Luxury Hotels in Lijiang

"Like Andaz, Aman doesn't need my praise. Every staff member remembers guests' names and room numbers, greeting everyone with a smile. It's a world apart from city hotels like the Regent, MO, or Rosewood. There are no noisy crowds here; you get to enjoy the hotel as one of only 36 guests. On a special note, the breakfast was truly excellent. Many dishes tasted incredibly authentic, a real treat when you're used to city life, where some foods just lose their original flavor."

"Staying in the Jacuzzi Villa was an absolute delight! The Naxi-style courtyard was elegant and peaceful, and the private, temperature-controlled Jacuzzi was clean and comfortable. Soaking under the stars at night melted away all my travel fatigue. I must commend Elin, our butler, for her outstanding service. From coordinating before our arrival to her attentive care during our stay, she was always quick to respond to any needs. She was thoughtful and professional, never intrusive, which truly enhanced the relaxing vacation vibe. The facilities were excellent, and the service was an added bonus – a perfect Lijiang getaway! Highly recommended!"

"I've stayed here multiple times, and I love it as much as ever. Every room offers a view of the snow-capped mountains. It was rainy during our summer visit, so we didn't get to see the golden peak at sunrise, but there was a different kind of hazy beauty. The rooms are equipped with oxygen, glucose, and brown sugar, which are helpful for alleviating discomfort. The hotel is at an altitude of 3127 meters (about 10,260 feet). I only had a slight headache on the first day, but my grandma and the little one had no issues at all. A big thank you to the hotel's WeChat customer service, Owen and Max, who provided 24/7 attentive and prompt service. And the restaurant server, Meng Ruilin – this young man was incredibly thoughtful! He was worried we'd get hungry on our hike, so after breakfast, he even packed us some provisions to take with us. Miss Zhu Yuzhen was also wonderful. My grandma even hand-wrote a thank you letter for the restaurant and gave it to the front desk. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, our stay was incredibly comfortable and caring. The hotel also has plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained."

"Before check-in, Vina from guest relations called to confirm my needs. What touched me most was when we returned from the ancient city in the rain, looking a bit disheveled, Vina immediately offered two steaming cups of ginger tea, dispelling the chill after the highland rain. The shuttle carts in the resort were on-call, and incredibly, takeout orders were delivered by staff directly to our room door – so convenient! The Executive Lounge is a benchmark for InterContinental hotels in China. The hot dishes during happy hour were substantial, and the freshly cooked rice noodle toppings had a rotating daily menu. The self-service cocktail bar was unforgettable. The afternoon tea was exquisite, and Ivy's enthusiastic service was just right, never feeling perfunctory. If we weren't sure what to mix, the lounge staff were happy to help us with our cocktails. Breakfast was so rich it was hard to choose. Besides the usual Chinese and Western options, we could also enjoy authentic local snacks like freshly grilled Rushan (milk fan cheese), Lijiang Baba, and Baojiang Tofu – very impressive. The room had a strong Naxi style, with wooden beams and dark floors exuding charm. The space was generous, and the bedding was extremely comfortable. The Dyson hairdryer and amenities highlighted the quality. We even received a hand-drawn card from Cici and a welcome gift upon arrival, which was especially heartwarming. Despite being an established hotel, the public areas and guest rooms are impeccably maintained. The cleaning was spotless, with no signs of wear and tear, demonstrating excellent daily upkeep. Located right outside the ancient city, and next to the Garden InterContinental, this hotel provided us with a perfect Lijiang experience through its exceptional service. I highly recommend it!"

"The most popular 'Water Pavilion' overlooking the snow-capped mountains on the internet really drew me in, so I decided to check into Jinmao for this unique beautiful view. The environment is absolutely stunning; the hotel is courtyard-style with a beautiful lake view. Although it was a cloudy day and I didn't get to see the snow mountains, which was a bit disappointing, the overall stay was excellent, especially the attentive service. They proactively asked about our needs and promptly mailed back an item we left behind."

"This hotel stay completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I could feel the hotel's elegance and warmth. The front desk staff were friendly, and the check-in process was quick and professional. The room interior was tastefully decorated and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed that made me feel right at home. The hotel's hygiene standards were also excellent; the room was spotless, which left a deep impression on me. The hotel's dining services were equally satisfying, with a rich selection for both breakfast and dinner, and the food was of superior quality. Facilities like the gym and swimming pool were well-maintained, offering guests additional convenience and enjoyment. Moreover, the hotel's location is extremely convenient, perfect for both business trips and sightseeing. Overall, this hotel not only met guests' needs in terms of hardware facilities but also demonstrated professionalism and enthusiasm in its service. Whether for a business trip or a leisure vacation, I highly recommend choosing this hotel for your accommodation."

