Verging onto the Longmen Grottoes, a world culture heritage site, the Dongshan (means East Hill) Hotel is perfectly located for trips to the grottoes and is just a ten-minute drive from downtown Luoyang.

With the external appearance of a garden villa, a modern take on Song Dynasty decor adorns the inside, creating a calm and luxurious atmosphere. All designs are accordant with five-star standards.

A viewing platform allows the guests to see the grottoes area from above and onsite dining incorporates local produce to create healthy gourmet Chinese and Western dishes. Besides, the hotel offers a splendid banquet hall, business and conference rooms, shopping center, health center and chess room.
