Towering and imposing, a fine classical specimen of Chinese hospitality standing along one of the city's primary thoroughfares-Furong Middle Road-is Changsha Xiaoxiang Huatian Hotel. Built in that flamboyant style marking China's "golden era" economic boom-huge marble lobbies, crystal chandeliers, everything on a grand scale-it remains popular among business travelers and government officials due largely to its proximity to commercial centers as well as He Long Stadium. Slightly old-fashioned when compared with new designer boutique hotels it more than makes up for this by delivering solid levels of service accompanied by large rooms plus what can only be described as an atmosphere of solidity; Huatian is after all one provincial chain (in this case from Hunan) where prestige still means something.

  • × Front Desk English can get very basic, so better have that translator app on your phone ready and handy.
  • × Wi-Fi here can get spotty registering with a Chinese phone number (plus VPN to Western sites).

Hotel Scorecard - Changsha Xiaoxiang Huatian Hotel
