[2025 Xinyuan Stay] Travel Guide for HOTEL INDIGO NALATI (Updated Jun)

Nalati Indigo | First-hand Experience at Xinjiang's Ultimate Luxury Hotel ||| Finally stayed at Yili's top-tier hotel - The stunning Indigo Hotel. As one of the first guests, I can't wait to share my experience! Perfect Location Built right at the entrance of Nalati Scenic Area! Open the curtains to see grasslands and snow-capped mountains! Plenty of dining and shopping options nearby! Walk straight into the scenic area - online tickets are valid for 48 hours, allowing two consecutive mornings of queue-free, tour-group-free access! Experiencing Nalati without crowds is absolutely perfect! After lunch, take a nap at the hotel and return to the scenic area for photos when it cools down - so convenient! Spacious Rooms The Kazakh nomadic-inspired design is incredibly sophisticated! Thoughtful details everywhere - I loved the leather pendant lights, table lamps, tissue boxes, and minibar! Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views from bed! With a capsule coffee machine, fridge stocked with local juices and Wusu beer, sipping drinks on the balcony with friends while listening to the Gongnaisi River and admiring Nalati's core scenery was pure bliss! Traveling is so much better with great hotels! Amazing Experience The rain shower made me feel like a monkey enjoying a tropical downpour - pure freedom! After hiking all day, soaking in the huge bathtub with provided bath salts soothed my aching calves! Anyone who's traveled to Yili knows how precious a good bath is in local accommodations! The hotel features Kazakh-inspired design with restaurants, bars, and lobby lounge. Plus a gym and heated pool! Upon arrival, a handsome welcome team assisted with luggage - what a wow moment! The adorable front desk staff (who looked like dolls!) provided excellent service! About Pricing: At 2k during summer vacation, Indigo is a steal compared to nearby homestays! Xinjiang accommodation prices can be puzzling - with budget, I highly recommend staying here! (The Holiday Inn Express next door is also great at just 1k, while nearby farm stays cost 1k+) #Hotel #ResortHotel #NalatiIndigoHotel
