In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
This is the most distinctive-looking hotel in Luoyang, and the rooms make the case the moment you walk in — crystal chandeliers, heavy furniture and European paintings, closer to a small palace suite than a standard hotel room. Beds are soft, and the bathrooms are done in marble with a ceramic tub. Reviewers keep coming back to the decor and the sense of staying somewhere that feels special rather than generic.
Food and amenities
There's a spa and an indoor pool on site. The European restaurant runs French and Italian plates, while the Chinese restaurant sticks to traditional Henan food. The European kitchen is the part guests mention most — more than one review calls it better than you'd expect in Luoyang.
Location and getting there
It sits in central Luoyang. The Longmen Grottoes are about 11 km away and the White Horse Temple around 12 km, both roughly a 20-minute taxi. The Luoyang Longmen high-speed railway station is about 7 km out, so arrivals by fast train are a short ride away.
Things to know before booking
The committed European styling is a strong look — lovely if it's your thing, less so if you'd rather a clean modern room. You're about 11 km from the Longmen Grottoes, so factor in taxis for the big sights instead of walking. And it prices above the Holiday Inn Express in town, so this is the splurge, not the budget bed.
Our take
Christian's Hotel is the one to book if you want a honeymoon or romantic stay that doesn't feel like another chain — the kind of place couples pick for pre-wedding photos and a different sort of night. If you're after a no-fuss base for sightseeing, look elsewhere; if you want character, this is it.
