Hotel Libre Resorts di Huangshan

The room was incredibly spacious; it felt like quite a walk from the vanity area to the walk-in closet (yes, it has one!). The bathroom featured a smart wet/dry separation and a large bathtub. There were two large floor-to-ceiling windows, offering panoramic green views rarely found in a city. A floor-to-ceiling mirror by the window made the lush greenery appear to surround you from all directions. It was very quiet. My lovely concierge mentioned that due to its proximity to the train station, there might be train noises, but it was perfectly fine – at least for me, it didn't affect my stay at all. The high-speed rail station is about a 30-minute taxi ride away. Even so, the hotel thoughtfully provided earplugs. The hotel complex itself is quite extensive; it felt like a long walk from my room to the lobby just to pick up a coffee order. A small delivery robot would make things even more perfect. Breakfast was good: the coffee was nice, the millet porridge paired perfectly with fermented bean curd, the wontons were tasty, and the fruit was fresh. After eating, you could also relax for a while in the courtyard. The old street is about a 20-minute leisurely walk if you have the energy. Most other attractions are quite far, but that's not the hotel's fault; attractions in Anhui province are very spread out, making it more suitable for self-driving. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet place to unwind and simply relax, this is an excellent choice. Would definitely visit again.
