Pingyao Harmony Hotel

It was an amazing place to stay!

Pingyao throws you back a couple centuries and this hotel happily keeps you in theme. We loved it - but it’s not for everyone. If you are seeking a 5* resort experience and are particular about everything, this isn’t your place. If you’re a bit more laid back and like the idea of a super charming old-timey China experience then you’re in the right place. Know the beds are super firm, ha, but no problem for any of the 4 of us (parents and teenagers). The host and owner Sara is a joy, helpful, and speaks English.

This hotel has more of a bare-bones appeal to it, but comes with a long history and period-accurate restoration. It is in the Pingyao Old City so finding the hotel late at night is not advisable, but they do allow late check-in and check-out. Hosts speak english and are very kind and helpful. Breakfast can be ordered onsite. Loved it. Will be back.

Very charming family owned hotel, right in the center of old town.
