DoubleTree by Hilton Kaifeng

DoubleTree by Hilton Kaifeng is a mid-range hotel at No. 39 Zhengkai Road in Longting District, Kaifeng, Henan. It lies roughly ten minutes by car from the main Kaifeng sights, which include the Millennium City Park, the Iron Pagoda, Longting Park and the old-town night markets that draw visitors to this former Northern Song dynasty capital. The hotel is in the modern part of the city rather than the historic core, which means a quieter setting with easy road access, and taxis or ride-hailing apps are the simplest way to reach the attractions. Zhengzhou is about an hour away by road or fast train, making Kaifeng a popular overnight stop or day trip from the provincial capital.

The DoubleTree brand is known for a warm, relaxed style, and its rooms are comfortable and family-friendly. Room types include King Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, with wifi throughout. The hotel is a good option for families because of its indoor pool, which is unusual among mid-range hotels in the city and useful in winter and in the hot summer months. The property also suits couples and business travelers who want comfort at a moderate price.

Dining is provided by an on-site restaurant serving breakfast and other meals. Kaifeng is celebrated for its street food, including guantang baozi soup dumplings, peanut cakes and night-market snacks, so many guests eat out in the old town in the evening and return to the hotel for a comfortable night. A fitness center supplements the indoor pool.

Service is friendly and helpful, and staff can arrange taxis and provide directions, though English may be limited. At roughly ¥400-650 per night, about $60-97, the hotel offers good value for an international brand and is particularly appealing to families and those who value swimming facilities. It is a convenient base for one or two nights in Kaifeng exploring the city's Song dynasty heritage.
