Kunming Hotels with Bars

"First off, this hotel truly shone in every aspect when I first arrived. However, the room I was given was right next to a KTV, and people were singing until the early hours of the morning, which made it impossible to sleep. I complained to the front desk multiple times, but nothing was resolved. The next day, when checking out, the front desk just offered an apology and said a manager would call me back, which never happened. They really should set operating hours for the KTV!!! I couldn't sleep at night, and then at 4 AM, I was woken up by the sound of suitcases being dragged around. All in all, I only got three hours of sleep during a very exhausting night. I'm incredibly frustrated."

"The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was spotlessly clean. My only minor issue was that the hot water wasn't very plentiful, so showers were a bit chilly. However, all other facilities and the overall environment were excellent, with a high level of smart technology. Plus, there's a lovely terrace on the second floor."

"The Four Points by Sheraton Kunming City Center is actually brand new, having just opened in May 2025. However, the building itself has a history, as it was previously the New Era Hotel, a landmark in downtown Kunming. After facing business difficulties and closing down, it was taken over and divided between Atour and Four Points by Sheraton. Four Points by Sheraton occupies the higher floors, with Atour taking the lower ones. Its location is truly in the heart of the city, bustling and vibrant, much like Beijing Road in Guangzhou. Large shopping malls like Kunming Department Store and Wangfujing are all nearby. The entire street is a lively pedestrian zone, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. You'll spot it easily when you enter from Nantong Street. Upon entering, the reception counter is to your right, and a spacious lobby lounge with sofas is to your left. It's a great spot to wait if, for example, your car hasn't arrived yet. After checking in, taking the elevator to the eighth floor brings you to the amenity level. This includes a well-equipped gym, a bar, and the breakfast area. The bar opens to the public in the evenings, with mostly sofa seating that's nicely partitioned for privacy and comfort. The drinks are also reasonably priced; a cocktail costs just 58 yuan. That evening, I had a whiskey sour, and for 58 yuan, it was perfectly acceptable. It's a good complementary feature for a hotel bar. Moving on to the room, you'll find complimentary welcome fruit on the table. To the left of the entrance is the bathroom, complete with a toilet and shower. The room itself is quite spacious with a long layout and a single king-size bed. At the far end, there's a very comfortable armchair with a high back, not a sofa, where you can sit and overlook Nanping Plaza, taking in the entire Kunming city center. Next to it is a desk directly facing the window, perfect for gazing out when you need a break. This entire hotel is a renovated property, with comprehensive and well-appointed public facilities, contributing to a more comfortable stay. When I booked my room on Ctrip, I noticed it was listed as a five-star hotel. However, in my understanding, a hotel without a swimming pool is typically considered four-star. Still, you can usually book a room here for around 400-500 yuan. Overall, the hotel's location is truly excellent. The advantage of being downtown is convenience for everything, but the biggest drawback is potential traffic congestion. For tourists, however, this place is unbeatable. The pedestrian street right below offers evening strolls, snacks, and easy access to various attractions."

"A Stay at Kunming Green Lake Hotel: Elegance and Warmth of a Classic Establishment My stay at Kunming Green Lake Hotel completely shattered my stereotypes about 'classic hotels', and its prime location truly made the experience exceptional. The hotel is directly opposite Green Lake Park, so just a few steps from the entrance, you can enjoy stunning lake views and observe migratory birds. This makes it incredibly convenient for a morning walk or an evening stroll. The location is simply unbeatable. Despite its age, the hotel is exceptionally well-maintained, lacking any sense of being old-fashioned or gloomy. Both the public areas and rooms are spotlessly clean and tidy, with an air of sophistication evident throughout. The service was a delightful surprise; from check-in to handling daily requests, everything was handled with exceptional thoughtfulness. The staff were warm, professional, and their attention to detail truly showed they cared. The rooms are tastefully decorated, not with flashy designs, but with a refined and understated elegance. Paired with high-quality amenities, the overall atmosphere was both comfortable and cozy, making for a truly relaxing stay. I would certainly choose to stay here again on my next trip to Kunming."

