Hotels near Taihecheng Relic Site, Dali

Dali was a relatively unfamiliar name to me. From the temporary station in Dali to the entrance of the Pullman Hotel, everything seemed indistinguishable from other small to medium-sized cities. However, during my two-day stay at this hotel, I encountered the attentive Beata at the front desk, the ever-smiling and enthusiastic Felix in the lobby, and the kind-hearted driver Xiao Bao. They truly made me feel at home. Thanks to the recommendations of Felix and Beata, we were fortunate to have Xiao Bao as our guide for a day trip around Erhai Lake. Like many other tourists, we admired Cangshan Mountain, enjoyed the views of Erhai, tasted Xi Zhou Baba, got sunburnt, and took some mediocre photos—memories that might fade over time. Perhaps I won’t often recall the stories Xiao Bao shared about the history of the Dali Kingdom, the transformation of Yunnan’s war god into a mythical creature, or the customs of the Bai people’s weddings, the local treasures, and peculiarities. But what Xiao Bao left us with was a deeper connection and more unforgettable memories. I will remember how Xiao Bao passionately and vividly introduced his hometown to us. I will remember how he diligently and safely drove us for nine hours in one day, enduring the scorching sun while showing us the scenic spots around Erhai. He gave us a beautiful day. He added warmth and color to Cangshan and Erhai, bringing out an unparalleled shade of blue, perhaps the same deep indigo blue that the Bai people cherish. Though our two days in Dali were short, they were filled with meaning, leaving me with a sense of longing as I departed. I believe I will remember Dali for a long time, and I will fondly think of the people I met here. I hope Dali’s sun is gentle, so Xiao Bao’s sensitive skin feels more comfortable. Thank you, Xiao Bao, and the Pullman staff who took care of us these past two days. Dali, I will often think of you. Because of you all, this place is truly wonderful and beautiful and memorable.

Our room was a very comfortable Duplex. Breakfast was a spread. Location is convenient and close to several photo taking spots and the main tourist attraction - Dali ancient city. Service at this hotel is the most fantastic, one of the friendliest service staff we have met. On one occasion, they even assisted with the transferring of our laundry from the washer to the dryer - we didn’t had to wait to DIY and just went to bed, collected them at the reception then following morning - which was a very delightful experience for us. The hotel gym is also extremely well equipped if you need a workout to acclimatise to the higher altitude. Overall a very enjoyable stay for three of us.

The view from this hotel is amazing! You will be impressed! They also provide pickup and dropoff from the train station, which is absolutely convenient. Breakfast provided is pretty good too, I am happy to have them every morning! Owner also kindly offer guests warm milk at night, which is surprisingly nice. If you need any tour, booking or help around town, the owner is right there to assist. Will highly recommend this accommodation!

We recently stayed at a hotel right outside the 南门of the Ancient City, and its location couldn't have been more convenient. Given how jammed Dali can get, walking was the best option, and this hotel’s location made it incredibly easy to explore the area on foot. The staff here is simply the best I’ve ever encountered. I had many parcels delivered to the hotel before my arrival, and they not only managed all of them seamlessly but also offered to send out additional parcels on my behalf. Despite the hotel being fully booked, they attended to our requests promptly and always with a smile. Their dedication to going above and beyond was truly impressive. The staff also provided excellent recommendations for food and activities nearby, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic, and the views of 苍山 were amazing. We had a wonderful stay, and we will definitely be back!

It’s a quiet beautiful hotel conveniently located at the old town. The non-smoking room is modern with Japanese toilet/bidet with adequate heating. Good wifi. Wide spread of breakfast. Service is good. We celebrated our friend’s birthday and the kitchen prepared longevity noodles for the birthday girl. Nice spacious environment, too. Check in & check out is fast. Highly recommendable hotel.

Despite being located in the ancient city, the hotel is remarkably quiet, thanks to its excellent soundproofing. The friendly reception and spotless rooms offer great value for money.

Super friendly staff who recommended nice dinner places. Room is a bit small, but this hotel is located in the ancient city, so it is understandable. There is construction going on at the main street outside the hotel, so you have to pull your luggage across a few alleys. Breakfast not included.

The host and the staff are very very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to everyone for your stay in Lijiang, and we will definitely return to this hotel! The view from the rooftop is spectacular, with delicious afternoon tea and “suyoucha” testing session hosted at the rooftop. The homestay locate at a quiet and peaceful street, 15mins walking distance away from Lijiang Old Town, with a lot of eateries and convenient shops around. The staffs constantly checked on us, helping us with all of our enquiry and also our MeiTuan delivery!

The service was exceptional! We had a personal butler who was super helpful and responsive to all the requests we had. She also helped us to arrange for a car service to explore the attractions that we wanted to see in Dali. The hotel was modern, clean and centrally located in the heart of the ancient town. There are also some really nice photo spots and they provided snacks for us to feed the seagulls. Although there were insects that flew into the room at night, we asked for assistance and the staff promptly came to clean it up. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would recommend others to stay here!

The hotel is in a great location, by the water, very suitable for taking photos. The housekeeper Liu Jin's service is very good. He came to pick up the luggage and check in in advance, which is very thoughtful. The breakfast in the hotel is also very comfortable
