About the Hotel
8.2Average Rating
There's something quietly remarkable about waking up to a panoramic view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from your bed. The InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort earns its place among China's finest hotels through a genuine commitment to place — the architecture draws directly from traditional Nakhi courtyard design, with warm timber beams, stone pathways, and layered rooflines that feel rooted in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. The surrounding greenery softens the transition between indoors and out, while the heated indoor pool offers year-round respite regardless of what the mountain weather decides to do.
The rooms are generously proportioned and decorated in the kind of warm, earthy tones that make you want to stay in rather than rush out. Large bathrooms come fitted with both deep soaking tubs and separate rainfall showers — a small luxury that registers immediately after a full day of exploring the ancient town's cobblestone lanes. Free Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, and DVD players round out the practical side of things, though it's the views that will hold your attention longest.
Eating here is genuinely worth your time. The 7 Colors Chinese Restaurant serves local Lijiang specialties alongside Yunnan, Cantonese, and Sichuan cooking — the small-pot rice noodles and yak milk yogurt alone justify a meal. For something lighter, Basil Leaf covers both Asian and Western options, while Club InterContinental is a civilized spot to work through a glass of wine or a cigar after dark. Between meals, the Tea Tree Spa handles everything from deep tissue massage to facials, the gym offers personal training sessions, and the tour desk can arrange excursions throughout one of China's most historically rich regions.
