Kui Ran adheres to the philosophy of "Let the mountains return to nature and people to their true selves", creating a place for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Located in the prime spot of Baisha Ancient Town, it takes only 3 minutes on foot to reach the bustling town, allowing guests to enjoy both the lively atmosphere and a peaceful retreat. Here, simply lie back and take in the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain, the dreamy sea of clouds, the vast wilderness, and the starry sky - each view a breathtaking masterpiece.
Kui Ran was renovated from a six-generation-old ancestral home of the Naxi and Japanese style, covering an area of over 3,000 square meters. It features two main buildings, two distinct inner courtyards, and an additional 2,000 square meters of outdoor space. The 160-year-old walnut tree in the courtyard is the soul of the place.
The hotel has 14 rooms, including 13 scenic rooms facing the snow-capped mountains and one century-old ancestral home family suite. Each room is equipped with Marshall speakers, Epson projectors, Hisense TVs, Atour zero-pressure memory pillows, Acca Kappa toiletries, Kohler showers, and Jomoo smart toilets to ensure a comfortable stay. A complimentary breakfast is delivered to the room, along with welcome fruits, a snack package, and a selection of coffee for afternoon tea, allowing guests to indulge their taste buds and embark on a journey back to nature.
We hope that all guests who stay at Kui Ran can shed their fatigue and embark on a journey back to nature.
"🏠 Stayed at the hotel of a lifetime in Lijiang!
The butler service was truly exceptional: a chat group was set up before my arrival, complete with a detailed check-in guide, and a dedicated pick-up was arranged upon landing. Upon reaching the hotel, I was greeted with welcome fruits and desserts 🧁. There were daily snacks, unlimited coffee (the beans were incredibly fragrant, a dream for a coffee addict like me – I happily had three cups a day!), and a varied, generous breakfast delivered to the room before 9:30 AM if desired. After 7:30 PM, there was a bonfire party in the backyard with karaoke for singing along, and after 9 PM, a warm bedtime drink was offered. The butler was always online and ready to assist with any request [chuckle].
🌴 The hotel's ambiance is minimalist and forest-inspired. The first floor feels just like a coffee shop, and the wooden house and terrace on the third floor are perfect for photos. The most delightful surprise, however, is the backyard, which directly faces the snow-capped mountains 🏔️. In the morning, you can lie back and watch the 'golden mountain' sunrise. Simply sitting here, sipping coffee, even bad weather couldn't dampen my spirits. The bedding, especially the pillows, was the most comfortable I've ever experienced in any hotel 😭 (good bedding truly enhances the stay).
The location is away from the hustle and bustle but not isolated; it's just a 5-minute walk to Baisha Ancient Town, my favorite uncommercialized and authentic ancient town in Lijiang. No need for a 'special forces' itinerary, just pure relaxation and tranquility!"
