Luxury Hotels in Yulong

"On the flight back to Beijing from Lijiang, I'm already eager to share my travel experience at Hylla. To sum it up in one sentence: it's worth coming to Lijiang just for Hylla. 1. First and foremost, the hotel's staff is exceptional. Every room has a dedicated butler, and Mr. Xie Wei, who assisted us, was incredibly responsive, fulfilling almost every request and perfectly balancing attentiveness with discretion – appearing when needed and staying out of sight when not. Miss Hairuo from Jilu Cafe exuded passion for her work. And Tom, the young man with glasses who served our dinner for two consecutive evenings, was tirelessly attentive throughout the meal. Spending time with this team each day felt like a breath of fresh air. 2. The public areas are truly unparalleled. Beyond the architecture, the hotel's gardening is of a very high standard – not uniformly manicured, but a modern yet natural 'wild garden.' It's far more than just the 'lonely tree' area representing 'poetry and distant lands.' Jilu Cafe, the Red House Shop, Building 7's handicraft workshop, Guru Healing Space, and the 200-acre back mountain forest, numerous common living rooms, and countless flowers and plants all deserve to be savored. My favorite is the cafe; its design concept is fascinating, built around an ancient apricot tree. It's bright, natural, and lush with greenery, extending right to the edge of the forest – a truly 'living cafe.' 3. The dining is top-tier among Lijiang hotels. The room rate includes breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is served until 11 am (and even later when there are more guests). Both the à la carte live cooking stations and the buffet items are of high quality, offering a rich variety of local snacks. Dinner is a set menu, with the butler sending the day's selections in advance. The menu changes daily and includes soup, cold dishes, main courses, hotpot, and dessert. So, if you wake up late, you can easily have two meals a day at the hotel without spending an extra dime outside. Additionally, Jilu Cafe offers both Chinese and Western afternoon teas, which are quite aesthetically pleasing. Finally, this trip was to fulfill my partner's wish to celebrate a birthday under the snow-capped mountains. When I told Mr. Xie Wei, he and his colleagues perfectly made that wish come true. The whole process was simple, romantic, and flawless. Hylla rooms do not have televisions; instead, four large windows face either Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or Baisha Old Town. There are no bustling activities in the evening; instead, you get the crisp mountain breeze under the snow mountain and the sound of birds chirping in the morning. It's destined to be niche, but it truly stands out."

"The room faces the snow-capped mountains directly, so it's very comfortable to lie down and enjoy the view. It's especially pleasant to sit on the balcony when it rains. The配套 services deserve full marks. The front desk concierge was very thoughtful, promptly arranging and responding to our daily meals and activities. I particularly loved the hotel's goodnight milk, which was very fragrant. The hotpot in the set meal was also delicious and quite substantial. The fruit platter was always generously stocked. Finally, I have to give a special shout-out to the airport pickup driver. He's an excellent driver and a very gentle person. The hotel's environment and location are both great, and the service truly made us feel at home :)"

"Good: 1. The hotel is in a very secluded and quiet location, perfect for relaxation. 2. The room faces the snow-capped mountains directly; you can see them right from your bed. 3. The food at the Chinese restaurant was excellent; I ended up eating all my meals there and didn't even leave the hotel. 4. The complimentary travel photoshoot was great; the makeup and styling were done with care, and the photographer guided me through poses throughout. They treated both paying and non-paying customers with the same excellent attitude, with no forced consumption. 5. The amenities were truly abundant: toiletries, snacks, fruit, sleep aids, a cloth bag – they had everything, which was really nice. 6. The scenery is superb. 7. The airport transfer car was clean and odor-free. Bad: 1. Late check-out wasn't possible, which made packing a rush. And with the altitude sickness, it felt like a battle. What kind of resort hotel has a strict 12 PM check-out? It’s a place for relaxation, and many people sleep in until 11 AM. Personally, I think they could consider a 1 PM check-out, with check-in after 3 PM. 2. During my stay, I witnessed a conflict from a third-person perspective. Essentially, two dogs were fighting, and a parent who tried to break it up got scratched and bled. I felt the hotel was trying to appease both sides. Personally, I believe the family whose dog wasn't on a leash should be held responsible. They could have even called the police; in situations with clear laws and regulations, they could have been firmer. (I own a dog myself, and I would never let my dog off-leash in public areas.) 3. It's not very friendly for seniors. The hotel is built into the mountain, so there are stairs everywhere, both indoors and outdoors, which is tough when you're already dealing with altitude sickness, haha. Also, the坡 leading up to the hotel lobby entrance is incredibly slippery. It looks rough and not slippery, but it’s actually very slick (even my hiking boots slipped). (So the two 4.5 ratings are because of these three points.)"

