This hotel is the highlight of our short stay in Lijiang. The hotel itself is a form of art in landscaping and architecture. A quiet, exquisite, and relaxing oasis just five mins walk away from the Suhe Old Town. The whole staff team is so kind and helpful. Our family of four (incl. elderly parents) enjoyed the wonderful food options, spa, and various hotel activities here. If I ever come back to Lijiang, I will def still stay here.

Best Customer Service
Our trip to Yunnan wouldn‘t have been made pefect without the stay in Banyan Tree Lijiang. The credit must go to the staff, Elin. Elin is always courteous and responsive. She has been very helpful all the time. She is also very caring and always checks with us to see if we have any need. We stayed there for a couple of nights and then went to other places of Yunnan. On the very last day of our trip, we went back to stay there. Elin went out her way to prepare a better villa for us. Even though she wasn’t on roster on the day we were there, she made sure that other staff were aware of what to do. When compared to other 5 star hotels (including other countries), this is the best customer service we have ever come across. Elin‘s service has made Banjan Tree Lijang stand out.

Best place to stay to relax.
I had a most restful time and was so pampered by the attentive and helpful staff. The house-keeping team ensured that I lacked nothing and anticipated my needs, the servers at breakfast, particularly Fancy Yuen, remembers how I liked my coffee and makes it each day for me.

A relaxing stay at Banyan tree Lijiang
Banyan tree Lijiang is a lovely resort close to Shuhe old town. The architecture of the resort has an ancient look with Jade dragon snow mountain as their backdrop. Convenient location to visit Lijiang’s attraction. After a day’s touring around, you can soak in their soothing spa to iron away the aching muscles. Me and my daughter had a lovely time staying there.

Amazingly Beautiful
This is the best high end hotel I've ever stayed at. It's beautiful and makes you feel really special. The in-room dining BBQ is very fun. The only downsides are that the staff don't speak English very well, and that the hotel tours and treks are 3 times the price of what you'd get if you just negotiated with a local driver.

The best part of the stay was waking up to the view of beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - virtually at the foot of the bed. I believe that all the suites in the hotel have this view.

clean room, decent staff, but a bit far
hotel was very well maintained, in a spacious area with a spectacular view of the mountain. the room was very clean and spacious. the hotel staff was courteous but helpful. however, the bar hostess did not speak much english so it was a bit difficult to communicate. location is very far from city center so it's a hassle going in and out of the hotel to the city center. otherwise, a great place to find tranquility in an already tranquil city.

The best hotel with nicest service i have ever been to! It may be a little bit different if you cant speak chinese, as some of the personal cant speak that good english! But for me the stay was perfect! Dont take the normal room, go for a villa! The night was just beautiful. You can open up your bedroom, looking over your pool... The clouds, the plants, everything is moving. Plus you have a nice stereo system and i had an amazing cd in it! Try it, you wont regret!

丽江悦榕庄景色很美,酒店就像个大园林,很让人放松。虽然是老酒店,但设施并不感觉老旧,维护比黄山悦榕庄好多了。 定的泡池别墅,酒店早早消毒并准备好了泡池。出去古城步行了一天后泡泡别提多惬意了。 服务也很贴心,工作人员很多很淳朴热情,前台的Nancy和餐厅的Fancy都给了我们很多帮助!
