Peonies are Luoyang?s official flower and this centrally located property is in the perfect spot to discover why. Adjacent to Xiyuan Park, the Peony Plaza Hotel is a ten-minute drive from the railway station and within walking distance of the peony-filled botanical gardens. A short cab ride to the shops and restaurants downtown, the hotel is also a good base for trips to the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple, less than half an hour away. Rooms are decorated in Oriental and traditional European design and dining options include Macau, Cantonese and Western cuisine, with local wines also on the menu. Breakfast is taken in the hotel?s 25th-floor revolving restaurant where guests can survey Luoyang and its park and peonies from a great height.
