No. 1 of Luxury Hotels in Dali City
Dream Island • Huo Mountain is a resort hotel that has grown from the red land, embodying the aesthetics of life, local culture, art, and architectural design. It is also a time vessel, the result of 12 years of dedication by its architect and owner, Baxun.
Dream Island began in 2020 as a small-scale hotel next to the Erhai Lake, with just 7 rooms. In 2021, Dream Island • Huo Mountain briefly emerged with 9 rooms. After four years of reconstruction, it has now evolved into a vacation paradise rooted in the soul of the land, offering 23 rooms.
This is not a cold, luxurious space, but rather an experiment in cultural awakening, artistic appreciation, and life healing.
"This hotel was a great choice for our multi-week road trip, even if the drive up the mountain was indeed challenging, it was worth it. The design, quality, service, and dining were all excellent in every aspect. The attention to detail was exceptional, surpassing even some international luxury brands. To have such thoughtful and delicious food in a mountain setting like this is truly rare. It's also clear that the local staff are very well-trained.
A few small suggestions: Personally, even for a secluded, getaway-style hotel, not having a TV in the room can be a bit boring. You could have one – whether guests watch it or not, at least they'd have the option (perhaps for casting). I hope that next time we visit, the road will be improved, and mosquito screens will be installed in the rooms so we can confidently open the windows and enjoy the mountain air. Because we love it, we hope it becomes even more perfect."

"I always give honest reviews, and I've stayed at many luxury brands before. Indigo is IHG's trendy, modern brand, comparable to W Hotels.
The Indigo in Erhai is excellent. You open the window and there's Erhai Lake right there; it feels like you're floating on the lake even when you're in bed. That's an unbeatable feature.
The service was fantastic. We happened to arrive at 9 AM with two rooms booked, and the hotel managed to get one of them ready for us right away, which is quite rare. At check-out, because we had a late flight, the hotel kindly extended our check-out time to 4:30 PM. I was truly touched.
Since it was summer, breakfast was very busy, and after 9 AM, there was a queue, which is normal. However, upon entering, I saw the supervisor and staff genuinely hustling to speed things up, unlike the lazy attitudes you often encounter at many hotels. Guests can definitely feel that kind of dedication to service.
The location is also very convenient, in the Xiaguan urban area, right next to Erhai Park. During peak season in Dali, getting a taxi can be chaotic and slow, so comfortably waiting for a ride on the first floor of the hotel, enjoying the breeze, was a really pleasant experience."

Hotel near Dali Ancient City,Dali City
Dali Taoxi Mengdie Secret Manor，Nurtured by the exquisite landscapes of Cangshan’s Peach Stream, it is an upscale resort manor integrating life aesthetics, local culture and natural healing. Crafted by the owner over more than a decade alongside one of the Eighteen Streams of Cangshan, it stands as a vessel of time and a spiritual sanctuary.
"Zhuangzi Dreamed of Butterflies; dwell in the Peach Blossom Land. Here you reclaim the poetry and freedom between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake."
Polished through years of refinement, it has evolved from an original secluded mountain retreat into an exclusive hideaway that embraces traditional Chinese culture and local spirit, blending wild luxury with private hot springs. Every corner of the estate is bathed in the breeze of Cangshan, the moonlight of Erhai Lake, and the earthly poetic charm of Dali.
This is no sterile luxury hotel, but an immersive local experience centered on natural healing, cultural immersion and spiritual awakening. Rise early for a hike into Cangshan Mountain, listen to the gurgling Peach Stream, and watch sea of clouds drift over pine forests. Spend the afternoon sipping authentic Dali tea in the Zen courtyard, as sunlight and shadow linger upon Bai ethnic wood carvings. At night, fall asleep to mountain breezes, with a sky full of stars twinkling overhead.
Tucked away in lush gardens, our guest rooms infuse Bai ethnic intangible cultural heritage, local art, yoga meditation and natural healing into every moment of your stay. Every guest may cast aside weariness amid mountains and rivers, find inner peace in cultural nourishment, and reconnect with oneself through healing serenity.
At Taoxi Mengdie, what you encounter is far more than a manor—it is the most authentic way of life in Dali. With Cangshan as your backdrop and the Three Pagodas as your mirror, mountains and rivers as your neighbors and poetry as your constant companion, this is an ideal abode where everyday life turns into a poem.
"We booked the private manor villa come with private bath pool and private courtyard. However both private pool and courtyard are surprisingly disappointed. The pool was dirty, moldy, there was just left over water inside maybe by the rain, it had a greyish , murky appearance instead of being clean and inviting. When we questioned the butler he then said if you wanted to use we can clean it up.
One of the main reasons we paid extra to book this room was for the private pool, it’s frustrating and disappointing that it was not in a condition we felt comfortable using. Ended up we didn’t use it despite staying for 3 nights.
The courtyard was poorly maintained and look neglected as well. As you can see all cushion was exposed under the rain and when sun comes out it dried it which caused the cushion get mold and stains.
Service overall not bad and helpful. The only incident was when during check in, my wife asked one of the receptionist politely if they could help me make a booking as the place need call to book. We do not have China number , line that can call or app to book. The lady that was serving us was hesitant to book for me and initially told us to book online ourselves until my wife highlighted the reason to her again.
Public place is well maintained, location is good. Walkable distance to ancient town. Also nearby to few other must visit spots.
Overall decent but won’t be coming back."

