Liuzhou Accommodation
|
Liuzhou has a wide choice of accommodation, ranging from 4 and 5 star hotels through more economic, but less well equipped hotels all the way down to cheap (but not necessarily cheerful) guesthouses. For long term hotel stay, the four or five star hotels are the main choice. We have not give rates as these change all the time and various discounts apply depending on length of stay etc. Often travel agents or internet booking services can obtain better prices, too. All hotel websites have English unless noted otherwise.

Liuzhou Hotel
Liuzhou Hotel is the city's flagship hotel. Originally built in 1952, it was for many years Liuzhou's only 'luxury' hotel. As the staff never miss an opportunity to tell you, guests in the past include just about every Chinese leader (except Mao, but including Deng Xiao Ping, Jiang Jemin, and current president, Hu Jintao.) Although it is Liuzhou's only 5 star hotel, do remember it is owned by the same people who award the stars! The hotel has been upgraded several times and remains one of the cities top venues. Aside from a number of Chinese restaurants, Liuzhou Hotel also has what it thinks is a Western Restaurant (mainly steaks) and a few staff who think they speak English. Do pick up a copy of their in-house magazine for the hilariously inept translations. The hotel is set in attractive gardens in a relatively quiet corner, close to the city centre. It is popular with medium to long-term foreign visitors and provides the services one would expect from such an establishment, including business and internet services.

Lijing Hotel
The Lijing Hotel is rapidly becoming a favourite among medium term residents. More modern than Liuzhou Hotel, more recently opened and somewhat more relaxed, the hotel is very central. There is what they call a western restaurant on the first (ground) floor. The buffet breakfasts are OK, but I'm sure most other food is cooked by someone who has never seen western food outside a picture book. Not recommended.

Jingdu Hotel
The Jingdu is an old favourite with returning expats. Located just to the north of the city centre, the hotel has all the features one would expect of a 4 star hotel. It also has serviced apartments. The first floor restaurant offers fixed price all-you-can-eat evening buffets and is probably the best place to find western food. The attached coffee shop is less good.

Liuzhou Grand Hotel
Liuzhou Grand Hotel, more commonly known by its Chinese name, Liuzhou Binguan is a three star hotel bang in the centre of town. despite the three star rating, it has delusions of grandeur, but isn't a bad place to stay, especially if you want to be right on top of the evening action in the nearby pedestrian streets. A top attraction here is the 30th floor revolving restaurant which takes one hour to revolve giving a bird's eye view of the city. The food isn't anything special, but it is worth doing once for the view. The place does get very busy, especially in the mid-morning and evening. Booking is advised.
