InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort, an IHG Hotel

The location - our room was just a minute into ancient city and into ZhongYi market. The room - good and spacious and a sliding door to separate living area and bedroom. The compound - very tranquil and fantastic landscaping. The architecture - beautiful. The staff - very friendly and helpful from housekeeping to buggy staff to front desk.

This hotel is absolutely splendid. It occupies an area as large as a neighbourhood. It's right within Lijiang Ancient Town, possibly the most beautiful old town in China. There's a main building with the lobby, the restaurants, the cafe and the spa but the rooms are scattered around the property is small pavilions. I got a free upgrade to a Premium Room which was the most beautifully decorated hotel room I've ever had. The room was spacious, very quiet and had everything I needed. I felt that the bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. There was a bathtub and a shower in the room. A room of this quality would cost around 1800 € in Europe. The choice at breakfast was huge. Overall this is a luxury hotel, well above the average of the worldwide five-star standards, yet you would need to pay considerably more for this quality almost anywhere in the world.

Location was perfect for visiting the ancient town. Breakfast was good. The layout of the hotel was interesting and liked that there were several entrances into the old town. Staff were attentive especially Kokole (? spelling) who cleaned the three rooms we occupied. On the last night, she even left the door to the safe opened as a reminder that I had items in the safe. Very thoughtful. The hotel compound was beautiful and well maintained. Shame there were no balconies to sit and view the gardens from the upstairs rooms.

Beautiful elegant property that is very oriental, reflects ancient china architecture. Staff at front desk is friendly, and the staff at the asian restaurant is very friendly- i have to mention Winnie, the restaurant staff who served us who is extremely pleasant, friendly and courteous! She made us feel very comfortable and welcomed, and was very observant that my partner and i preferred vegetables to meat/seafood when we had our tomyum buffet(which is excellent, comparable to Singapore’s standard), and served extra basket of vegetables. She gave us a free pizza on her own accord because it took them 15 mins to serve us buffet although honestly it wasn’t long?!? Their porters, front desk staff were so helpful!! One of them (i cant remember his name) took the extra effort to help us book e- tickets to yu long xue shan, when we didn’t know we had to do so in advance via baidu app. Will definitely be back again, if i come back to Lijiang.

The hotel is spacious and decorate beautifully. The room is large, elegant and stay comfortably. Service is great esp. one (Rebecca) in Chinese restaurant she's very kind and helpful.
