✨ Take your kids to WanderHotel for a healing and rejuvenating retreat ✨
📍 Location: Shentangyu, Huairou, Beijing
🚗 Transportation: Driving is recommended. It takes about 1-1.5 hours from downtown via the highway. Use "WanderHotel" as your navigation destination. Parking is available on-site.
🌳 Accommodation Environment
The moment you step into WanderHotel, it feels like entering a hidden paradise. Surrounded by lush green mountains and trees, the view from the windows includes the winding Great Wall and a babbling brook. The courtyard features a grassy lawn, a swimming pool, and a cloud swing, while the rooftop offers a scenic viewing terrace. In the evening, enjoy the mountain breeze and the view of rolling hills—it’s incredibly soothing. There’s also an adorable chubby cat in the yard. Initially mistaken for a pregnant female, it turns out to be a plump male cat with a hilariously reluctant expression 🤣.
🛏️ Room Details
The rooms are designed with families in mind, catering to both aesthetics and practical needs. We stayed in a spacious double room with a private terrace on the second floor. The wooden furniture paired with warm yellow lighting creates a cozy and refreshing ambiance. The bedding is made of soft cotton-linen material, making it feel like sinking into a cloud. Kids can jump around without disturbing the neighbors below.
• A small sofa by the window is perfect for soaking up the sun during the day or gazing at the mountain views at night. Every snapshot captures a serene "life is beautiful" vibe.
• The bathroom features a separate wet and dry area, along with a bathtub 🛁 and a shower. Disposable bath bags are thoughtfully provided, adding a touch of luxury. The kids had a blast in the tub!
• Step out onto the balcony to be greeted by lush greenery. The large terrace even has a tent, making it an ideal spot for an evening drink. Wake up to birdsong and fall asleep to the sound of the brook—city stress melts away instantly.
👶 Family-Friendly Amenities
• Kids’ Play Area: Both indoor and outdoor play areas are spacious and well-equipped with slides, swings, and toys, resembling a mini amusement park. Kids can play to their heart’s content while parents relax.
• Children’s Pool: The 0.6-meter-deep pool is perfect for little ones, ensuring safety while allowing for fun water play and photo opportunities.
🥘 Dining
Breakfast offers a variety of options, including corn porridge, buns, and eggs. Lunch and dinner are à la carte, featuring unique dishes. The braised pork with chestnuts is a must-try—the tender, sweet chestnuts paired with the savory pork are pure comfort food.
💕 Tips
• Bring mosquito repellent as there are many insects in the mountains.
• Pack extra clothes for kids if they’ll be playing in the water.
• Prepare for hot weather with sunscreen and other protective measures.
• While the rooms are well soundproofed, soft-soled slippers for kids can help minimize noise when they’re running around.