"This hotel is perfect for a slow-paced vacation, and I'm absolutely delighted! It's located right by the entrance to Longnv Lake, about a 15-minute walk to the commercial street – not too far, not too close, so it's nice and quiet. If you're lucky, you can even see the 'Golden Mountain in the Morning Sun' right from your bed. The exterior features typical local stone architecture, while the interior design is very stylish. There's also a lovely grassy area out back that's great for photos. The room layout is practical, and the mattress and pillows are super comfortable. If you're not rushing to see all the sights, the hotel offers plenty of activities to keep you busy for days, like hiking and fruit picking, horseback riding around the lake, and Naxi home visits. It's especially great for families with kids. The airport shuttle service is also very convenient. I have to commend the service; the staff are all incredibly warm and friendly. When we needed anything, the 'little brothers and sisters' (staff members) responded quickly and were very thoughtful in helping us solve problems. The performer, an 'older brother' (staff member), was also very dedicated – great at singing and dancing. He didn't miss a single toast song before dinner, and the bonfire party had a fantastic atmosphere. The hotel food is outstanding, with unlimited fruit and drinks. The afternoon tea, in particular, was very rich and varied. The restaurant's zhajiang mian (noodles with fried sauce) and yak hotpot were delicious, and for breakfast, we even had milk bird's nest and peach gum sweet soup – very thoughtful! I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Lijiang. I hope the hotel maintains its quality. Looking forward to the second phase, see you next time!"

"This hotel is really unique, with a Chinese-style wooden structure. The room is spacious, and even with an extra bed, it doesn't feel crowded. It comes equipped with a TV, capsule coffee machine, tea set with tea, and plenty of drinking water. They also offered a free travel photography consultation, which was very helpful even though I didn't get to use it due to time constraints. The hotel service is very thoughtful, and the breakfast is abundant. It's part of the same group as the Intercontinental across the street, so you can use their breakfast and facilities as well. The bathtub is generously sized, and from one of our windows, we could even catch a distant view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Its location right next to Lijiang Ancient Town makes it super convenient for exploring the town and getting to Zhongyi Market."

"This is my second stay at the Wyndham Lijiang Railway Station, and here's why: 1. The location is absolutely superb! It's only about 300-400 meters from the train station, which means a quick and easy start to a relaxing stay upon arrival in Lijiang, and a smooth departure. No need to tire yourself out. 2. The service is fantastic! I added the butler on WeChat, and they were incredibly responsive, helping me with any issues immediately. They even upgraded me to a family room – a huge shout-out to the little butler! 3. They offer self-service laundry and dryers, which many five-star hotels don't provide for free; you usually have to pay. The Wyndham Lijiang Railway Station is a pioneer among five-star hotels in this regard. For long-term travelers like us, this is incredibly useful. I really hope all five-star hotels will offer self-service laundry in the future, giving guests the option of self-service or paid service. 4. No need for a taxi to eat, there are plenty of restaurants right across the street. From now on, the Wyndham Lijiang Railway Station will be my top choice whenever I visit Lijiang."

"Our stay at the Lijiang Old Town Amandela Hotel was a really positive experience overall, with many noteworthy advantages. The hotel is converted from an old Naxi traditional house, exuding a rich ethnic charm everywhere you look. A faint scent of pine wood permeated the room, creating a wonderful ambiance. The public areas featured cozy nooks for playing Go, reading quietly, or just relaxing, which was very pleasant during downtime. The hotel staff were all incredibly gentle and polite, making for an excellent experience. I especially want to commend one male staff member who helped us with our luggage on the morning we checked out. Our two suitcases weighed nearly 50 catties combined, and he effortlessly carried one in each hand down from the second floor. He was efficient and his service was truly outstanding. The bathroom hardware was top-notch, with a Hansgrohe Axor showerhead and a sink faucet with ample water flow, making for a comfortable experience. We had a choice of toiletries, and we opted for L'Occitane. The breakfast was exquisite and meticulously prepared, with outstanding flavors – easily on par with high-end restaurants. The hotel also offered a complimentary afternoon tea, including fruit, nuts, tea, and pastries. Before 9 PM, we could also get fruit, nuts, and drinks, which was a thoughtful and convenient perk. The bedding, bath towels, and hand towels were all of high quality, thick and soft, contributing to a great sleeping and washing experience. I'll also objectively mention a few minor drawbacks of our stay: The room size was a bit small. We had two suitcases, and could only fully open one, while the other had to be placed on the desk. The entire room had wooden decor, so there was some noise when walking on the floor. Room soundproofing was average. The overall indoor lighting was a bit dim, which might not be ideal for families with young children. The light switches had no labels, making them a bit hard to find initially. During peak breakfast hours, the food service was a bit slow, there were too few restaurant staff, and the entrance lacked personnel to maintain order, making it feel a little crowded. Overall, both the hardware and service were exceptional, and I would still highly recommend staying here."
