Centrally located in downtown Golmud, the hotel sits at a vital transportation hub of the Qaidam Basin. Golmud serves as an essential transit stop on the Qinghai-Gansu Northwest Loop, Qinghai-Xizang Highway and Sichuan-Xizang self-drive routes. To the east lie Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake; Dunhuang and Water Yardang are to the west; Hoh Xil, Kunlun Pass and Lhasa are accessible southbound. It is the ideal rest stop for self-driving and chartered travelers heading south to acclimatize to high altitude.
Thanks to the mild elevation of the urban area, visitors can gradually ease altitude sickness while enjoying panoramic views of the Gobi city and distant Kunlun Snow Mountains. The hotel boasts convenient access to popular scenic spots such as Charhan Salt Lake, Kunlun Grand Canyon and Poplar Forest. Whether you need a brief stopover on an overland loop or plan an extended in-depth vacation, the location offers unparalleled advantages.
The hotel features 207 panoramic guest rooms, all equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows framing stunning vistas of the towering Kunlun Snow Mountains and the vast Gobi landscape of Golmud. A full range of room types meets all travel demands: Business King Room, Business Twin Room, Family Room, Family Suite, E-sports Room and Cloud Executive Suite, suitable for solo business trips, couple getaways, family vacations, young travelers and high-end business receptions.
Every guest room comes with thoughtful highland amenities: whole-room oxygen supply systems to relieve altitude discomfort after long journeys; premium DeRUCCI mattresses to ease fatigue from hours of driving; private mini-refrigerators for storing drinks and fruits. Furnishings and hardware fully comply with 5-Diamond upscale standards, creating a tranquil space for rest and wellness.
As Golmud’s urban resort & wellness complex, the hotel offers comprehensive facilities covering catering, conferences, leisure, wellness, family services and self-service amenities, catering to short stays, long residencies, team building and conferences. On-site services include dining & banqueting, business meeting facilities, wellness amenities, family-oriented facilities, a 24-hour self-service laundromat and dedicated butler service.
"My two-night stay here was just okay. The facilities were decent, but the cleanliness was subpar. On the very first night, I noticed the sink was draining extremely slowly. Inside the basin, there was a toothpaste cap and a piece of cardboard left by the previous guest, which probably caused the blockage because housekeeping hadn't cleaned it properly.
When I showered on the first night, even with the faucet turned to the hottest setting, the water temperature was still very low. I ended up having to take a cold shower.
I requested room cleaning on the second day, but housekeeping only tidied up the area outside the bathroom. The trash I'd put in the bathroom after my shower was completely untouched. Later, the hotel sent a maintenance technician to adjust the water heater. It turned out the temperature setting was too low. After it was adjusted, the hot water finally returned to normal. What was quite surprising was that the maintenance technician, not housekeeping, actually took the initiative to remove the trash from the bathroom while he was there."