"The hotel was very clean and tidy. The bathtub had a disposable liner, and the lady at the front desk even thoughtfully helped put it on. The breakfast selection was rich and delicious. There are some 'hidden' amenities like humidifiers, buckwheat pillows, and latex pillows that you need to request from the front desk. The hotel's mini-mart is open from 3 PM to 12 AM. I realized my socks were in another suitcase that was already shipped off, so a special thanks to Ella Yang at the front desk for giving me two new pairs of socks. The service was warm and attentive."

"An unexpected delightful stay! The service was incredibly warm and friendly, I'll definitely be back! Service: The front desk and staff were all super welcoming, always smiling, and went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. We truly felt at home. Food & Dining: The food was excellent, both for dinner and breakfast. Authentic flavors and quality ingredients – we were very satisfied. Special Features: The hotel has its own small ranch where you can get up close with little animals, which was very therapeutic. I especially recommend the butter tea experience class; the instructor was engaging and fun, and making our own butter tea was a unique and enjoyable process. Overall, this is a hotel with both warmth and character, perfect for anyone who wants to experience local culture deeply while also valuing excellent service. Next time I visit, I will definitely choose this place again! 👍"

"The entire hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are incredibly spacious with large windows offering great views. The room amenities are also very comfortable, especially the electric smart toilet, which is super convenient. The hotel's location is excellent too; it's right across from Lijiang Railway Station, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It's also a short taxi ride to the Old Town. Given such great value for money and being a Wyndham brand hotel, I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit."

"This was my second stay here, about a year and a half after my first visit. The hotel has undergone significant upgrades, which shows their dedication. I was even given a complimentary room upgrade this time, which I really appreciate. The meals and afternoon tea exceeded my expectations, and they thoughtfully stored them in the fridge to keep them fresh – truly exceptional and great value for money. The room's view was absolutely stunning; I could lie in bed and enjoy the 'Golden Mountain' sunrise."

"The hotel is located in Wenhai Village, offering unparalleled views of the snow-capped mountains and Wenhai Lake. Its facilities are comprehensive and varied, and the scenery is simply breathtaking. The cleanliness is exceptional; the bedding is spotless, and even the in-room amenities like the lip balm are of high quality and show great attention to detail. The environment is incredibly beautiful, with stunning views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. However, the service is truly the most commendable aspect. All the staff are incredibly enthusiastic and genuinely helpful. From the driver who took us up the mountain to the lovely hotel attendants and the guide who helped us with horse riding and photos, everyone was patient and provided warm, memorable service. The bonfire party was particularly impressive, featuring talented (and attractive!) staff, and even the dogs were adorable!"

"Came to Lijiang Club Med for a relaxing Spring Break with the kids. The all-inclusive resort is perfect for families! There are so many activities, and I highly recommend stargazing. The staff at the observatory were really responsible, patiently explaining things to the children in great detail. The hotel service was excellent; every GO (Gentle Organizer) we encountered on the grounds greeted us warmly. On our first night, my child came down with a fever and cough. I used my Huawei watch to check their blood oxygen, which was low, indicating potential altitude sickness. During check-in, I connected with a staff member named Yuliaaa (apologies, I didn't see her nametag, but that's her WeChat name – she's a kind and beautiful young lady!). When she learned my child was unwell, she helped us call a nurse to check their blood oxygen. Thankfully, it was within the normal range. My child had a fever and needed a lot of water, so she sent up extra water and even brought us breakfast. It was incredibly thoughtful, and as a mom, I'm very grateful. Since my little one was sick, we couldn't make it to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Guess we'll have to leave that for our next visit!"

"Staying at this guesthouse at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was truly a healing and surprising journey. The location is superb; opening the window reveals the majestic snow-capped mountains, offering an unobstructed and expansive view. There’s no need to rush out early; you can simply wait in your room for the 'Golden Mountain in Sunlight' phenomenon. When the first ray of golden light bathes the snow-capped peak, and the entire mountain range is painted a warm gold, the awe and romance of that moment are unforgettable. The room was clean and tidy, with simple yet locally-inspired decor, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a sound sleep even at high altitude. The owner was warm and attentive, providing careful guidance from check-in to high-altitude precautions, and even thoughtfully prepared hot tea and snacks. The courtyard environment is tranquil, perfect for relaxing, daydreaming, or taking beautiful photos, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Getting around is convenient, as it's close to attractions, saving a lot of travel time. Whether it's for admiring the snow mountains, watching the sunrise, or experiencing a slower pace of life, this place is absolutely perfect. With high value for money, warm service, and breathtaking scenery, it's an ideal place to stay when visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit and highly recommend it to anyone who yearns for snow mountains and the 'Golden Mountain in Sunlight'."
