Glass House  

Tucked into the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, right by the national-park scenery. You’re within reach of the Wulingyuan Scenic Reserve and the Sea of Clouds, about 12 km from Zhangjiajie city center (roughly 18.6 km to the reserve by road).

A small 4-star inn with just nine individually decorated guestrooms and private patios. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with desks, coffee/tea makers, rainfall showers or bathtubs, complimentary toiletries and slippers, and daily housekeeping. Expect relaxed, nature-forward decor that plays off the park views.

Indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, a garden for taking in the misty mountain air, tour/ticket assistance and an elevator for accessibility. Express check-in/out, on-site laundry/dry-cleaning, a TV in the common area, complimentary airport shuttle (on request) and free parking make getting around simple.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for easy arrivals and departures.

Two on-site restaurants showcasing local flavors and dishes. A local-cuisine breakfast is served daily (hours reported as 7–10AM or 8–10AM), so you can fuel up before heading out to the peaks.
