Small meeting room10–20 people
36 m² with one long table and two half tables that rearrange as needed. A single cable to the screen, a one-switch power panel, and a sound system that does both meetings and karaoke. Outside the door is a 60 m² wooden deck, so indoors and out work as one space.

How many fit
40+ overnight
20 rooms and 34 beds accommodate 40+ overnight guests, with extra beds available by arrangement. Share your overnight headcount and separate-bed or extra-bed needs; the front desk will arrange rooms for your dates. Historical per-room occupancy is not a rooming plan.
50+ for a day event
Meeting capacity is 50+, subject to layout; the pavilion holds 30–50. Anyone beyond the overnight number comes for the day, or stays elsewhere in the village.
Eating
The kitchen cooks Huairou food, with some of it from the hotel’s own plot and the village. Groups can eat as a set menu, a buffet, or a barbecue at the long tables under the trees in the evening. The pastry is made by hand by a local cook: pork-crackling buns, big steamed dumplings, three-delicacy boiled dumplings, red-date sponge.
