Boutique Hotels in Yunnan, China

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! I usually go for the complimentary hotel options with my layovers, but choosing this one, even for under 100 RMB, was a real win. It's incredibly clean, spacious, and super convenient with its proximity to the airport and free shuttle service. They even gave us complimentary flower cakes, which were delicious! Honestly, I can't find a single fault. Service: 5/5 stars! The shuttle service to and from Changshui Airport was excellent. The driver was so helpful, loading and unloading everyone's luggage. What struck me was that hardly anyone thanked him. It felt… I don't even know how to describe it. I made sure to say thank you, and the driver responded, which really touched me. I mean, isn't a simple 'thank you' just basic courtesy, even if it's part of their job? It doesn't cost anything, but it can certainly make someone feel appreciated.

I haven't stayed at Atour many times, but I chose this Atour for my first night in Kunming, mainly because of its excellent location. It's very close to Kunming Station and near Kunming Old Street, so I could explore the night scenery there. The parking lot is on the fourth floor across the street. You have to carry your luggage down to the first floor, cross the street, take an elevator to the seventh floor, and then reach the Atour front desk, which was a bit inconvenient. The room wasn't very big, and both the bed and duvet felt a bit small. However, all the facilities and equipment were brand new. I'm particular about the comfort of shower facilities, and they proved to be excellent, even better than those at the InterContinental Kunming where I stayed later. The congee in the evening was thick and delicious, very refreshing. The gym, though small, was fully equipped, and they even placed a bottle of water on each piece of equipment, showing great attention to detail. While breakfast wasn't particularly lavish, the staff were exceptionally good. Even when they announced that they were about to close, they were still refilling depleted food items, which many hotels costing thousands wouldn't necessarily do. Overall, after this short stay, I'm very satisfied with Atour; I feel like I've become a fan.

Both the hotel's service and environment are top-notch. The front desk staff were warm, attentive, and provided thoughtful service. It's located right opposite the city center, which makes shopping, leisure, and taking a stroll incredibly convenient. The room was spacious and elegant, clean and fresh. It was very comfortable and roomy to stay in, and I'm extremely satisfied.

As a loyal IHG member, I've stayed at over 10 InterContinental hotels in different regions, but the delightful experience at InterContinental Kunming genuinely impressed me! The hotel boasts an elegant environment, feeling like a sprawling resort park. It's incredibly photogenic, and the location is superb, just a 10-minute walk from Dianchi Lake. The path along the way is lush and green, perfect for taking bread to feed the seagulls in the morning. Breakfast was quite extensive, but with many guests due to the holiday, we opted for the Executive Lounge (à la carte + buffet). The Executive Lounge at InterContinental Kunming served the best food I've ever had! For dinner, besides the usual stir-fries, there were fish, shrimp, and various small cakes. Normally, I only take a tiny bite of cakes at buffets, but these cakes clearly used quality ingredients and had a rich, lingering flavor – I could easily eat several! Even the complimentary drinks for IHG members could be customized into fancy concoctions, and their taste rivaled Starbucks! (As a foodie, these are the details I notice.) The rooms were standard and perfectly adequate. The IHG Rewards Club front desk, the Executive Lounge, and all the service staff I encountered at the hotel were polite and provided excellent service. I stayed at many luxury hotels in different cities during my Yunnan trip, but for overall experience and value for money, I give InterContinental Kunming a perfect score! 💯

A great weekend!! Caught up with Mother's Day, I took my mother to rest for a day. I felt super relaxed from the moment I entered the hotel. The environment is beautiful and the green vegetation covers a large area. Before check-in, Miss Niki (?) contacted and arranged a room upgrade. I am super grateful🥹You can see the jacaranda and blue sky outside from the balcony and feel the wind. The quality of the double breakfast and lunch rice noodle set in the set is absolutely impeccable. There are various snacks. You can try all kinds of small bowls. Paoruda is the best😋The lemon and sour spicy chicken feet in the set are super delicious. I also went to the Chinese restaurant to take a portion home before leaving. Thanks to every staff member I met, including but not limited to Brother Cai Liping at the front desk, Brother Gu Dezhong in the Western restaurant, and a small but energetic lady in the Chinese restaurant (I met her at noon on 5.9/10). I hope I didn’t write everyone’s name wrong🙈 See you next time! ! Definitely come again!

