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!

Honestly, this has been one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at so far! I can’t really comment much on the location because we honestly didn’t have to think about it—the hotel provides a private car to take us around, which made everything so easy and comfortable. The experience itself is amazing. There are SO many activities included that we were actually confused about which one to try first! The room was beautiful, with an incredible direct view of the Snow Mountain. Waking up to that view was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. They also provide unlimited drinks, alcohol, fruits, and so many thoughtful little extras throughout the stay. But honestly, it’s not just about the unlimited drinks 😆—the whole experience, service, activities, room, and attention to detail were exceptional. My only regret is that we stayed for just one night. I definitely think 2–3 nights would be perfect to really enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. Perfect in every way. One of my favorite stays in Lijiang and absolutely recommended!

This hotel is located near the South Gate of the ancient city, offering a quiet retreat while still being conveniently accessible. Stepping into the lobby reveals a hidden gem, with understated yet tasteful design and excellent facilities. We stayed in a room with a balcony this time, which the kids absolutely loved. What's more, the butler service was impeccable from before check-in right through to after check-out – so thoughtful and attentive! Highly recommend!

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.

I absolutely have to give this hotel a glowing review! First off, the location is superb – right next to the ancient town, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the hotel feels like entering a traditional Naxi village. The staff's service is absolutely outstanding. The electric buggies are always on call, and they'll even knock on your door to help carry your luggage from your room. The rooms themselves are incredibly well-designed, and the mattress firmness is just right, making for a very comfortable sleep. The hotel's pool is also heated. You can enjoy stunning views of the snow-capped mountains, and the scenery from the coffee bar is simply unbeatable. Plus, the hotel grounds are definitely worth a leisurely stroll. Furthermore, the breakfast spread is incredibly rich, and the lunch and dinner options are also quite good and reasonably priced. The biggest shout-out goes to our butler, Claire Zhao. She responded instantly on WeChat and provided incredibly thoughtful service, washing away all the fatigue from our travels.

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!

The most popular 'Water Pavilion' overlooking the snow-capped mountains on the internet really drew me in, so I decided to check into Jinmao for this unique beautiful view. The environment is absolutely stunning; the hotel is courtyard-style with a beautiful lake view. Although it was a cloudy day and I didn't get to see the snow mountains, which was a bit disappointing, the overall stay was excellent, especially the attentive service. They proactively asked about our needs and promptly mailed back an item we left behind.

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.

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!
