郑州5家最佳酒店·少林寺门户·2026年

We open the Zhengzhou list with the most upscale place in town — JW Marriott Hotel Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou is the capital of Henan province and central China's big rail hub, the natural gateway to the Shaolin Temple, Mount Songshan and the Yellow River viewpoints. This is the best 5-star on our list, sitting in the heart of the Zhengdong New District CBD between the Zhengzhou International Convention & Exhibition Center and the Henan Art Center, right on the CBD ring lake. It opened in 2014 with over 410 rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city and lake, an indoor pool, a spa, a 24-hour gym, a suite lounge, several restaurants and bars, and over 2,500 square metres of event space including a 1,000-square-metre grand ballroom. It's about 7km from Zhengzhou East railway station and 32km from the airport. Real guests score it around 9.4 from 8,700+ reviews, with rates from about $97 a night. We'd point couples and business travelers here for the best luxury room in the city.

Our number-two pick is a luxury hotel in the thick of the business district — Hilton Zhengzhou. It stands on Jinshui Road in Jinshui District, and its standout trick is a second-floor bridge that links the lobby straight into the Jinshui Shenglong mall, so you can shop without ever stepping outside. Inside there's an indoor pool, a spa, a 24-hour gym, a kids club and an executive lounge. The three restaurants cover a lot of ground — international buffet at 8 Elements, proper Italian at Amici, and Cantonese, Henan and Sichuan dishes at Yu Garden. There's 1,800 square metres of meeting space across 12 rooms, including a pillarless grand ballroom. Guests repeatedly praise how well the rooms block sound. It sits about 8 km from Zhengzhou Railway Station and roughly 35 km from the airport, and scores around 9.4 from over 9,900 reviews. Rooms start near $77 a night. We'd send families and business travelers who want a trusted international brand right in the shopping district.

Ranked third, but with the highest guest score in the whole list — M Hotel Zhengzhou. After two big 5-star names, this is the value surprise: a modern-design 4-star that pulls a real-guest 9.7 out of more than 2,800 reviews on Trip.com, higher than either luxury hotel above it. It sits on Longhai West Road in Zhongyuan district, the west side of the centre, a few minutes from Longhai Xilu metro station. About 205 rooms are done in a contemporary style and many come with a balcony or a sitting nook behind floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a Chinese restaurant, a lobby cafe, service robots delivering to rooms, free parking, a business centre and a 24-hour front desk. It is roughly 6 km from Zhengzhou station, an easy metro ride to the Erqi area. Rooms start around $31 a night — we recommend it for couples and travelers who want design and a top score for the best price in the list.

Number 4 is the best walk-everywhere base on this list — Zhengzhou Yuehai Hotel (listed on Trip.com as Zhengzhou GDH Hotel — same place). It is a 4-star whose whole pitch is the address: it sits on Dehua Street in the heart of Erqi Square, in Erqi District, right on the Dehua pedestrian street, and just 400 metres — a 5-minute walk — from the Erqi Memorial Tower, the landmark that defines the city. You can walk to Zhengzhou railway station, and Metro Line 1 is close, which makes this the easiest stay here for getting around on foot. The tower stands 99 metres over 28 floors and holds around 336 rooms with sitting nooks. The standout is the revolving restaurant on a high floor — the only one in the city — plus a Chinese restaurant, lounge bar, karaoke, sauna, spa, gym, pool tables, ping-pong and mini-golf. The airport is about 35 km out. Real guests rate it around 9.2 across 3,700+ reviews, with rooms from about $34 a night.

We close the list with a brand-name pick that earns its keep — Holiday Inn Express Zhengzhou Zhongzhou, an IHG hotel run by InterContinental Hotels Group. It sits on Jinshui Road in Jinshui District, near the Zijingshan business area and across from Henan Provincial People's Hospital, a short walk from Metro Line 1 (Zijingshan and Yanzhuang stations). It opened in 2000 and had a full renovation in 2020, with around 269 compact, warm rooms. The value lever is free breakfast on every stay — Western, Chinese and Asian — plus a heated indoor pool and a free gym, with free private parking, free Wi-Fi, EV charging and a paid airport shuttle. It's about 7km from Zhengzhou Station. Guests score it around 9.3 from over 2,800 reviews, from about $34 a night. Note: the original article listed it as 3-star, but after the 2020 reno Trip.com rates it 4-star.
