4-Star Hotels in Lijiang

Outstanding team at 一见云宽! Special thanks to 阿龙 for patiently introducing the Lijiang old town to us while walking us to the accommodations. He arranged for a 师傅to help us with the bags to and fro 一见云宽due to the cobblestone pathways in the old town. Initially, before our trip, I checked with him regarding the type of room we will get as there’s different layout for the room we booked (we didn’t want a room that’s facing another room) and 阿龙patiently sent us the photos of all the rooms and let us choose the one we wanted. During our stay, he and his team has been very welcoming, warm, helpful and patient with us - helping us handle our parcels, arrange for afternoon tea for us and also prepared a light breakfast including lemon cake, flower biscuit, chocolate and milk for us when we check out at 6am to go to jade dragon mountain - a gesture that we felt very touched as they even thought of the fact that we might need chocolate in case of high altitude sickness at the mountain. The 师傅who helped us with the bags even woke up early to meet us at 6am to help us carry our bags to the main road (10-15minutes walk away) and waited with us for our cab. I felt like I was taken care of like family. It was a wonderful stay for us. Many thanks to 阿龙,师傅and the rest of the team at 一见云宽for taking care of us! i

This B&B boasts an excellent location. Waking up and opening the door, you're greeted with panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains and the ancient town. Even the toiletries and tissues in the room are brand-name. Staying here means you can save on visiting other scenic cafes, as the B&B has its own coffee area, and the barista makes excellent coffee. What's more, the staff are all very warm and helpful; they assisted with luggage and offered many thoughtful tips, which put me completely at ease.

Nestled just off the main road at the entrance to Yuhu Village, Baolin Homestay surprisingly keeps a perfect distance from the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, you instantly grasp the true meaning of 'tranquility in the midst of noise': outside, you hear the clip-clop of horse hooves and the chatter of tourists, while inside, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant whisper of snow-capped mountains can be heard. Right outside is the village's main street, with cafes and restaurants just a few minutes' walk away. Turning right leads directly to the path down the mountain and open fields, incredibly convenient for hiking or horse riding. The courtyard layout is particularly delightful. We stayed in a private Loft-style courtyard, with a balcony on the first floor where two rattan chairs offer views of dark grey eaves and a patch of blue sky. The second floor features another small terrace with mountain views. The two levels are independent and offer excellent sound insulation. The room's decor combines raw wood and stone for a rustic feel, the bedding is soft, and the hot water is fast and consistent. The room rate includes a simple dinner for two, and the chef's cooking is excellent – a plate of local cured pork stir-fried with mushrooms, savory and imbued with a wild, earthy flavor; the stir-fried seasonal vegetables were crisp, tender, and sweet, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Breakfast was plentiful, with hot congee, rice noodles, and side dishes, setting a great mood for the day. The front desk lady is the heart and soul of this place. Meticulous, diligent, and thoughtful, she brought us a warm, sweet dessert soup every evening that warmed us to our fingertips. Her drinks are never perfunctory, whether it's freshly ground coffee or ginger-date milk tea, all made with genuine care. The three little cats are the lively treasures of the courtyard, bringing the whole place to life. Our three days at Baolin were not luxurious, but everything was perfectly arranged; not ostentatious, yet unforgettable. This stone-walled courtyard in Yuhu Village – it will gently embrace you with a warm meal, a comforting drink, and a quiet night.

Our family trip to Leman House Hotel far exceeded our expectations. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the North Gate Waterwheel of Lijiang Old Town, making it incredibly convenient to access the ancient city. At the same time, the courtyard environment is elegant and quiet, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets, which is perfect for resting and recuperating with children. The hotel features a children's play area with slides, building blocks, and a picture book corner, allowing kids to play and burn off energy to their heart's content. The family room type is spacious and comfortable, clean and tidy, and thoughtfully provides disposable face towels and bathrobes. There's plenty of living space, so it never feels cramped when moving around with children. The in-house dining offers mild and gentle flavors, very suitable for kids. The staff are warm and attentive, proactively helping with luggage and patiently recommending suitable tour routes. There's no need for long journeys; you can explore the ancient city right outside the door and return to a very tranquil hotel for rest. It's an excellent choice for families traveling with children in Lijiang.

I highly recommend staying at Yundu in Lijiang! This was by far the best accommodation of my entire trip. The room offered a direct view of the snow-capped mountains, allowing me to wake up and enjoy the sunrise illuminating the golden peaks without having to rush out for sightseeing. It was incredibly comfortable and rejuvenating. The butler team provided exceptionally detailed service, handling everything from transportation and room upgrades to custom breakfast requests – their attentiveness exceeded expectations. The breakfast selection was rich and varied, with excellent coffee and fruity flavors, making for a fantastic overall dining and living experience. The guesthouse is conveniently located for easy access to and from both ancient towns. It's quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of the old city. Every day felt relaxed and pleasant. This is a treasure of a guesthouse, allowing you to shed your fatigue and peacefully gaze at the snow-capped mountains. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Lijiang.

