Vantu·ANNICA Tourism Resort (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park)

had a pleasant stay at annika resort. the staff went above and beyond to fulfil our needs and wants. an honourable mention would go to xiao qing the hotel manager. he planned our whole itinerary for us. location was strategically located beside the national park however resort was a distance from the town area. Views from my tatami room were beautiful, price was reasonable for what you get in return. Would definitely recommend this place!

Location: Location is near to zimu gang entrance gate of the national park. Walk 3 minutes to the gate. Our butler小覃is awesome! Before even arriving, we communicate through WeChat to obtain our Tianmenshan tickets. Base on his recommendation - We planned our trip such that day 1 we cover tianmenshan. You can deposit your luggage at the foot of tianmenshan gate if you are like us - arriving straight from airport. Day 2 and 3 were spent at the national park right beside the hotel. It’s more convenient that way. That saying, this hotel is far from downtown. Most of the town activities are 20minutes drive away. We didn’t have a car, so we managed through DiDi car sharing service. Transport wasn’t a great issue. We choose this hotel because it’s quiet. If you want to immerse yourself in activities, you will be better off staying at the East Gate area. Service and amenities: Service is great! Breakfast included. Sumptuous enough for our 8 hours daily hike in the national park. You can easily get your tickets from the butler anytime through WeChat. He helped us to return tickets when we couldn’t make it for certain attractions on time too. The washing machine is down during our time here. We were hoping to get our clothes washed, especially after hiking in the rain for multiple days. Unfortunately that cannot be done. We just hand wash and dry it in our balcony. That was a bummer. They have a gym, outdoor. It will be great if it’s indoor and we will definitely use it. View is awesome. We have a bathtub in the room which we used it to soak our tired bodies after long hike. Amenities are limited. But generally we were there for the location and ambience. You get random insects in the room at times, that’s the thing about staying near nature. If it’s an issue for you - try to get the upper floor rooms. Our room was at the ground floor. Lastly, we love their house cat!

We had a very nice stay in a family room. This hotel is really beautiful. Excellent views from the rooms. The location is very convenient close to one of the park entrances. You can just walk a few minutes and you are at the gate. The staff was nice and and helpful. Food was very good once we learned what to order and what not to order. The menu is in Chinese and English, but no pictures. Breakfast was good as long as you stay with the Chinese options. The staff helped buying tickets for the park and let us do a very late check out on the last day, which we were very grateful for. We had a very pleasant stay and really enjoyed the beautiful and calm surroundings.

My family had a great time staying in this beautiful guesthouse - the rooms had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful mountains of Zhangjiajie, and waking up to this scenery is in the mornings was a treat. The location is great as well- just a mere 3 minutes walk to the Zi Mu Gang entrance of the Zhangjiajie National Park. As the place is a bit further out from the Wulingyuan city, there were not many restaurants nearby for our dinner so we ended up dining within the premises for two nights, which I have to say was very delicious and hearty! Most importantly, the staff were really helpful and will always go out of the way to help us with any requests. A special shoutout to 小覃, who was in charge of our stay- thank you for helping us with the planning of our itinerary in the National Park, arranging transportation etc.

Such an amazing stay! We stayed in 2 different rooms (the most affordable for the first night and the Holiday Family Panorama Suite for the rest of our stay) and both rooms have a modern aesthetic and clean. Our second room was stunning and really worth the price. It’s really close to the infamous mountains and the staff give you a map and helpfully explain how to go about the trek. For our fellow foreigners, the meal options are limited and mainly Chinese but the options they had were enjoyable. I have to give a special thanks to Kit, who picked me up from the airport and drove us to the grocery store to pick up some snacks we might need (since the town is a bit far from the homestay). It was my boyfriend’s birthday so I had asked the staff to help me with a set up which they gladly committed to. They blew up all the balloons and hung them up and I loved it! Kit also went out of his way to get a birthday cake which we shared with the guests at the restaurant. Everyone was super friendly too. So 10/10 would t recommend.

Lovely place. Super clean. Very kind staff. Great facilities, especially during December winter (negative temperature). Great heating system, flawless supply of hot water. Amazing common area to chill. Last but not the least breakfast was very good as well. As a cherry on the top a cute monkey comes everyday to the lawn.. which everyone gets to feed. Tatami star gazing room was good, but it was hard to look out as the heating system caused a lot of humidity form on the glass making it difficult to see outside. This could be good during summer.

Elegant hotel/guest house just a short walk from the Southeast Gate of Zhangjiajie Nat'l Park. Serene, spacious rooms. Great views. Excellent service (staff help booking shows, park entrances, tours, restaurants, etc). Restaurant on site.

Highly recommend this hotel! The staff were amazing and spoke great English, particularly Peilin who was very helpful with planning our hiking routes. The hotel is right by the National Park entrance which was ideal. Everything was clean and tidy and the views were amazing.

a veary beautiful place and very helpful and friendly staff. the view is stunning and food is also great. a bit pity that the swimming pool is under renovation.
