For comparison, the typical hotel in Taiyuan is about $83. Prices are earlier observations, not quotes; the booking site shows the live price for your dates. **Which are the top-ranked hotels in Taiyuan that accept foreigners?** On Staylist World: Mercure Taiyuan Yingze (guest rating 9.8 from 910 reviews), Mercure Hotel (Taiyuan Qinxian Street) (guest rating 9.7 from 2,383 reviews), Mercure Hotel Wanxiang City Changfeng West Street,Taiyuan (guest rating 9.4 from 1,202 reviews). The order weighs each score by how many guests reviewed the hotel, and no hotel can pay to rank higher. **Where are most hotels in Taiyuan that accept foreigners?** Xiaodian District (8), Yingze District (4), Wanbailin District (2), Xinghualing District (2). **Can foreigners stay at any hotel in Taiyuan?** No. Hotels in mainland China need police approval to register foreign guests, and some smaller hotels do not have it. Every hotel on this list states on its booking page that it accepts guests from all countries. Book online rather than walking in: you can be turned away at a hotel without the approval, and staff cannot make an exception. **What happens when a foreigner checks in at a hotel in Taiyuan?** The front desk scans your passport and registers you with the police for you; it usually takes a few minutes. Staff may speak little English, but most use a translation device. Many hotels ask for no deposit; when they do, it is usually ¥100 to ¥300 by Alipay, WeChat Pay or foreign card, refunded at checkout. **Should I book my Taiyuan hotel in advance?** Yes. Booking ahead guarantees a hotel that can register you and keeps your room at busy times; there is nothing to gain by waiting until you arrive. Paying online in advance also avoids card machines that front-desk staff rarely use for foreign cards. ## More in Taiyuan - [5-Star Hotels in Taiyuan](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/taiyuan-cn/5-star) --- Previously observed price; confirm current price and availability.
