Anantara Hotels, Resorts& Spas Hotels in Guiyang

Having stayed at five hotels recently, this one, located 30 minutes from the city and 10 minutes from the airport, truly stands out as a perfect family-friendly option for those with children: 1. Among all the Anantara hotels I've experienced, both domestically and internationally, this one offers a more budget-friendly price point. The hotel shows its age in minor ways – like the worn edges of the wooden hangers – but as long as the service quality remains high, it's perfectly acceptable. 2. I'd highly recommend staying 2-3 days, as the hotel boasts a fantastic array of activities. There are indoor and outdoor pools, batik painting, garden movie nights, bonfire singing and dancing, plant 'mystery boxes,' and even opportunities for photoshoots in traditional ethnic attire. Our children were absolutely thrilled and entertained throughout our stay. 3. The hotel thoughtfully provided children's amenities. The twin beds in our room were surprisingly spacious, comfortably accommodating one adult and one child on each. A clever batik screen design greets you right inside the door. Since we had two adjoining rooms and the kids were constantly moving between them, this screen was brilliant, allowing us to keep the doors wide open without sacrificing privacy. 4. The hotel's design exudes a subtle luxury. Every corner is picturesque, making it impossible to take a bad photo, and the stunning scenery everywhere is truly a feast for the eyes. 5. While hotel dining can be pricey, there are local restaurants just a short taxi ride away (around 6-7 yuan). Do note that local supermarkets and small shops tend to close by 8 PM. Thankfully, ordering a Didi (ride-hailing service) from the hotel is incredibly convenient, with cars arriving almost instantly. 6. The 'view rooms' were a bit misleading. From our two poolside view rooms, all we could see beyond the balcony were lush trees and the courtyard below. However, given the abundance of activities, we didn't spend much time in the room anyway, so it wasn't a major issue.
