Dali Muxi Dali · Huoshan Hotel

Hotels in Dali City
No. 1 of Luxury Hotels in Dali City
Dream Island • Huo Mountain is a resort hotel that has grown from the red land, embodying the aesthetics of life, local culture, art, and architectural design. It is also a time vessel, the result of 12 years of dedication by its architect and owner, Baxun. Dream Island began in 2020 as a small-scale hotel next to the Erhai Lake, with just 7 rooms. In 2021, Dream Island • Huo Mountain briefly emerged with 9 rooms. After four years of reconstruction, it has now evolved into a vacation paradise rooted in the soul of the land, offering 23 rooms. This is not a cold, luxurious space, but rather an experiment in cultural awakening, artistic appreciation, and life healing.
"This hotel was a great choice for our multi-week road trip, even if the drive up the mountain was indeed challenging, it was worth it. The design, quality, service, and dining were all excellent in every aspect. The attention to detail was exceptional, surpassing even some international luxury brands. To have such thoughtful and delicious food in a mountain setting like this is truly rare. It's also clear that the local staff are very well-trained. A few small suggestions: Personally, even for a secluded, getaway-style hotel, not having a TV in the room can be a bit boring. You could have one – whether guests watch it or not, at least they'd have the option (perhaps for casting). I hope that next time we visit, the road will be improved, and mosquito screens will be installed in the rooms so we can confidently open the windows and enjoy the mountain air. Because we love it, we hope it becomes even more perfect."

The guest room was meticulously cleaned, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent – I slept soundly until morning.

"The room was fantastic, offering a 140-degree sea view that captured half of Erhai Lake. Every morning, drawing the curtains revealed a beautiful tripartite panorama of sky, sea, and land, with shades of grey and blue perfectly blending together—a truly visually awakening experience! Traveling with elderly parents and children, we opted for twin beds. The room wasn't huge, but the amenities were incredibly comprehensive. The wet/dry separation and built-in bathtub design were very thoughtful. The sliding-door vanity mirror was also a clever touch; whenever you wanted, you could face Erhai Lake while getting ready! The service was even more attentive. Before we even got to the hotel entrance from the car, the lobby staff were already at our vehicle, checking if we had luggage, and immediately helped us take it to our room. The smart robot delivery also ensured precise point-to-point delivery for our takeout. The second-floor hotel lobby was spacious and cozy, exuding an undeniable sophisticated charm. Sitting there for a few minutes to enjoy the view was an excellent experience. Hidden within the surrounding villa area were several unique local restaurants; remember to search for them on review apps so you don't miss out. Finally, I have to praise the lovely front desk lady. Knowing I collect room key cards, she gave me a complete set of local-themed ones along with a luggage tag charm—they were beautiful! Indigo is definitely a great choice!"

DALI TAOXI SECRET MANOR

Hotel near Dali Ancient City,Dali City
Dali Taoxi Mengdie Secret Manor，Nurtured by the exquisite landscapes of Cangshan’s Peach Stream, it is an upscale resort manor integrating life aesthetics, local culture and natural healing. Crafted by the owner over more than a decade alongside one of the Eighteen Streams of Cangshan, it stands as a vessel of time and a spiritual sanctuary. "Zhuangzi Dreamed of Butterflies; dwell in the Peach Blossom Land. Here you reclaim the poetry and freedom between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake." Polished through years of refinement, it has evolved from an original secluded mountain retreat into an exclusive hideaway that embraces traditional Chinese culture and local spirit, blending wild luxury with private hot springs. Every corner of the estate is bathed in the breeze of Cangshan, the moonlight of Erhai Lake, and the earthly poetic charm of Dali. This is no sterile luxury hotel, but an immersive local experience centered on natural healing, cultural immersion and spiritual awakening. Rise early for a hike into Cangshan Mountain, listen to the gurgling Peach Stream, and watch sea of clouds drift over pine forests. Spend the afternoon sipping authentic Dali tea in the Zen courtyard, as sunlight and shadow linger upon Bai ethnic wood carvings. At night, fall asleep to mountain breezes, with a sky full of stars twinkling overhead. Tucked away in lush gardens, our guest rooms infuse Bai ethnic intangible cultural heritage, local art, yoga meditation and natural healing into every moment of your stay. Every guest may cast aside weariness amid mountains and rivers, find inner peace in cultural nourishment, and reconnect with oneself through healing serenity. At Taoxi Mengdie, what you encounter is far more than a manor—it is the most authentic way of life in Dali. With Cangshan as your backdrop and the Three Pagodas as your mirror, mountains and rivers as your neighbors and poetry as your constant companion, this is an ideal abode where everyday life turns into a poem.
"Pros: Great location, new rooms, good privacy, and enthusiastic staff. Areas for improvement: 1. The hotel needs to clarify its positioning. If it's a high-end family-friendly hotel, then the kids' programs need to be well-developed to keep children engaged. If it's positioned as a high-end resort for adults, then there should be clear restrictions on young children to ensure public areas, including restaurants, remain quiet and orderly. For a hotel at this price point, the environment should meet guests' expectations. 2. Improve accessibility for self-driving guests. All three roads leading in and out of the hotel are single-lane, making it incredibly difficult to pass oncoming vehicles. My car was scratched on the way out. 3. Service details need improvement. One day, we returned to our room at 1 PM to find it hadn't been cleaned. On another day, around 3 PM, we found standing water on the bathroom floor – I'm not sure how the cleaning staff managed that. We had three people staying, but only ever received two bath towels. The restaurant staff lacked experience and weren't attentive enough. When settling the bill, they never asked if I had any discount vouchers (which resulted in me paying full price for 4 out of 5 meals, charged to the room, and non-modifiable)."

