Hotels With bar in Yunnan, China

I recently stayed at this brand-new hotel (opened in 2024), and it was such a nice experience. If you want a place with lots of extras, this is it. They have two pool tables, a small rooftop pool, and two gyms—one for yoga and Pilates with all the equipment, and another with treadmills, bikes, free weights, and even a Smith machine. There’s also a laundry room with washers, which was really handy. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices, but you’ll want to arrive early to get the best selection. The staff were all very friendly, but Fei Xiu (绯袖) on WeChat was especially helpful—she answered all my questions quickly and made everything easy. The location isn’t right on the riverbank near the Starlight Market, but it’s not far from tourist spots either. It’s actually in a good spot if you want a quieter stay while still being close enough to everything. If you’re looking for a modern, well-equipped hotel with great service, I’d definitely recommend this one!

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to attractions like Guishan Park. Shangri-La has significant temperature swings, so it's convenient to return to the hotel anytime to change clothes, grab things, or rest. The entrance is also a popular photo spot, with amazing views both morning and night. If you love night views, the second floor of the hotel is also great for photos. The hotel's decor has a lot of local character. If you're not too particular about accommodation standards, it's worth experiencing. Although it's in the heart of the old town, it's very quiet at night. Upon check-in, you're offered a Hada (******* ceremonial scarf) and ginger tea. Breakfast includes savory butter tea, and in the evening, they provide highland barley bread and yak milk. The highland barley bread is quite tasty. One day when we went to Meili, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a packed breakfast for us. The hotel offers airport drop-off service, just request it a day in advance. I give the location full marks.

🌲 Dali Cangshan Oxygen Retreat | Living in This Forest, I Kicked My Phone Addiction🍃 Seriously, I'm so grateful! The biggest surprise of my Dali trip wasn't the ancient city or Erhai Lake, but this forest B&B nestled halfway up Cangshan Mountain 🌿. As we drove up from the city, the urban hustle and bustle slowly faded, replaced by lush greenery and the sound of pine trees swaying in the wind. 🌄 **The Rooftop is Pure Soul:** I was absolutely stunned the moment I stepped onto the rooftop – the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stood behind me like a majestic screen, with the entire Erhai Lake and scattered Bai ethnic villages stretching out below. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were faintly visible. In the morning, drawing back the curtains revealed a sea of rolling clouds. In the evening, I'd sit on the swing chair on the terrace, watching the sunset paint Erhai Lake a honeyed gold 🍯. At night, a glance upwards showed the Milky Way so clearly it brought tears to my eyes ✨. 🌿 **Immersive Mountain Living:** Hydrangeas were in full bloom in the courtyard, and dappled sunlight filtered through the treetops onto the wooden floors. The natural wood-toned room had floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, making it feel like sleeping right in the forest 🌲. There were also three resident cats, each with their own unique personality, taking turns on patrol. Every day was spent petting cats, gazing at the mountains, and simply daydreaming – my phone stayed at 90% battery, I didn't even want to touch it. 📍 Shanjinjian · Designer Wild Luxury B&B (Dali Ancient City Branch) #DaliB&B #DaliTravel #CangshanErhai #WildLuxuryB&B #ForestB&B #MyLifePhoto #DaliSeclusionGuide

Staying in the Jacuzzi Villa was an absolute delight! The Naxi-style courtyard was elegant and peaceful, and the private, temperature-controlled Jacuzzi was clean and comfortable. Soaking under the stars at night melted away all my travel fatigue. I must commend Elin, our butler, for her outstanding service. From coordinating before our arrival to her attentive care during our stay, she was always quick to respond to any needs. She was thoughtful and professional, never intrusive, which truly enhanced the relaxing vacation vibe. The facilities were excellent, and the service was an added bonus – a perfect Lijiang getaway! Highly recommended!

The room was very clean, and the host was super friendly and helpful with luggage. There's also a Samoyed named Mitsu who is incredibly friendly; my kids absolutely adored her and couldn't bear to leave. The dog was very clean and well-behaved. Overall, the guesthouse was very quiet.

One of the best accommodations I’ve ever stayed at! 🥹❤️ They provide free pick-up from the train station when you arrive and drop-off on your last day, which is super convenient and saves you the hassle and cost of booking a Didi. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. The people here are so friendly, helpful and thoughtful throughout our stay. I’m genuinely impressed by their hospitality and how they go out of their way to make sure we’re comfortable . Even though my Chinese isn’t very good, they were always patient and helped translate so we could communicate. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Shangri-La. If you’re planning a trip here, this is definitely a place worth staying at! 🫶🏻 The view is 10000/100!

The hotel is located just inside the South Gate of the ancient city, slightly away from the bustling downtown area. We stayed in the White Peacock room this time, which had a great view and a small courtyard. The hotel service was excellent; the ginger tea at the front desk was absolutely delicious, and I've become addicted to it these past few days! We also received afternoon tea upon arrival, and the latte was incredibly good! Our butler, 'One Fish' 🐟, was also super enthusiastic, always responding to WeChat messages no matter the time. The hotel even offered makeup and costume services; I didn't wear the costume but just tried the makeup and hair, which was definitely worth it! Overall, highly recommended!

The view was fantastic; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my room. Service was excellent, with very efficient pick-up and drop-off services, and they even offered traditional clothing for photoshoots. The food was delicious; the Bai ethnic chef, working unhurriedly and methodically, prepared everything perfectly. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective! The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.

Stayed here in end Aug where there wasn’t much snow cap on the mountains and a lot of clouds blocking the mountain peaks, but I’d say that the room view is still really nice because there’s sun, lake, mountain, clouds all in one! What we appreciated from this hotel: 1. The views: on day 1, we had afternoon tea (complimentary with our booking) and just enjoyed the view. We also tried to catch sunrise from our bed, and also enjoyed the view over complimentary breakfast at Level 1. 2. The service: this is the most supportive service we’ve ever had among all the hotels in China and other countries we have been to. - transport: They helped us to schedule complimentary pickup transfers from Lijiang train station to the hotel on our first day and from hotel to Lijiang Sanyi airport on our last day. - Taobao: They also helped me a lot with my many Taobao orders, across communicating with the delivery people, collecting (1x a day) from the collection point, returning some items as they weren’t fitting, applying for refund as my parcels still didn’t arrive on the last day etc. - other advice: getting used to higher altitude in Lijiang, how to use the washing machine & dryer, recovering from diarrhoea, whether we can still visit Lijiang Ancient City at night - other hotel items: gave us makeup remover and cotton pads when we had our photoshoot etc. - food: packed breakfast for us when we had day tours that started from 6am and asked us to pick our breakfast if we’re eating at hotel a day before. - housekeeping: they’d ask us if we’d like housekeeping when we waited for our didi to come. For the 6am day tours when reception wasn’t open yet, we texted them for help to tidy the room and we came back to a tidied room when we returned. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Super comprehensive service, we highly appreciated this. 3. Toilet: this toilet has a bidet! We were pleasantly surprised by this. While the area around the hotel is generally still developing, to which one of our Didi drivers said there was growing interest in real estate around the area, among the 3 hotels we stayed in Yunnan so far across Kunming, Dali and Lijiang, this is the best one we have had 😊
