The rooms were very spacious, clean, quiet. Staff were amazing and very helpful. Nancy from front desk was exceptional, she noticed that our child was having his birthday during our stay and organised a small cake. It really made our day! Nancy was also very thoughtful about our room configuration as we had a big family. Andy also helped us organise a tour and went above and beyond to make it happen! Unbelievable staff! The resort was immaculate! Breakfast was so good! Location was super close to old town.

    “I was particularly impressed with the staff and their professional nature and how went out of their way to help me. Firstly, Julie at the front desk, not only helped me get the room I desired, but she stayed late to help me personally. I asked if anyone that spoke English could help me and she said she would be happy to help me with my issue after she finished her work. I lost my debit card and realized I probably forgot to get it out of an ATM machine back in Kunming. First she called the ICBC bank and got the number of the bank that I lost my card at. Then, the next day, she called and confrimed that they had my card and she found out the bank address and working hours, so I could go back and get it. She also guided me to how I could get snacks for my big Tiger Leaping Gorge hike. She was amazing. Secondly, Deft, one of the Concierge staff, helped me find a private taxi driver to stay with me the whole day and drive me from the Intercontinental Hotel in Lijiang to the Tiger Leaping Gorge trailhead, then meet me at Tina's Guesthouse, then drive me to my hotel in Shangri La. Deft formed a WeChat group with him, the criver, and myself after arranging the car date and time and explaining to the driver where I wanted to be dropped off and then picked up. The driver he found was experienced with the Tiger Leaping Gorge trailheads and also spoke English enough to help me all day. Deft also met me the next morning when I met the driver and facilitated an easy pickup. It was amazing service that the hotel provided.”

    “The service is top notch. The front desk and the concierge would do everything to make sure your stay is pleasant and convenient. Special thanks to Nancy who booked wild mushroom peaking experience for us which was the high light of the trip. The location can not be better. You can see the famous snow mountain from the lobby. It’s also situated by the edge of lijiang ancient town, also has 2 gates lead to inside of the ancient town as well, it’s super convenient. It’s like an oasis in the middle of a buzzing city. The whole resort and the rooms are exquisitely designed. The beautiful site itself worth to spend sometime to walk around.”

  • Family friendly and luxury hotel

    “Amazing location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Simon who was already in contact with me 1 month before my stay to ensure everything is ready when we arrived. Very attentive.”

  • In meinen Augen beste Option für Lijiang wer keine Kompromisse beim hohen Standard machen möchte.

    “Grosses Zimmer im ersten Stock mit direktem Blick auf den Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Grosse ruhige Hotelanlage in der man trotz der unmittelbaren Nähe zur touristischen Altstadt Ruhe geniessen kann. Eigener gesicherter Hinterausgang des Hotels mit direktem Zugang zur Altstadt. Grosses reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet was sowohl lokale Spezialitäten anbietet wie die Yunnan Small Pot Rice Noodles, als auch westliche Optionen.”

  • Gerne wieder !
