Hotels in Shangri-La

"A great place to stay in Banna"

"It was good in very good condition and just in the city center with many place to hang out around the hotel "

"This is a very spacious place, the room is well decorated and staffs are very friendly. They even offer airport pickup and drop off for free. The breakfast selection is very limited but the food is exactly how you cook in a traditional Chinese way. We would come again if we ever visit Lijiang again."

"Extraordinary view. The host is excellent and welcoming!"

"We spent one night before flying out of China. The staff were very helpful and friendly despite our language barrier. They also arranged transportation to the airport. Breakfast offered American as well as Chinese options. "

"Fantastic property. Nice amenities and services"

"Great hotel at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it."

"I had a wonderful stay at Banyan tree Lijiang. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great during my stay. Nevertheless, the hotel and facilities were amazing! Abby, Coco and Xiao Tang at the reception were also amazing and made us all feel so welcome!"

"Tucked away in a tiny village, this hotel is a true escape where the only sounds you hear are those of nature. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recover from the fatigue of high-altitude travel—peaceful, refreshing, and deeply calming. The property itself is expansive, set on beautiful grounds with a flowing river and a scenic lawn. I stayed in a stunning two-story detached Tibetan-style cottage, beautifully designed with an eye for detail and cultural authenticity—it was both luxurious and inspiring. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. One of the highlights of my stay was the meaningful conversations I had with them; they shared fascinating insights about local religion and traditions, adding a rich cultural layer to the experience. A truly special stay that nourishes both body and spirit. "

"This place was so cute! A little inn tucked away at the eve of the Lijiang Ancient town. So well maintained by a family I think, and the complementary breakfast was so quaint and prepared by the managers mother I think. To get here you have to climb some steep olden times stairs, so if you do need help the staff are incredibly helpful here. The external doors are locked late but worth asking when as we had a wedding and had to wake the manager to let us in - we felt very sheepish after that!"

"Place is beautiful and clean. Staffs were very helpful "

"I loved everything about this hotel, from room types, and best customer service. Recommended that others visit this, and I can assure you that they will never regret it."

"Beautiful place with beautiful view "

"This beautiful little hotel is built around a small courtyard that gives the feeling of a traditional Chinese home, with beautiful old woodwork and lattice bannisters and windows. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, and the bathroom is large, with a self-flushing toilet. While the building is not soundproof, it is quiet at night. The ‘extras’ in this hotel include a nice deck for guests to sit and enjoy the wonderful container-garden with flowers and succulents. There is also a washing machine and racks, so travellers can wash their clothes without extra cost. The host is extremely helpful and offers free pickup from train station or airport as well as drop-off. Breakfast vouchers are for a Chinese buffet a few meters down the road; (another hotel cafe across the street offers espresso coffees.) Note: the Expedia map is a bit ‘off’: this hotel is located within the Ancient City, which is car-free, so luggage must be walked or rolled across old cobble stones for quite a distance, but the host is very helpful with this."

"Staff helpful and friendly. Facility is nice."

"I had an excellent stay overnight en route to my final destination. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was wonderfully comfortable. The lady at reception was really helpful to point me to the train station instead of a taxi for my final destination- much more comfortable ride and much less expensive. She also arranged a taxi for me to the station. "

"Chief Concierge, Mark Qi is really supportive and helpful. He assist to make our journey beautiful."

"La Maison offers a warm, homelike retreat with cozy, thoughtfully decorated rooms. Each room has plush bedding, new Dyson appliances, and personal touches like fresh fruit and a relaxing bath tub. Some rooms even feature a fireplace, adding an extra touch of warmth. The staff is attentive and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything from local tips to extra comforts. Mornings begin with a delicious breakfast of homemade pastries, noodles, vegetables, fresh fruit and more, creating a family-style start to the day. The inviting common area, with overstuffed couches and hot tea tables, is perfect for relaxing. La Maison feels like home away from home."

"Very nice hotel and good service."

"Took me a bit of effort to find so do your navigation before arriving. Baidu map didn't help as it point me to the opposite side near the south entrance. Otherwise, great place and service"

"The front desk staff was very customer friendly and went an extra mile by driving me to the nearby pharmacy to buy medicine for my constipation upon my arrival. I really appreciate her kind consideration and work ethic. "

"Staff were very friendly and recommended a few nearby restaurants serving Lijiang specialities. We informed them that we had to leave very early the next morning, before their breakfast timing. They were so kind to prepare a pot of coffee and a packed bag of breakfast items for us. "
