5-Star Hotels in Kunming

Location is a big plus here — right next to the convention center, a shopping mall with tons of dining and shopping options, and DiDaDi outdoor theme park is literally just outside the hotel. The kids loved it and kept themselves busy the whole time. Rooms were great and the outdoor bathtub was a nice bonus. We had a minor hiccup with the AC going out overnight, but the manager was super responsive and got us moved to a new room without any hassle since the technician wasn’t around over the weekend. Really appreciated that. Free breakfast and supper are both included, and honestly both were really good — plenty of variety and everything tasted great. Oh, and don’t sleep on the hotel’s rooftop photo shoot. The views up there are stunning and it’s a proper must-do during your stay. All in all, a really enjoyable stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect location in a walkable tree-lined neighborhood, where there are lots of upscale restaurants and bars and cafes. The hotel isn’t the newest and could use a touch-up in places but very interesting design, cool artwork in the lobby, huge rooms. A couple machines for laundry and gym on top floor. Service at the reception was super helpful. Breakfast is in a restaurant that is a German beer place during the day and night. Selection is modest but sausages and delicious broth and noodles, the bread could have been more fresh. Would stay here again.

The hotel is conveniently located near Haigeng Dam, and as soon as you step in, it feels like a Banyan Tree resort, with lush tropical plants, fountain courtyards, and especially the stunning large palm trees. The room is very spacious, and the decor has a great sense of quality. The bedding is comfortable, and the toiletries are Byredo Blanche, which shows excellent taste. The breakfast is rich, especially the delicious rice noodles – just make sure to go early as it gets crowded. The service is exceptional, especially Nina, who, knowing we were traveling with a child, installed two bed rails and prepared many baby essentials for us. It was incredibly thoughtful, and we are very grateful. The rice noodles at Xiangdao Xuan Chinese restaurant are so authentic; both the chicken soup and ingredients are excellent. This was a truly satisfying stay, and InterContinental will definitely be my first choice when I return to Kunming.

While the hotel room facilities are a bit dated, with old carpets and a slightly cramped bathroom with only one sink, the strong water pressure made for a comfortable shower. The air conditioning was just okay, and the soundproofing was decent. As an older five-star hotel, Wanda Vista truly shines in its service. Front desk manager Mr./Ms. Yang was kind and friendly, helping us arrange an extended stay and providing excellent advice and assistance with our Yunnan travel plans. The front desk is often a guest's first impression, and we're very grateful to Mr./Ms. Yang for starting our stay off so well. The restaurant's breakfast offered a good variety, and the taste was acceptable. The breakfast staff were incredibly sincere and service-oriented in their greetings and assistance. I even noticed one or two pregnant staff members in the breakfast area who were still meticulously and efficiently going about their work. The executive lounge didn't have a huge selection of dishes, but everything was fresh and replenished promptly. The housekeeping staff were also very friendly, and the room was kept clean. The hotel's location is super convenient. Overall, it's definitely worth another stay.

My stay at the Wanda Realm Hotel in Chenggong, Kunming, was excellent overall, and I highly recommend it. The hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Chenggong, offering convenient access to public transportation, including a nearby metro station and Wanda Plaza. This makes it incredibly easy to get around, whether you're traveling for business, enjoying some shopping and dining, or heading to the high-speed train station. It's truly a great choice for both business travelers and tourists. The hotel's overall ambiance is upscale and elegant. The lobby is spacious and bright with sophisticated decor, and the public areas are clean, tidy, and offer a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. The attention to detail truly reflects its quality, making you feel relaxed and at ease the moment you walk in. The front desk service was particularly outstanding. The staff were warm, polite, and provided excellent service with a smile. Check-in was efficient and quick, and they were patient and thorough throughout. They proactively offered information about hotel facilities, local attractions, and travel tips, and promptly answered any questions I had. Their professionalism and thoughtfulness made me feel incredibly welcome. The room itself was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bedding was comfortable. The soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a high quality of rest. With its standardized service, first-class environment, and convenient location, this hotel is a top choice in the Chenggong area of Kunming. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kunming, and I genuinely recommend it to all my friends.

We came all the way from Chengdu for a two-day weekend getaway. The hotel offers complimentary airport shuttle service, which was a lifesaver when my friend suddenly had severe abdominal pain on the plane. The driver kindly took us to the nearest clinic and waited for us. The hotel's concierge, Bocheng, was incredibly nice and accommodating, always ready to help and even proactively helped us plan and remind us about our itinerary for the next day. The hotel is beautifully situated right on Yangzong Lake, offering a fantastic location. Although it's been open for twenty years, it's still well-maintained and has a unique charm.

The hotel environment is fantastic, right next to Yulongwan Park. There's a small path leading to the back entrance of the park, and it's lush with greenery, making the air really fresh. The front desk staff (especially the young lady) was super friendly and provided excellent service. The room was spacious, and all the drinks in the minibar were complimentary. It also had a balcony, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying a cup of tea – super relaxing!

I absolutely, truly, madly love this retro hotel! So comfortable and clean!!!! Five stars all the way!! The old-fashioned architectural texture and vintage soft furnishings exude a quiet elegance without feeling heavy or dated. The blend of retro and modern is just perfect!!! The room details are thoughtfully done, and the comfort level is completely on point. The staff service is also excellent!!! That attentive, considerate touch unique to older, established hotels!!!!! Love Kunming! I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facilities: This is a Shangri-La Group express hotel, boasting a stylish and modern design. It shares the same building with the main Shangri-La hotel, so guests have access to their gym and swimming pool. The brand-new amenities make for a very comfortable stay. Location: It's conveniently located near the Parc 66 shopping mall area, and the Tuodong Sports Center Metro Station (Line 3) is right outside, making travel easy. Service: The hotel's Kaitang Cafe offers an excellent breakfast with a wide variety of high-quality dishes, including local specialties and outstanding bakery items. The restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful. The fitness center also provides fantastic service; they even offer complimentary coffee after your workout. I'd also like to thank the front desk staff, ISABEL, LOUIS, and HALINA, for their excellent service during my stay.

The hotel's location is super convenient! It was easy to get to Old Street and Cuihu Lake for some sightseeing and local food. The room itself was spacious and bright, with a well-thought-out layout. I really appreciated the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom – it made things feel much cleaner and more practical. And a special shout-out to their essential oil soap! It smelled lovely, lathered up nicely, and it's even part of a charity project, which is a nice touch.
