[2025 Rongcheng Hotels] Travel Guide for Sofitel Xiongan (Updated Jul)

On a weekend with perfect sunshine and a gentle breeze, my family and I drove to Xiongan New Area—a place boasting unique natural scenery and a hidden gem of a hotel: Sofitel Xiongan. Located in the heart of Xiongan New Area, the hotel offers convenient transportation, with Baiyangdian Station and Baigou Station nearby, making travel a breeze. This little family getaway left us with unforgettable memories. 👶 Little Surprises in the Family Room 🌟 The moment we stepped into our family room, my child’s smile said it all. The room’s design was modern yet cozy, especially the dedicated kids’ corner—a paradise for little ones with colorful toys, a comfy mini sofa, and adorable cartoon decorations. Waking up each morning to the view outside the large windows felt like gazing at a natural masterpiece, instantly brightening our moods. 🏊‍♀️ Poolside Fun 💦 The hotel’s pool was a hit with the kids. The crystal-clear water and safe shallow area gave us parents peace of mind as they splashed around. Watching them chase each other in their swimsuits, occasionally interacting with the staff and learning basic swimming skills, made time feel like it stood still. In the evening, the poolside lights created a warm, dreamy atmosphere—the perfect way to end the day. 🎨 Bonding Through Family Activities 🌱 Beyond relaxation, the hotel offered a range of parent-child activities like crafts and painting classes—great opportunities to strengthen family bonds. One memorable session was an eco-friendly craft where we turned recycled materials into cute animal figurines. My child was thrilled and insisted on taking them home for the grandparents. These activities enriched our trip and provided priceless educational moments. 🍽️ A Feast for the Senses 🍽️ No trip is complete without great food! Sofitel Xiongan’s dining options ranged from authentic local dishes to exquisite international cuisine. The breakfast buffet, in particular, was a hit—plentiful, balanced, and catering to all tastes. One morning, my son couldn’t get enough of the freshly baked bread paired with a steaming cup of milk, setting the tone for a wonderful day. Thanks to Sofitel Xiongan, our trip was truly unforgettable. Beyond offering comfort, it gave us a space filled with love and joy. If you’re looking for a family-friendly destination, consider this hidden gem—it might just surprise you!

The service was great, and they even set up a small bed in the bedroom, so the four of us didn't have to squeeze together. ✅ I have to say, the buffet dinner was delicious! There was a wide variety of dishes, including hot pot, hairy crabs, oysters, eel foie gras, lamb chops, and salmon sashimi. Everything tasted great. ✅ There were also many kid-friendly dishes, such as noodles, millet porridge, sweet potatoes, and corn. Beer, wine, brandy, and various drinks were unlimited. ✅ The children's play area had a ball pit (suitable for younger children), a mini supermarket, rocking cars, arcade games, and claw machines.
