GGuest UserA very satisfying hotel experience, mainly for these reasons:
Location: The location is excellent, just a five to six-minute walk to Daguan Park, and close to the Dianchi Wetland area, making it very convenient for sightseeing! Parking is also readily available right in front of the hotel.
Facilities and Service: The room was clean, and the facilities were complete and well-maintained, with good soundproofing. The service was fantastic, and all the staff were very polite! The hotel breakfast was good, especially the rice noodles – delicious! Plus, breakfast hours were quite generous.
Surroundings: The view from the window was pleasant, with the Western Hills in the distance and Dianchi Lake nearby!
Summary: Overall, I was very satisfied. It was a great stay and travel experience! If you're looking to visit Dianchi Lake and its surroundings, this hotel is, all things considered, an excellent choice!

BBailiguihaiThe hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient to get around. The concierge delivered our luggage to the room. The room itself was spacious and well-laid out, with every corner impeccably clean. All the staff were incredibly warm and polite, especially Bianca. She contacted me a day in advance to confirm my arrival time and thoughtfully upgraded my room. Whenever I had any questions or requests, Bianca responded and resolved them instantly. Since my flight was in the evening, she also arranged a late check-out for me, which allowed my family and me ample time to rest. I'm truly grateful to her!

RRenee_OsyHotel ameninites are clean and a the staffs are nice and friendly. Huge shoutout to staff Yedda, she has been such a great help thus far during our stay, her friendly attitude in helping her customers are admirable. Breakfast was really good and lots of varieties to choose from!
Note to take: only 15 mins away from the airport, so it is really good if you are taking a transit flight or early flight because the ahort distance makes waking up less tiresome. However it is slightly further away from town, around 40mins away to the ancient town, but overall still a good central location!

MMarc1The hotel is beautifully located by a serene, quiet lake, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing stay. It is particularly popular among families with children, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The breakfast is fantastic, especially if you go early in the morning when the food is freshly prepared. However, later in the day, the selection may not be as fresh.
While the staff does not speak English, navigating your stay is still manageable with some basic Chinese and the help of Google Translate—just as it is in many parts of China.
I highly recommend booking a room with a spa on the balcony. These rooms are located on the second floor, offering greater privacy and more outdoor space. The spa feature itself can be a bit tricky to use—you need to ensure the water level is just right, as too much or too little will prevent it from working properly.
Overall, the hotel is very clean, and the staff is accommodating and responsive to any requests. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent amenities, this is a great choice.
Thank you for having me and for putting up with a stupid foreigner!
YYappariStoryDian Lake Steigenberger Kunming (5 stars)
Our stay at Dian Lake Steigenberger Kunming was truly memorable. All the front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, while the housekeeping team was warm and thoughtful. They went the extra mile to decorate our room for my husband's birthday and even sent us a beautiful and delicious birthday cake — a gesture that made our stay feel extra special.
The Lake View King Room (45m²) was spacious and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and pillows. We especially loved the balcony overlooking the lake — peaceful and perfect for unwinding.
When we mentioned that our centrally controlled air-conditioning felt a bit warm, 军军 和 Amy immediately offered us an additional room for free, complete with an individual aircon controller so we could adjust the temperature ourselves. This level of care and flexibility was truly impressive.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of several restaurants, including KFC, and there’s a 7-Eleven just nearby for added convenience. The lobby is also grand and tastefully decorated, giving a luxurious first impression.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kunming — it offers both comfort and heartfelt hospitality.

YYappariStory✨ Overall Impression
Stepping into the hotel, the lobby's design immediately gives you that ”the vacation has begun” feeling. The wooden structures combined with Southeast Asian-style decor – statues, elephant ornaments, and warm lighting – create a gentle, slightly exotic ambiance. It's understated but rich in detail.
🍽️ Dining Experience
The hotel's buffet area focuses on ”Yunnan specialty cuisine,” with meticulous attention paid to both plate presentation and space design.
The open-plan counters are neat and clean, offering a wide variety of choices. While featuring local flavors, it also caters to different tastes. Overall, it's above average – not stunning, but comfortable and diverse.
🛏️ Room Experience
The rooms are spacious and well-laid out, exuding the relaxed vibe of a resort hotel.
🛋️ Features a separate lounge area and a balcony.
🌿 The outdoor terrace is perfect for relaxing in the morning or evening.
🛁 The bathroom is fully equipped with a separate wet/dry area and a bathtub.
The overall style is natural and warm, with wood and soft lighting making it easy to unwind. However, upon closer inspection, some facilities show a bit of age, though they are still maintained in a comfortable condition.
🌴 Environment and Facilities
The hotel feels more like a resort-style hot spring hotel than a purely business hotel.
🌳 Spacious outdoor areas with a resort atmosphere.
🚗 Luxury cars parked at the entrance enhance the overall sense of class.
🏛️ Richly decorated public areas, perfect for photos.
It's particularly suitable for slow-paced travelers rather than those rushing through their itinerary.
💡 Pros Summary
✔️ Spacious and very comfortable.
✔️ Has a resort atmosphere, great for relaxation.
✔️ Diverse dining options.
✔️ Distinctive design, photo-friendly.
⚖️ Areas for Improvement
▫️ Some facilities are a bit dated.
Recommended for:
✔️ Those looking to slow down in Kunming.
✔️ Travelers who enjoy hot springs + a resort style.
✔️ Guests who prioritize space and comfort.
This isn't a hotel that will wow you at first glance, but it's a place where you can unwind and stay comfortably.
In a city with such pleasant weather as Kunming, it feels more like a ”gentle haven” than a showy luxury.
GGuest UserThis was my third stay at the InterContinental Kunming, and I genuinely consider it a destination hotel. Even their most basic room type is incredibly comfortable, thanks to the spacious area and high ceilings. The most delightful surprise this time was that the breakfast coffee now includes lattes made with a semi-automatic espresso machine. They come with beautiful latte art, and the aroma and richness are much better than what you get from a fully automatic machine. The InterContinental has finally addressed the shortcomings in their breakfast coffee! I'm looking forward to seeing even more pleasant surprises and improvements on my next visit.

GGuest UserThe room was quite spacious, and the service staff at the executive lounge were exceptionally warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, and the front desk agent, Xiao Bi, was very friendly and provided excellent service, a special thank you to her! It would be even better if the elevators going to the underground parking garage and those only going to the first floor could be controlled separately.
GGuest UserMy stay here was absolutely perfect, truly living up to its reputation as Kunming's top five-star hotel! The front desk staff were incredibly warm and professional, providing meticulous and thoughtful service. Heidi, in particular, offered personalized attention throughout my stay, making me feel exceptionally comfortable. The room was spacious and elegant, with a fantastic French light luxury ambiance. The exclusive down bedding was soft, skin-friendly, and offered superb support, leading to an amazing night's sleep. The high-altitude floor-to-ceiling windows provided breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The hotel as a whole was impeccably clean and well-equipped, with luxury evident in every detail. Both the service and quality were top-notch. This is definitely my first choice for accommodation in Kunming, and I'll be back again!
GGuest UserThe room decor is really well done, making excellent use of the limited space – it even gave me some ideas for home organization! For environmental reasons, the room provides a water purifier for direct drinking water, and regular bottled mineral water is also available, catering to different preferences.
Since Jen shares its gym, pool, and bar facilities with Shangri-La, these amenities are far superior to what you'd typically find at a Jen hotel. If these aspects are important to you, then Jen offers great value for money in that sense.
Special thanks to staff members Isabel, Grace, and Remy for their excellent service.