Facilities: The facilities are comprehensive, and the air conditioning/heating works very well. Since we checked in during winter, there was an electric blanket on the bed. Disposable amenities were also plentiful. Plus, the surrounding transportation is convenient. Cleanliness: The hygiene is excellent, especially the bathroom – no unpleasant odors and very clean. Environment: It's very quiet. Whether sunbathing in the courtyard during the day or resting at night, it's very comfortable. The tea room is also beautiful, and the owner even made tea for us. 🥰 Service: The service is super good. The owner contacted us in advance, sent the location, and helped us with our luggage. They were also very enthusiastic and thoughtful in giving us travel advice and reminded us to be careful not to get ripped off in tourist areas. We stayed at this guesthouse for half of our time in Lijiang, and it was a fantastic experience, completely exceeding our expectations. Five-star recommendation!

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Kunming Railway Station, with Wanda Plaza nearby – super convenient! It's perfect for a stopover in Kunming before traveling to other cities in Yunnan. **Facilities:** Well-equipped. **Cleanliness:** Clean and hygienic. **Environment:** The environment is great, and the decor is beautiful; the marble finish really appealed to me! **Service:** Warm and attentive. The breakfast was also delicious, refined, and plentiful!

The front desk staff were incredibly friendly! They gave my mom and me a welcome rose each, which was a lovely touch and brightened our day. Seeing that I had two children, they thoughtfully provided two sets of kids' toiletries. All the other front desk staff were super nice too! The doorman at the entrance was also fantastic, promptly helping us with our luggage. The housekeeping staff were very kind and friendly as well. In my parents' room, they noticed the fruit wasn't fresh and specifically changed it out for fresh fruit from the day. In the evening, there was even peach gum sweet soup for a late-night snack, and any requests for room service were attended to promptly. Service definitely gets a perfect score! However, the room space was a bit small, and the overall facilities were relatively old. The bathroom exhaust fan seemed to be out of order, and the weighing scale was broken. There wasn't a separate shower, so we had to shower in the bathtub, which was a bit inconvenient (especially not very friendly for older guests). But these minor issues didn't overshadow the experience. The hotel's location is unbeatable, directly facing Cuihu Park. You step out and you're right in front of a scenic spot, with different attractions and various eateries conveniently located on both sides. On the night we stayed, we even stumbled upon the Cui Sheng Sheng Music Corner right outside the hotel, and this wonderful musical encounter made our night even more beautiful. My trip to Kunming was just fantastic! This time, it was just a one-night stay as a transit stop, but next time, I must specifically plan to stay in Kunming for several days.

My stay at the MGallery Dongfengyun Hotel in Mile was a delightful surprise overall. First, the most striking impression: the environment is truly exceptional. The design is unique, beautifully integrating local artistic flair. Both the public areas and the rooms feel incredibly comfortable and relaxing. The service was also spot on; the staff were warm and responsive, always quick to help with any requests. The hotel's proximity to the Dongfengyun scenic area is a huge plus. They even offer free shuttle buggy service, making trips to and from the attraction convenient and hassle-free. However, a minor drawback is its somewhat secluded location. There aren't many decent restaurants nearby, so finding food outside the hotel can be a bit inconvenient. Fortunately, the hotel's own dining options are quite good, with a satisfying variety and taste, so eating on-site was a good experience. One more thing to mention is the hotel's complimentary photography service. They offer 5 free photos, but if you want more, you have to pay extra, and the prices are quite high. It didn't feel like great value for money, and I honestly think it would be better and more cost-effective to hire a freelance photographer beforehand. This was a bit disappointing. Overall, considering the fantastic environment, excellent service, and convenient location near the scenic area, it's highly recommended, especially for those looking for a quiet getaway and planning to focus their visit on the Dongfengyun area.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights when we first arrived in Lijiang, then after one night at a B&B, we came back. For the first two nights, we had a suite, and the hotel arranged a room with a partial view of the snowy mountains, which was great. For the last night, we booked a deluxe snow view room, and the view was indeed better and more direct. In the morning, you could watch the 'Golden Mountain in the Sunrise' right from the balcony. The room was also spacious enough, with a reasonable layout, perfectly suited for us traveling with a child and lots of luggage. The hotel staff were very enthusiastic; someone came to help with our luggage right at the entrance and even delivered it to our room. The front desk staff were also very efficient with check-in, and the breakfast staff helped us find a table. All in all, it was a very good experience.
