Royal Dong Nationality Culture Village

Amazing hotel! The view alone would be worth choosing this location, but the level of care from the owners and staff really makes the place special. It’s a short ride from the national park gates and very cheap in a taxi so well worth it over staying in town which is busy and noisy so not relaxing after a busy day in Zhangjiajie park.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Pandora Boutique Hotel isn't just beautiful -- it's the staff that makes this a truly wonderful experience. Zhangjiajie National Park can be difficult to do without a tour group, but the owner was extraordinary. She would lay out plans for us each night, from helping us with trip bookings to highlighting the best look-out spots to detailing bus routes that we needed to take down to the minute. I would also highly recommend eating at the hotel for dinner. The food is all made in-house (you can actually see the staff folding dumplings in the morning) and everything is absolutely delicious / is a super reasonable price. 11/10 would recommend. This is a must book if you're visiting the national park.
