Hotels in Guilin

Guilin hotels build their pools around the karst peaks that ring the city, and the type of pool on offer usually tracks the neighborhood: downtown towers near Zhengyang Road lean toward indoor pools that stay open through the humid summers and the damp winters, while resorts scattered toward Yangshuo and Yuzi Paradise favor outdoor decks framed by the same limestone hills tourists come to photograph. Families splitting a Li River cruise with a hotel stay tend to want a shallow outdoor pool near the river piers, while business travelers passing through for a night before Yangshuo often pick an indoor pool close to the train station instead. Choosing between the two shapes the rest of the stay more than the star rating does.
