Luxury Hotels in Yangshuo

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Yangshuo Sugar House. The whole place feels magical, surrounded by nature, with rabbits and ducks roaming around, fresh air, and beautiful architecture. The restaurant is outstanding; the food was delicious and the breakfast buffet was excellent. They also offer tours and helped us book tickets for local activities. A special thanks to Olivia, who was always available and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. This hotel truly feels like a dream. Highly recommended."

"My recent stay at Banyan Tree Yangshuo, Guilin was absolutely breathtaking! Nestled on the picturesque banks of the Li River, every window here frames a living ink wash painting. Waking up to birdsong, I'd open the window to reveal the karst peaks shrouded in morning mist – it truly felt like stepping into a fairyland from a Tang Dynasty poem.🌿 The River View Villas offer stunning vistas of the Li River right from your room. The interior design seamlessly blends Zhuang ethnic charm with modern luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows by the bathtub even let you soak while watching the sunset, with every detail thoughtfully reflecting Oriental aesthetics. The daily sunset ritual was incredibly therapeutic; watching the golden hour light up the river surface, paired with a handcrafted cocktail, all my worries melted away instantly. ~ The culinary experience was another delightful surprise! The Li River Beer Fish at Baiyun Chinese Restaurant was absolutely divine, and the afternoon tea at Camphor Lounge, paired with handmade osmanthus cake, offered an authentic taste of Guangxi in every bite. The most memorable, however, was the Li River bamboo raft afternoon tea – gently floating amidst the stunning landscape, every snapshot taken turned out picture-perfect 📸. The service team truly sets the gold standard. Our butler, Emily, was incredibly thoughtful and responsive. Her professional, efficient, and highly proactive service was a definite highlight of our stay, thoroughly demonstrating the hotel's first-class service standards. Upon departure, we received a handmade hydrangea souvenir, and even as our car drove away, staff members were still waving goodbye in the distance… Such attention to detail confirmed for me that Banyan Tree is more than just a hotel; it's a spiritual sanctuary worth returning to. I'm already eagerly planning my next trip back to the Li River!"

"This place is impeccable: 1. Our concierge literally responded in less than 5 minutes EVERY TIME. Whenever we need to go somewhere, they called a cart for us almost immediately. They also responded to other nuances quickly, such as hot water, WiFi, everyday issues. 2. The breakfast and afternoon tea are amazing. Everything is FRESHLY made, not pre-packaged food. We, a bunch of 20+’s, fell in love with their chips and fried fish. The fried fish is so good! 3. What really impressed us was that we left an AirPod in the room - they informed us almost immediately before we left. Very honest and attentive people! 4. When we left, the rain was pouring - they were really helpful on loading the luggages, even in very heavy rain to our car. Even with such impeccable services, they never came to bother us “give us a good review on the platform”. So I can assume all reviews here are very honest. Not to mention the beautiful views and the clean pools. We’d definitely come back again!"

"Experienced exceptional service and hospitality. On top of that the room is huge and spacious and has the best views. It was just nice to spend time relaxing in the room. The location is a little out of the way but they provide free shuttle service to the main bustling area which made it convenient. Personally I like it away from all the hustle bustle. Wish the pools are heated so that we can enjoy a dip. The exterior and photo places have quite abit of maintenance work required. But overall is worthwhile to stay here"

"This hotel is absolutely stunning, it feels like an attraction in itself! Our window overlooked the mountains and the 'Impression Sanjie Liu' statue, and I'm sure it would be even more beautiful during lotus season. The hotel gave us a free upgrade to a very spacious room, and the butler was super responsive and quick with service. They also offer complimentary shuttle service to West Street and Jima Wharf. I highly recommend adding the butler on WeChat before you arrive; they helped us book boat tickets from Guilin to Yangshuo and tickets for the Sanjie Liu show, which really saved us a lot of hassle. Our family of four was extremely satisfied with this hotel!"

"Staying in Yangshuo's Ten-Mile Gallery, I booked this hotel and had a fantastic overall experience! I reserved a mountain-view king room, and opening the window to see the mountains really gave me the feeling of being nestled among them. There's also a kids' play area that could keep my child entertained all day. The bed was super soft and incredibly comfortable for sleeping! The hotel is conveniently located near the Ten-Mile Gallery, Romance Park, Impression Liu Sanjie, and the bamboo raft pier. Highly recommended!"

"Excellent hotel - location, pool and service! On arrival the lovely lady on reception advised us the room we had booked was probably not best for a family and changed our booking to a more suitable one. The new room was excellent and this moment of great customer service really had a positive impact on us. The hotel is in a brilliant location just on the edge of the very busy downtown/Xi Jie area, but still with plenty of restaurants, shops, ebike hire, etc. right outside the door. and only a very short walk to Xi Jie. It’s also on the river with lovely views of the river and mountains, especially from the pool area. We loved the pool area… gorgeous setting, big enough for fun and proper swimming and a sanctuary from the hustle, bustle and heat of Yangshou. After a days exploring it was a lovely thing to come back to for all the family."

"Seriously, who knew?! I found a real-life 'Shangri-La' guesthouse in Yangshuo! Step out onto the balcony and you're greeted by layers of green mountains and the emerald Yulong River. Opened in 2022, the facilities are brand new, it's family-friendly, and incredibly photogenic 📸[selfie]! ✔️ **Guesthouse Highlights** * Ranked No. 6 among boutique guesthouses in Yangshuo, with an amazing 4.8-star reputation. * Rooms feature huge balconies, offering stunning river views right from your bed. * With a lawn, tents, and a mini soccer field, it feels like staying in a forest park. * There are even small animals, making it perfect for kids! [yum][party] * Super photogenic! The bamboo groves, lawns, and mountain views make for instant wallpaper-worthy shots. ✔️ **Must-Try: Yulong River Bamboo Rafting** The guesthouse is right next to the Ten-Mile Gallery and Yulong River, just a short walk or taxi ride away. Choose the Jinlong Bridge - Jiuxian section (approx. 1.5 hours), which is the most scenic 'manually poled' part of the Yulong River. Drift leisurely on a bamboo raft, with the karst peaks of Guilin's landscape lining both banks. The poler will guide you slowly and can even help take panoramic photos (remember to prepare a small tip~). When you reach calmer waters, you can dip your feet in – super refreshing in summer! **Tips**: Book your bamboo raft 1-2 days in advance through official channels, and try to avoid the midday sun. 📍 **Location**: No. 23 Zhuduozhai Ecological Village, Yangshuo, super close to the Yulong River Rafting Pier.
