WHY WE LOVE THIS HOTEL

Location: Visiting the Great Wall is nice, but being able to view it from the comfort of your room set against the backdrop of the rising and setting sun is even nicer.
Style: While interiors have an undeniably modern flair, the Dhawa Jinshanling’s exteriors hold onto traditional regional aesthetics that are both soothing and stylish.
Comfort: The comfortably appointed rooms and calming courtyards turn trips to the Great Wall from a mad tourist dash into a soothing travel experience.

DETAILED DECRIPTION

Few things are more quintessentially Chinese than the Great Wall. Seeing it is a must for visitors to the Middle Kingdom, and the Dhawa Jinshanling hotel is an excellent choice when the time comes. Accommodations feature classically designed exteriors in keeping with regional aesthetics paired with wholly modern, yet undeniably Chinese, interiors. Even entry-class rooms are appointed with king-size beds, and many have private courtyards for guests to enjoy. There are also a number of rooms that offer direct views of the Great Wall. The main restaurant serves cuisine ranging from Northern Chinese dishes to contemporary Cantonese entrees, and there is also an indulgent bar. Unwind at the end of the day with an on-site massage, or relax at the recreation center where you can enjoy a game of mah-jong or participate in a weight-bearing exercise.
