Breakfast Delight

The breakfast spread at the Intercontinental Lijiang was absolutely divine! They offered a wide variety of options, including an intriguing pastry known as 'dirty buns'—a delicious twist on pain au chocolat. I wish I had access to them every morning, but I made sure to savor every bite when they were available! This was easily the best breakfast I had during my travels in China.

Majestic Views

One of my favorite experiences was enjoying breakfast on the terrace with a stunning view of the sunrise over the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It felt like a dream! After exploring the ancient town, I had a spa treatment that was truly relaxing, helping me unwind after days of hiking and sightseeing. The amenities added to this wonderful experience, making it nice!

Luxurious Room

I was delighted with my spacious room that featured a separate sitting area, a huge, comfortable bed, and an elegant bathroom. The thoughtful touches, like a coffee maker with capsules and an authentic Chinese tea set, truly enhanced my stay. It was so comfortable and beautifully appointed that it felt like a home away from home!

I had a pleasant stay overall, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and nicely designed, and the location is unbeatable since it’s right next to the ancient town of Lijiang. However, I experienced some service hiccups, and the dining options could use a little improvement. I felt the hotel didn't quite meet the high standards I expected, especially for the brand name.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience, as it feels more like wandering through an ancient village than just a resort. The luxurious amenities and decor are beautifully integrated into the heritage style of the place. The location is ideal, with easy access to the charming cobbled streets of the old town, and the dining options are delightful. However, while everything was mostly excellent, a few facilities could improve, such as additional dining variety.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful, with a stunning property that captures the essence of a Naxi village. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, though the bathroom setup could use a bit more privacy. While the dining options were varied and the food tasty, they didn't quite hit the mark in terms of variety at the club lounge. Overall, the combination of fantastic staff and picturesque surroundings made for an enjoyable experience, despite a couple of small drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in a gorgeous town, just a stone's throw from the ancient city. The spacious rooms are beautifully decorated, and the gardens are a lovely escape. However, the service could use some improvement, particularly for English-speaking guests, and dining was a mixed bag. It's definitely a place for taking in stunning views, but prepare for some service hiccups.
