China accommodation - Beautiful courtyards

China Accommodation

During your trip with us you'll stay in China accommodation that reflects the character of your surroundings. You'll experience a wide variety of styles and standards of China accommodation, for example you might spend a night in a nomad tent, with a local family, or in a comfy hotel on a tropical beach.

We use a hand-picked selection of authentic hotels with lots local character, and therefore steer clear of international chains. We personally ensure that each property has the right combination of features such as cleanliness, location, friendly staff and good service. We're confident that you'll enjoy our China accommodation options just as much as our previous customers.

We use a pool of China accommodation in each destination, which means that if one hotel is full, we are able to offer another of equal standard. Once your booking is confirmed, we'll send you a comprehensive list of the hotels you'll be staying in.

Comfort Level 4 - Very comfortable China Accommodation
Spacious bungalow or room, stylishly decorated with extra facilities and attention to comfort. The resort on the tropical island of Hainan and the Peace hotel in Beijing are part of this category. 
Comfort Level 5 - Luxurious China Accommodation
Spacious bungalow or room with luxurious bathroom, swimming pool and extra facilities. These hotels are only offered if they give an extra special travel experience, for instance when they are in a particular location.  

We have chosen not to offer these hotels in most locations since most 5 star hotels have a business travel appeal. However, China Travel Plan does offer this type of China accommodation in a city where such a hotel has an extra special appeal; Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, you can stay in the 5 star Harbour Plaza hotel. The rooms of this hotel offer a view of the world famous harbour and skyline of Hong Kong. The extraordinary facilities in this hotel, such as the swimming pool with jacuzzi on the rooftop, make a stay at this China accommodation an unforgettable experience at the end of your China trip.

We slept best on the gently undulating trains! All the Hotels and accommodations were first class relevant to the venues. Y & Z Beresiner

Best accommodation was the Yangshou Retreat - one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. T Hatfield

The Mountain Retreat in Yangshuo. It was perfect in every way. Tranquil and peaceful location with amazing views across the river. English speaking, courteous and helpful staff. Air conditioning, fridge, good shower, clean and well maintained - a home away from home. Would happily go there again and will recommend to colleagues and friends. S Snowdon

We liked the variety of the hotels and guest houses given to us as they mainly reflected the traditional dwellings like the courtyard house in the Hutong area. The hotel in Shanghai was a nice touch of luxury to end the holiday. J Harwood
Hotels in Chengdu, Lijiang, Dali and Yangshuo were all very much enjoyed by us all. This was because they were all full of character and not standard western hotels. J & S King

All hotels were great in their own way, nice to have traditional, modern, traditional, excellent! P Clarke

One of the best things about the whole holiday was the lovely traditional hotels we stayed in at every stop. J Allibone

All the courtyard hotels were marvellous; well located and unique to China. We specifically enjoyed the Hutong hotel in Beijing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Other people I've spoken to have visited Beijing without even realise the Hutongs were there. A Wharton

The hotels were, without exception, excellent, and the one in Beijing was exceptionally good. L Sa
