Guilin Ronghu Hotel

Guilin Ronghu Hotel is an upscale lakeside hotel on Xinyi Road beside Rong Lake in Xiufeng District, Guilin, Guangxi, China. The site dates to 1953, which gives the property one of the longer histories among the city's hotels, and it reopened in 2026 after renovation. The hotel stands within the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic circuit, with the banyan-lined shore of Rong Lake on its doorstep and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, Shan Lake and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street reachable on foot. Elephant Trunk Hill and the Li River bank lie a short taxi ride to the east and south. The atmosphere combines garden grounds and a lakeside setting with refreshed interiors, which suits travellers looking for a calmer base than the busy pedestrian streets. Listed room types are Standard Room and Deluxe Room, and amenities include wifi and a restaurant. Rates follow the typical Guilin four-star level of roughly 425 yuan (about 63 US dollars) per night, though a reopened property may price differently, so current rates should be checked. Dining is available on site at the restaurant, and the many noodle shops, tea houses and local restaurants around the lake provide alternatives. Spa, pool and fitness facilities are not listed in the available information. The service character is that of a traditional large hotel, with a front desk able to arrange Li River cruise tickets, airport transfers from Liangjiang Airport and day trips to Yangshuo or the Longji rice terraces. Because of the recent renovation, guest reviews published before 2026 may describe the older building, so visitors may want to look for recent feedback. The lakeside garden is the most distinctive feature and is a pleasant place for a morning walk before sightseeing.
