Banyan Tree Lijiang

This is definitely the number one place to stay in Lijiang! We booked the Hot Spring Villa, which is over 300 square meters including the courtyard. Even though it's been open for almost 20 years, the layout of the living room, bedroom, and bathroom is well-designed and impeccably maintained. You can even enjoy the stunning view of the 'Golden Mountain' at sunrise right from your bed, which is fantastic. The hotel feels like a large park with an elegant environment. Despite having many guests, it maintains excellent peace and privacy. I thought the afternoon tea would just be about the ambiance, but to my surprise, both the savory and sweet treats were delicious. The dishes at the Baiyun Chinese Restaurant were also very tasty, especially the cured pork ribs and vegetable soup, and the steamed snow mountain fish – they were exceptionally good. The service quality of this established resort hotel is truly excellent. Our butler, Domi Li, was attentive and proactive, promptly responding to and handling our requests, making us feel right at home. Our three-day, two-night stay was very pleasant and satisfying.

Great! The room layout is well-designed. Our butler, Abby Hu, was very enthusiastic, and the breakfast was good too.

Extremely satisfied and beyond expectations! The hotel upgraded us to a pool villa since a room was available. The central area of the hotel has stunning views, and after watching the sunrise illuminate the snow-capped mountains, we headed straight to the scenic restaurant next door for breakfast. We had butler service throughout our stay, and Domi was incredibly attentive from morning till night. Many thanks!

Everything was absolutely perfect; they really went above and beyond to accommodate every request. The environment is also fantastic, and you can even see the 'sun-kissed golden mountains' right from your bed. I'll definitely bring my family here again next time. Special shout-out to Frank Wang, a very polite and enthusiastic young man!

Would my photos convince you to stay at Banyan Tree Lijiang? Imagine having exclusive views of the snow-capped mountains – what worries could you possibly have then? **Service:** Banyan Tree's quality and service are always exceptional. I've stayed at their properties a few times, and the butler service is consistently thoughtful. This time, after running a marathon in Kunming, I came to Lijiang to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our butler, Alice, contacted me in advance. Because I'd requested a room with a great view, she upgraded us to a balcony view room. The moment I walked in, I felt that enduring severe altitude sickness was completely worth it. Alice's service was truly outstanding. My husband's ***** birthday was actually the next day, but Alice still delivered a birthday cake to the room, a double surprise! The other hotel staff were also excellent. The buggy service staff were very helpful, always assisting with luggage and incredibly enthusiastic. **Environment:** The hotel features a three-tiered courtyard style, directly facing the snow-capped mountains. Lijiang in winter has its own unique charm. It's only 700 meters from Shuhe Ancient Town, which is super convenient. While Lijiang Ancient Town is famous, Shuhe Ancient Town feels less commercialized and still retains some historical charm.
