Hengdian Chengyi Hotel (Movie City Branch)  

Chengyi Hotel is a four-star stay in the new area of Hengdian World Studios. Steps from studio attractions, it’s an easy base for sightseeing with free parking and a complimentary shuttle to nearby spots.

Modern and classical décor collide — redwood gates, rammed-earth walls, blackwood furniture and carved-wood tables give the place an artisanal, homelike vibe. Rooms feature premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, slippers and views that lean scenic rather than ordinary.

Daily breakfast buffet, a 24-hour fitness center, self-service laundry, a library and a picnic area set this hotel apart. There’s an elevator, concierge service, dry cleaning/ironing and free on-site parking. Expect easy, practical comforts and a few thoughtful design details.

High-speed internet throughout the property and a reception geared to both leisure and business travelers make staying connected simple.

On-site restaurant serves a styled menu and a daily breakfast buffet with fresh pastries, hot dishes, local specialties and barista-style coffee — a good wake-up ritual before heading to the studios.
