Ace Hotel Keketuohai

Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mineral-scarred mountains of the Keketuohai geopark set the tone at this four-star hotel, where the region's ski slopes and geological oddities are the main event. The 73 rooms run to blue velvet headboards, flat-screen TVs, and properly stocked bathrooms. Breakfast covers Western, Chinese, and Asian options, and the team sorts ski equipment and car hire for guests who came here to actually use the outdoors.
