Imperial Mountain Resort Chengde

Authentic and Unforgettable Stay! Imperial Mountain Resort in Chengde, located inside the famous 避暑山庄, is a hidden gem. The hotel is beautifully traditional, with a peaceful garden where even deer roam freely—such a magical touch! What made our experience truly special was our amazing resort in house tour guide, 卜金艳. She was not only beautiful and kind, but incredibly knowledgeable about Chengde’s history. She tailored our itinerary to suit our pace, recommended the freshest local fruits, and took us to enjoy authentic Manchurian cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful and immersive stay in Chengde!

Breathing taking! Breakfast is great. And there are deers in the resort. Imagine waking up with deers outside your room. Deers are friendly too.

Not sure what it would really be like, but it was better than imagined in every possible way! Amazing location within the mountain resort walls, lovely old buildings and garden, spacious room full of amenities and details, great bed, super friendly staff with good English and best of all the top restaurant with its imperial dishes and much more, plus a great breakfast buffet! Very close to the resort and an easy Didi trip to the fantastic temples. Definitely the most beautiful hotel of our trip, thanks!

Traditional style pavillions in peaceful surroundings despite ongoing discreet renovations in hotel grounds. Location is its best feature.Only 10 mns walk above city restaurants and the surprising Imperial Scenic Mt. Park ,relaxing and worth the visit.However the hotel 'superior' room was standard , the shower lukewarm and there seemed to have few clients.The restaurant was very expensive. Overall, the personnel was pleasant and courteous.

This is a very charming hotel, with beautiful architecture. The location is also great, next to the Imperial Gardens, and itself embedded in a nice garden complex, featuring also some animals. The room was clean, but I found our room a bit on the small side, with only one night stand for a double bed, while we could also not really navigate from one side of the bed as a chair and the desk obstructed the way. I saw however other rooms which were bigger. We arrived during a hurricane, so most other clients had canceled, and hotel staff was limited. The reception staff was however very friendly, trying to help us out as much as possible. The weather was very cold, but an extra heater was provided and heated up the room nicely. The restaurant continued delivering dinner and breakfast during the hurricane. BF the first 2 mornings was sufficient, although a bit limited, while we had problems communicating with the staff available at that time, but the 3th morning, when more clients arrived, they set up a buffet, which had a nice variety of dishes. Dinner was very good.

Highly recommend. We live in China and have stayed in a few different cities/hotels now and this was by far the best. The building is historic and beautiful and extremely well maintained. The rooms feel brand new and are very thoughtfully laid out. The room comes with all kinds of small conveniences in case you forgot something or need something. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming, from the front office staff to the housekeeping to the repair men. We arrived late on a stormy night and they went out of their way to help us figure out dinner. When the weather got worse and spoiled our plans, the staff did everything they could to rescue the weekend, even at the hotels expense. We plan to come back again when the weather is nicer and will 100% stay here. I can't imagine why you would stay anywhere else, especially if you're there to sightsee. The hotel opens directly into the park, it's wonderful.
