every time, the shuttle was already waiting for me before I even got there. They even gave us two boxes of milk, which I'm still enjoying. This hotel clearly has its pros and cons. Now for the cons: When we drove to the check-in lobby, there was absolutely no one at the entrance – no bellhops, no greeters. It was drizzling that day, and the shuttle driver helped us unload our luggage, but we had to carry it ourselves up to the second floor. I don't understand why these villas, many of which have second floors, don't have elevators or bellhops. With a small infant and a lot of stuff, compared to our previous hotel, the luggage service here was truly terrible. Then, we went to check out the breakfast restaurant on the basement level. I asked the restaurant staff how we were supposed to get a stroller down there, and if there wasn't an elevator. They replied that there wasn't one and that adults would have to carry the babies down. They also mentioned they had a staff elevator but we wouldn't be able to find it, so we'd have to carry everything ourselves. What?! A family-friendly hotel restaurant with no elevator? Later, I realized their answer was too rigid; they could have explained that we could take the stroller down a ramp accessible from where the shuttle drops off passengers. Some of the shuttle drivers were very nice, while others were quite strange. One driver had a sullen expression, looking clearly unhappy to be at work. At first, I didn't know you could just hop on any shuttle. This particular shuttle had other people on it and was coming from the opposite direction, so I asked the driver if I could get on. He irritably snapped at me, ”If you don't get on, how are you going to get there?!” I also saw an old man alone at the circular parking area below the main lobby, holding out his room card with both hands, looking lost and helpless as he asked the shuttle driver (who I think was a supervisor) about his room, his car, and his luggage. This driver patiently helped the old man sort out all his issues. Finally, the noodles at breakfast were delicious, and the fact that you could have takeout delivered to your room was fantastic.

I stayed in Building 8. If you want to look around the Mt. Emeishan area, you might want to consider this forest resort next to Baoguo Temple! There are nine buildings in total covering a large area, and there's even a Hongzhu Lake where you can stroll and enjoy the lake views. Breakfast is served on the first floor of Building 5, and there are shuttle carts right outside Building 8 for rides, which was a nice touch—you should definitely try the tofu pudding! Soaking in the hot springs was also a great experience, and you can catch the loop shuttle right outside Building 8 for round trips! The service was quite good too; there's a guest relations manager to provide assistance, and communication was smooth for any requests. The room met all my needs without any issues. Overall, it's quite good!

A summer trip to Emei Mountain was made even better by this hot spring resort's ”Summer Adventure” experience – a perfect choice for families with kids! The moment you step into the hotel, you're captivated by its forest-like environment – ​​the windows offer panoramic views of rolling green hills, and every breath is filled with the fresh scent of nature. Just a 10-minute walk from the scenic area entrance, you can easily return to the hotel for a relaxing soak in the cool spring pools after exploring the area with your kids, offering privacy and convenience. The biggest surprise was coinciding with the ”Summer Adventure” event! Saturday's hot spring fun was a paradise for the kids: water battles with splashing water, kayaking races for the whole family, and a ”South-to-North Water Diversion” game testing teamwork – the children were soaking wet from head to toe, yet still clamoring for ”one more round!” The butler service was impeccable: they proactively contacted us during booking, sending scenic area guides via WeChat; upon check-in, they provided children's slippers and mosquito repellent patches; and upon check-out, simply leave your room key in the room – completely freeing up your hands. The room has its own private hot spring bath. My skin felt so smooth after soaking in it. The butler told me that the hot spring water is radon from 3,000 meters underground, rich in 24 kinds of minerals. Even my fatigue was washed away.

Traveling to Mount Emei, I chose this five-star hotel, the closest to Baoguo Temple! The high-speed rail station shuttle service is excellent! The hotel environment is quite good, very close to Huangwan Station, within walking distance. The front desk upgraded us to a family room, and the front desk and shuttle staff were all very enthusiastic. The environment and service were impeccable, but the facilities and hygiene were truly disappointing. I won't go into detail about the hygiene – cobwebs, stains on towels... The main issue was the facilities. The decor and materials looked quite ordinary, with gaps around the doors. At night, there was a random on-and-off switch sound coming from somewhere, not a fixed interval. The soundproofing was also terrible; you could hear the neighbors flushing the toilet, brushing their teeth, and showering at night. Luckily, it was a family next door; it would have been so awkward if it were a couple! This is a hotel I would not choose to stay at again if I return to Mount Emei!

We take our kids to Yuquanwan at least three times a year; it's perfect for family trips, and both adults and children love it 😍. We've been coming back to this hotel every year for 3-4 years now, and it's definitely worth recommending. As a family-friendly hotel, I suggest they could introduce some holiday-themed activities, which would make it even better.
