Lijiang Hotels with Pools

Took my mom out for a trip and saw Aling's live stream on Douyin. She came across as very practical, genuine, and unpretentious, so we decided to stay for a few days. Overall, it was a really good experience. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there's a water feature with koi fish, which gives a vibrant and lively feel. The two young men working there were incredibly attentive and patient in answering our questions, and their demeanor was very refined. We also had the good fortune to meet a compatible travel couple, Sister Liu and her husband, at Aling's place. It felt like such a serendipitous encounter for people from the north and south to meet here. In the evening, we gathered in Aling's courtyard to chat, drink tea, and share our travel experiences. It was truly delightful. Thank you, Aling, for bringing us all together!

Traveling with my little one, staying at Lijiang Shitoucuo Snow Mountain Resort was the absolute highlight of our trip – I wholeheartedly recommend it to families with kids! The hotel boasts a serene environment with direct views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Parking is convenient, making self-driving a breeze. The gentle cats and dogs at the hotel were a huge hit with my child; every morning, they’d wake up and immediately run off to play with the pets, having the happiest time. When we checked out, my little one was so sad to leave, constantly talking about how much they’d miss the cats and dogs. The staff were incredibly kind and patient, especially accommodating towards children. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and healing, devoid of any commercial hustle and bustle. Everything from the courtyard environment and room cleanliness to the amenities and services was impeccable. We had such a comfortable stay. This stay was exceptionally satisfying. My child and I have already promised to return to Shitoucuo for another vacation when we have the chance!

The hotel is located in Lijiang Old Town, making it an excellent choice for anyone who wants to explore the area on foot. One of our rooms was upgraded, and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay in Lijiang. The hotel also offers many complimentary activities for guests to enjoy. The property features a beautiful garden with several alpacas and peacocks roaming around, allowing guests to interact and play with them. The rooftop view is another major highlight, as on a clear day you may be lucky enough to enjoy a stunning view of the snow-capped mountains.

Booked a three-room private courtyard for our family. The view from the rooms is absolutely stunning. This hotel truly lives up to its 'mini-Aman' reputation, boasting a charming antique style and top-tier room amenities. There are also plenty of free DIY activities for kids to enjoy. I highly, highly, highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a beautiful environment. The staff's service is also exceptional. Just a heads-up, the hotel is located inside the ancient town, so cars can't pull directly up to the entrance. However, the hotel staff will come out to help with luggage, and it's only a 5-6 minute walk, which isn't a problem at all. The hotel is just a two or three-minute walk from the Mu Family Mansion, truly in the heart of the ancient town. Thumbs up!

The room had a projector, and the B&B even had streaming service memberships for binge-watching, which was great! You could see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the room, and it was cleaned very well. The owner was super enthusiastic and helped us with our luggage (even braving the rain to do so, many thanks!). The watermelon was also very sweet, and all the facilities were excellent. The third-floor viewing deck had amazing scenery, with a beautiful blue pool and lovely tables and coffee tables. The view was expansive, perfect for seeing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and made for some fantastic photos.

The hotel's overall facilities, environment, and rooms are quite good. It's a high-end hotel, but the staff training is seriously lacking. Every day, when entering or leaving, there are young owners or staff members smoking in the lobby, making it impossible to stay there due to the stench. The front desk staff are equally unprofessional. We pre-booked a hotel car to take us to the high-speed rail station, but they said there wasn't enough time to arrange a taxi for us. Then, the hotel car returned, and the driver, also a young man, was probably too lazy to drive us. The front desk told us to just get in, and then the driver actually scolded us, saying he was rushing back and forth 😅. They also advertised complimentary afternoon tea and snacks, but when we went upstairs to ask the staff, they were all young people working in their home clothes, and completely clueless. It was incredibly unprofessional. The hotel breakfast had some good items, but they dared to put out oranges that were completely rotten. Your service staff really need proper training. The hotel itself is高級 and comfortable, but the entire place feels like a gathering spot for unruly youngsters because of your staff and owners.

The hotel's ancient courtyard environment is elegant and tranquil, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, allowing you to enjoy a rare sense of leisure right on the edge of the old town. I especially want to commend the dining and spa! The food quality is consistently excellent; the lobby bar, breakfast, and Chinese restaurant offer a rich and exquisite selection of dishes. Both Chinese and Western flavors are authentic and delicious, and the breakfast spread is diverse and fresh. The dining environment is comfortable and pleasant, making every meal highly satisfying. The spa is a major highlight of the hotel, with a great ambiance that truly helps you relax. The professional and soothing techniques wash away the fatigue of travel, making the SPA experience incredibly therapeutic. The service throughout was attentive and thoughtful; the staff were warm, polite, and responsive, paying attention to every detail. The room was comfortable and clean, making for a very pleasant stay. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in Lijiang, the InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort is an excellent choice. The combination of delicious food and spa treatments is pure bliss. I genuinely recommend it, a full five-star rating! ✨

If you're visiting Lijiang's Shuhe Ancient Town, you absolutely cannot miss the amazing Guanxin Inn! The environment here is beautiful, with lush greenery in the courtyard and fresh air that instantly helps you relax. The bedding in the rooms is exceptionally comfortable – a good night's sleep here will leave you feeling completely refreshed! The service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive; no matter what you need, they'll help you out, making you feel as warm and welcome as if you were at home. Step outside the inn and you can immediately experience the ancient town's unique charm and leisurely pace of life, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation and capturing some great photos! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and immersive experience of Lijiang's culture!

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!

We had never stayed in a homestay before, but Yintang Museum • Snow Mountain Cliff Forest Oxygen Art Manor was so much more than just a hotel. It became one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Yunnan. From the moment we arrived, the owners and staff treated us like family. As first-time visitors to China who don’t speak Chinese, we were initially nervous, but the team made everything feel effortless and welcoming. They either spoke English with us or used a translation app, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They even set up a WeChat group with us so we could ask for recommendations, organise local excursions, or join activities at the hotel such as the sound bath and tea ceremony. After coming from the fast pace of Shanghai, this place felt incredibly peaceful and grounding. The location was perfect, close enough to walk straight into Shuhe Ancient Town without relying on DiDi, yet still quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by nature. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The design and interiors are elegant, with the owner’s artwork displayed throughout the property, which gives the whole place such a unique and magical atmosphere. It truly feels immersed in nature and has such a calming energy. The breakfast had a great variety, and we also ate at the restaurant in the evenings a few times. Everything was fresh and cooked on-site by the chefs. One day I wasn’t feeling well, and the staff kindly made me a simple plain porridge, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our room felt incredibly homely. The bed was secretly one of the most comfortable we slept in during our trip, the room stayed cool despite the warm weather, and the shower was powerful with everything kept spotless and clean. A very special thank you to Moony and all of her wonderful staff for making this such an unforgettable trip. Your kindness, warmth, and care made us feel safe and genuinely looked after during our first visit to China, and we will always remember it with gratitude. We honestly wish we had stayed longer. This place gave us not only comfort and relaxation, but also confidence and warmth during our first experience in China. We would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Lijiang.