"I wholeheartedly recommend the Hilton Dali, my stay this time was absolutely delightful from start to finish!
The front desk staff were incredibly gentle and patient, explaining everything in detail and actively helping to coordinate any requests I had. Their service really impressed me.
What truly surprised me was the hotel's intangible cultural heritage 'Jia Ma' printing experience, where the staff patiently guided us through the process.
I booked a standard room, not an executive one, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that the executive lounge offers à la carte options – that's a huge plus! The view from the 9th-floor lounge is absolutely stunning. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of the entire Erhai Lake, with Cangshan Mountain, the villages, and the lake all visible. The atmosphere at sunset is just magical. If you visit Dali, you absolutely must make time to sit there for a while, feel the breeze, and take in the mountains and the sea – it's incredibly therapeutic and washes away all fatigue.
Overall, both the service and the unique experiences were top-notch. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Dali!"

"A truly perfect trip!
Here, I enjoyed sunny weather, stunning Erhai Lake views, and a fantastic large balcony. The room layout, including the full-length mirror, was exceptionally beautiful. What sets this hotel apart from others in Ideal State is its deep commitment to the Santorini, Greece-style design. While some other places might only have an exterior that fits the theme, with very ordinary interiors, this hotel extends that Greek Santorini vibe to both its facade and inside the rooms. You can even watch the sunset from bed! And the next morning, with a bit of luck, I captured some amazing 'blue hour' photos. The butler and hotel service were incredibly attentive; basically, anything I needed, the butler would take care of. The afternoon tea, with ginger-syrup drizzled waffles and other delicious treats, was also perfectly to my liking.
Actually, I fell in love with this room when I first saw the hotel six months ago (yes, I even preferred it over others with pools!). So, I saved up and finally came today, half a year later. What can I say? I feel incredibly lucky. The weather forecast had predicted cloudy and rainy days for Dali, but the moment I arrived, it cleared up and stayed sunny until I checked out. Plus, it wasn't too crowded when I visited (it might be peak season later on).
In short, I highly recommend it! If you're planning a trip to Ideal State, definitely come to this hotel and stay in this room!"

The facilities are incredibly comprehensive: a book bar, a regular bar, a sports hall, a restaurant, and a gym (with tons of equipment, which I, as someone who works out daily, absolutely loved!).

"The hotel is spotless and incredibly quiet and comfortable. The service was absolutely outstanding! Every staff member was dedicated and super friendly to guests.

The breakfast was delicious, and room service was very efficient. I highly, highly recommend this place. Before we left, they even gave a small gift to my child. Seriously, I can't recommend this quality hotel enough; it's truly trustworthy."

"The location is about a 10-minute drive from the ancient city, and it's very quiet. The room is spacious, and each double bed is big enough for two people. You can see Erhai Lake from the balcony, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer.
Overall, the room is quite clean, though the facilities aren't brand new. The shower water temperature is stable, but the toilet has a slight odor, and the air conditioning seems to adjust temperature quite slowly.
Food delivery can be brought directly to the room door, which is very convenient. The staff's service attitude is excellent."
