"Stayed 2 nights at the Gubei Wtown Resort. The resort is probably one of the larger resorts within the area of Gubei Watertown.
Your coach or taxi will drop you at the Carpark (P2) outside the Watertown as no outside vehicles are allowed inside the Watertown. It is a short walk to the Visitor Centre where you can deposit your luggage and register for the hotel/resort/ boutique accommodation over here.
Please note "no drones" are allowed beyond this point. They will screen through every luggage.
After which you can take the Watertown Shuttle to your resort which is only a couple of mins. If you have big luggage, they will send directly to the hotel you booked as well.
The resort is beautiful a blend with ancient Chinese design with modern architecture.
The room is immaculately adorned with traditional furniture, murals, artifacts and other traditional Chinese elements to exude the ancient town. It is very spacious too, truly luxurious!
We bought the package which includes daily breakfast for 2, a dinner for 2, a spa (onsen) for 2, a handicraft experience either Kite making or lantern making for 1 and the Simatai Great Wall Ticket for 2 (hike up).
There is a huge swimming pool within the hotel and a gym. Very under utilised. It is nice to have a swim after the Great Wall hike.
In short, it is a very memorable stay the resort worth every penny of it."

"Visited over winter with temperatures averaging -6 to -15 degrees Celcius. Class, comfort and cleanliness were considerations. This classy hotel in the Gubei water town village complex ticked all boxes. It exudes grandiose, finesse and cultural charm - both a scholar and an entrepreneur will agree and find themselves pampered here. Building and rooms were heated. The souvenirs sold at the coffeehouse make a great gift - quality, unpretentiously local and reasonably priced."
