Overall it was good, but the shuttle driver on the morning of the 27th really dragged things down. Two examples: First, the same driver was on shuttle duty on the evening of the 26th. When he took us from Tingtao No. 2 to the East Gate, we asked if he could come back to pick us up after we finished dinner. He said:…
East Lake Hotel has long enjoyed a stellar reputation, known as the "Zhongnanhai of Hubei." Chairman Mao Zedong stayed here 48 times, and other central leaders also stayed here on many occasions. East Lake Hotel is also a venue for major domestic and international conferences. During my working years, I stayed twice…
The hotel's environment, both inside and out, is excellent. Inside it's spacious and bright, while outside along the lake there are boardwalks and parks with high negative ion levels.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