"We drove there, and there are parking spaces on the ground, plus a large underground parking lot. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the old town, so you'll need a taxi or car to get there, which is a bit far. There's an indoor pool open from 7 AM to 10 PM. We went swimming at noon, and it wasn't crowded. There's also a play area for small children and a gym for fitness enthusiasts, which is great – perfect for relaxing at the hotel after a day of activities. The bonfire party was also lively, from 8 PM to 9 PM, and the elderly enjoyed dancing."

"A truly perfect trip! Here, I enjoyed sunny weather, stunning Erhai Lake views, and a fantastic large balcony. The room layout, including the full-length mirror, was exceptionally beautiful. What sets this hotel apart from others in Ideal State is its deep commitment to the Santorini, Greece-style design. While some other places might only have an exterior that fits the theme, with very ordinary interiors, this hotel extends that Greek Santorini vibe to both its facade and inside the rooms. You can even watch the sunset from bed! And the next morning, with a bit of luck, I captured some amazing 'blue hour' photos. The butler and hotel service were incredibly attentive; basically, anything I needed, the butler would take care of. The afternoon tea, with ginger-syrup drizzled waffles and other delicious treats, was also perfectly to my liking. Actually, I fell in love with this room when I first saw the hotel six months ago (yes, I even preferred it over others with pools!). So, I saved up and finally came today, half a year later. What can I say? I feel incredibly lucky. The weather forecast had predicted cloudy and rainy days for Dali, but the moment I arrived, it cleared up and stayed sunny until I checked out. Plus, it wasn't too crowded when I visited (it might be peak season later on). In short, I highly recommend it! If you're planning a trip to Ideal State, definitely come to this hotel and stay in this room!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at Mengjing Yayuan. For context, we usually stay at 5 star hotels when traveling internationally. The location of Mengjing Yayuan was hard to beat, as it is quite literally a block away from the entrance of Dali Ancient City and the reviews were great, so we decided to book. It is more of a boutique style hotel, but with very good management, facilities, and amenities. The air conditioning in our room was modern/updated and worked very well, which was great since that's not always the case in China. Communication with the front desk/reception was very easy through Wechat, and any requests were fulfilled very quickly and happily. I speak Chinese, but I don't think it would have been much of a problem if I didn't given the in-built translation on Wechat. They also provide a free laundry service, which was invaluable! Breakfast was simple, but delicious and filling. You choose a cooked noodle dish out of several options that's made fresh for you, and also have a buffet available, so there was something for even pickier eaters. Overall, lovely stay and we would totally come back for our next visit!"

The staff are so warm and attentive. The facilities are incredibly comprehensive: a book bar, a regular bar, a sports hall, a restaurant, and a gym (with tons of equipment, which I, as someone who works out daily, absolutely loved!). What I want to praise most about the room is the incredibly spacious shower area, with excellent wet/dry separation. I really love this room type. The breakfast selection is rich and varied, and they even have卡通餐盘 (cartoon-themed plates) – so thoughtful for families traveling with children!"

Dali Palace Hotel

Hotel near Cangshan Scenic Area,Dali City
"We had a wonderful stay at Dali Wanggong Hotel. The hotel’s design is elegant, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. Our room included a lovely children’s tatami bed, which our child absolutely loved—it made the stay even more special for our family. One of our favorite moments was sitting on the balcony in the afternoon, enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect way to unwind. A special thank you to the wonderful concierge team—Xiaoyin, Xiaoxu, Xiaomin, and Xiaohang. They were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and always went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel welcome. During our stay, the hotel was preparing for a wedding, and the setting looked absolutely stunning. It made us think that this would be an incredibly romantic venue for a wedding. We highly recommend Dali Wanggong Hotel to anyone visiting Dali and would love to stay here again in the future!"

"I found this hotel in Dali on Trip.com for our family trip to Yunnan. We drove from Kunming to Dali, and the Kunchu-Dali Expressway was easy to navigate, though the tolls were a bit pricey, over a hundred yuan. Once we arrived in Dali, we followed the navigation on National Highway 214 and found the hotel easily. It's located on the downhill slope of Cangshan Mountain, directly facing Erhai Lake. You can see Erhai Lake from the room and enjoy the fresh air of Cangshan. Check-in was straightforward; the front desk already had our room ready. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade this time. Our room was on the second floor and had a balcony. Sitting on the balcony, sipping tea, chatting, and enjoying the breeze was absolutely delightful. The room was clean and tidy. We booked a twin room, and the beds were very large, easily accommodating three people. There was also a big sofa in the room that could be used as an extra bed. The room was bright, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing us to sleep in every day. The hotel breakfast cost 98 yuan per person; we tried it, and it was decent. There aren't many entertainment facilities at the hotel, so if you're looking for that, you might want to consider elsewhere. The hotel offers an electric shuttle service to the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple and the Cangshan Gate of Dali Ancient City, but we didn't get to use it this time. The reason was that the hotel only has one shuttle, and it was already booked when we wanted to use it. We would have had to wait an hour. So, in the end, we had to take a taxi to the Ancient City. Also, the sliding door in the bathroom of our room couldn't close properly, leaving a large gap that let in light. On the bright side, the hotel provided a complimentary shawl, free mini-bar drinks, and welcome fruit, which was a nice touch. Despite a few minor flaws, I would still choose this hotel again for my next visit."
