Hilton Garden Inn Datong Pingcheng

Hilton Garden Inn Datong Pingcheng is a modern international-brand hotel at 1 Heng'an Street South in the Shuibosi area of Datong, Shanxi Province, China. The hotel is south of the old city, and its position makes it useful for travelers arriving at Datong South Railway Station, from which high-speed trains connect to Taiyuan and Beijing. The old city sights, including the Drum Tower, Huayan Temple and the rebuilt Ming walls, are a taxi ride away, as are the Yungang Grottoes about 16 kilometers west of the city. The hotel is a contemporary, mid-rise property built in the standardized style of the Hilton Garden Inn brand, with a bright lobby, consistent room layouts and a dependable, business-friendly atmosphere. Rooms are offered as king rooms, twin rooms and suites, with nightly rates generally around 400 to 650 yuan, a moderate price for an international-brand hotel in the city. Free Wi-Fi covers the property, rooms include work desks and comfortable bedding, and the layout suits both short business stays and leisure visits. The on-site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and international and Chinese dishes, and a fitness centre is available for exercise. There is no confirmed pool or spa. The service character is consistent and efficient, with English-speaking front-desk staff more common than in local independent hotels, and a desk that can assist with taxis to Yungang or the Hanging Temple. The hotel is a sound choice for visitors who value predictable standards, modern rooms and easy rail access over being in the historic centre, and for those who plan to use taxis or organized tours for sightseeing.