"Novotel Kunming is an unexpectedly great hotel, which is very centrally located. The check-in was highly professional. The room was clean, completely automated, with robot service, and quite beautiful. Fruits are served daily. The facility on the other hand is what makes it truly stand out. It has two floors of gym and a very large swimming pool. This contrasts with other typical hotels in China, which don't usually pay attention to the gym (which is a huge mistake because foreigners like me typically love gyms). The equipments in both the gym and the pool were both very complete. The breakfast was also unexpected great, with plenty of options which changed during my stay. Next to the hotel are several nice restaurants. The cloth washing service was free of charge and performed by some very high quality washers/dryers. On the other hand, there were quite a few smokers in the hotel. There were people smoking in the gym and even during breakfast (the space was highly enclosed, which makes it jarring). If the hotel can curb down the smoking issue, then it would truly be perfect. You should book here for fast access to the train station (about 20 minutes), to Dian lake (20 minutes), Xishan area (20 minutes) and I'm sure other interesting others. Shilin park is a bit far away from this hotel's location, however. Attached are photos from outside of my hotel."

"A hidden gem of a hotel by Dianchi Lake! The rooms are spacious and spotless, the bedding is comfortable, and the breakfast is astonishingly rich – the cured ham pastries are a must-try. The service is attentive and thoughtful, with efficient concierge and warm housekeeping. It's within walking distance to Dianchi Lake, and the garden-style setting is tranquil and delightful. A five-star experience, truly living up to its reputation! A heavenly hotel by Dianchi Lake! The location is absolutely perfect, with stunning lake views right outside the window, and lush garden greenery. The room facilities are complete, clean, and odor-free, and the service is warm and professional. The dining experience is fantastic, making it ideal for both leisure and business travel. My top choice for a stay in Kunming!"

"The hotel's location is excellent; the subway station is just 300 meters away, and there are plenty of dining and drinking options nearby. The hotel itself has a great vibe, with a popular rooftop terrace that offers free coffee and milk. The room decor is also very stylish, perfect for trendsetters and a modern clientele."

"## Facilities & Location The location is incredibly convenient. Taxis are quick to hail, and I personally timed the walk to Kunming Old Street at around 15 minutes. Both the airport and Dianchi Lake are about a 30-minute taxi ride away. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby. ## Service Service was great. Breakfast was prepared very quickly, and the rice noodles were delicious. ## Cleanliness The room was spotlessly clean. I especially enjoyed the black tea provided in the room; it was really good."

"The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. The location is excellent, with food, drinks, and shopping right downstairs. There's also a night market and local eateries nearby, which gives it a very authentic feel. The front desk staff were beautiful, generous, polite, and enthusiastic."

"Location: Easy to find, with a large parking lot. The hotel even offers pick-up and drop-off service to the parking lot. Cleanliness: Clean, tidy, bright, and comfortable. Value for money: Even during holidays, the prices offer excellent value because the service is superb, making for a fantastic stay. WiFi: Convenient. Room size: Quite spacious, we liked it a lot. The bathroom's ventilation could be improved, though, to prevent odors. Soundproofing: We didn't hear much noise, but the main door closing can be quite loud, which might disturb other guests. Room facilities: Very new. The whole room felt fresh and tidy, with no signs of aging facilities. The TV and sound system also provided a good experience. Bed: Large bed with excellent mattress support. Parking: Convenient, plenty of spaces. There's a security guard at the intersection who provides helpful directions. Service: Outstanding!!! Upon checking in, there were complimentary snacks and tea. The freshly baked flower cakes, made without added sugar, were a thoughtful touch. We could choose different scented shower sets. The reception staff were very polite, patient, enthusiastic, proactive in helping, and very professional!!! The service deserves more than five stars!!! Welcome fruit: Local fruits, very fresh. Goodnight sweet soup: Very thoughtful and exquisite!"