Choosing Jùshè B&B for my Lijiang trip was absolutely worth it! The location is perfect – quiet yet close to the action, just a few minutes' walk to the Big Water Wheel in the Old Town, making getting around super convenient. The courtyard is lush with greenery, and the wooden style is elegant and cozy. The room was great too! Plus, there was a dedicated butler who helped with luggage, made sachets, and was really enthusiastic. He even offered to take us on a tour of the ancient town! It happened to rain during my stay, and listening to the rain at the downstairs bar in the evening while enjoying the complimentary sweet soup from the B&B was incredibly comfortable and created such a wonderful atmosphere. The value for money is outstanding. It's also right next to the entrance of Black Dragon Pool Park, and you can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain not far away – it's just so ideal for a stay! I'll definitely book here again on my next visit!

Stepping out, the snow-capped mountains loom majestically over the garden. In the morning, they're shrouded in mist, transforming into a rose gold spectacle by evening – a truly enchanting and therapeutic view. The room's window frames act like a living painting, allowing you to watch the clouds drift by from the comfort of your bed. The service is incredibly attentive, from hot milk delivered late at night to sharing secret photo spots. The most heartwarming touches were the Bernese Mountain dog bringing my slippers and the cat curling up on my lap for a nap, making it feel like a home nestled in the forest. When I left, the dog even walked me to the car. I've already made plans to return. 🏔️🐾

I really have to praise the Lijiang Yunman Mushan Snow Inn, it was the biggest surprise of my trip to Lijiang! The location is just perfect – you can walk to explore all the streets and alleys of the Old Town. It's quiet yet central; the courtyard is incredibly peaceful at night, completely undisturbed by street noise. The overall design is an elegant Song-style courtyard, adorned with greenery and flowers. The play of light and shadow in the courtyard corridors is beautiful, making every casual photo feel like a professional shot. You absolutely *must* visit the rooftop panoramic terrace! During the day, you can gaze at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and in the evening, overlook the twinkling lights of the Old Town. Just sitting there feels incredibly therapeutic. The rooms are neat and dry, the bedding is comfortable, and the facilities are complete, showing great attention to detail. The staff's service is just right – friendly but not intrusive, and they patiently share local food recommendations and travel tips. The inn also has its own leisure and entertainment area, so you can relax without even leaving the premises. I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Lijiang for a holiday; the experience is top-notch! It's already on my list for a return stay next time I'm in Lijiang!

The guesthouse has a fantastic location, just a 5-minute walk to the center of the old town. The owner was incredibly welcoming, offering to help with luggage and providing travel tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. Although it's on the street, it was very quiet at night; the attention to detail was excellent. My stay was perfect for a few days, and the value for money was fantastic. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Lijiang!

This hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable! Situated right near Baisha Ancient Town and at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it boasts a prime, front-row view of the mountain. With unspoiled agricultural land in front, the panoramic views are completely unobstructed. You can soak in the majestic snow-capped peaks right from your room, and even witness the breathtaking 'Golden Mountain in the Sunlight' spectacle from your bed. The ambiance and viewing experience were incredible, making this the most delightful stay of our Lijiang trip. The service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. As we stayed for two nights, the hotel kindly arranged airport transfers, making everything seamless and stress-free. They also provided daily shuttle service to and from Baisha Ancient Town, which was super convenient for exploring and saved us the hassle of driving or finding taxis. Beyond that, the hotel offered immersive Naxi cultural experiences like tea pressing and 'Jiama' woodblock printing, which allowed us to truly delve into local customs and added so much richness and fun to our journey. The staff were consistently warm and attentive throughout our stay. They greeted us cheerfully, patiently recommended local specialty foods and off-the-beaten-path routes, and all their suggestions were incredibly useful. During downtime, they'd even invite guests to gather downstairs for tea and a chat. Their genuine and heartfelt approach made us feel completely at ease and welcome, as if we were visiting our own backyard. Their meticulous care and concern were evident in every interaction, truly making us feel at home. The guest rooms were spacious, and the amenities were comprehensive and well-equipped with everything you could need, ensuring a very comfortable stay. The combination of the unparalleled scenic views and outstanding soft and hard services far exceeded our expectations. Whether you're looking for a relaxing vacation or an immersive Lijiang experience, I highly recommend it. This will definitely be my top choice for accommodation on my next visit to Lijiang!
