Romantic Hotels in Dali City

This guesthouse offers a fantastic experience! As soon as you step through the main gate, you're greeted by a charming garden with beautiful flowers and plants. Plus, there are 10 cats and 2 dogs to play with. The room itself is spacious and tidy, and they've added some really thoughtful touches like a foot bath tub, a clothes dryer, complimentary fruit and snacks, and a direct drinking water dispenser 👍. There's also a laundry room on the rooftop (with both a washer and dryer) and a drying area. I highly recommend staying here when you visit Dali! [Awesome]

You can enjoy the beautiful Erhai Lake right from the hotel. The view outside is just as stunning as Longkan Wharf and the popular 'S' Bay, so there's no need to go anywhere else once you're here. There are even local photographers outside who can take great pictures. The hotel staff are excellent, and in the afternoon, they offer complimentary mini desserts like flower cakes, Pu'er wine, and a variety of beverages. The public areas are spacious, and the breakfast spread is fantastic, with both Chinese and Western options. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied!

The moment I opened the door, I was instantly wowed. The view of Erhai Lake from the room is absolutely spectacular — photos can only capture about 70% of its beauty. In person, it's a hundred times more stunning. . The room is extremely comfortable, with a well-designed bathroom layout featuring separate areas for the toilet, shower, and vanity, plus a beautiful soaking tub. Every amenity in the room is perfect and of very high quality — especially the toilet, which comes with both a bidet spray and a fully automatic function. . The bed is incredibly soft. After a full day of sightseeing on foot, I slept like a log — and a relaxing warm soak beforehand made it even better. . Upon arrival, afternoon tea and snacks were served, which was such a lovely way to unwind after the journey. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful in every way. . Breakfast includes noodle soup and congee, along with fruit, hot dogs, and yogurt. . The hotel also offers airport and train station transfers, which is very convenient. . The location is not far from attractions such as Santorini and other nearby sights. . For getting around Erhai Lake, renting a car to explore at your own pace is the most efficient option. If you don't have a rental, you can use Didi (ride-hailing) or take the sightseeing bus — though with the bus, you can only board and alight at designated stops. . One more tip: Didi is available around Erhai Lake until quite late at night and can drop you right at the hotel, so don't worry if you want to stay out a little longer before heading back. ---

The room facilities are great, and there's a big balcony where you can enjoy views of Cangshan Mountain. You can even see the Three Pagodas from the rooftop. The landlady is very friendly, and the breakfast she personally prepares is excellent, especially the large fried dough sticks. She also arranged for us to be picked up from the station. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

This was my first time in Dali, and I booked the 'Lisha Seaview Suite' near Xiaguan Dali Port. The butler service was incredibly attentive. After confirming my arrival, a private car picked me up when I reached Dali. Upon arrival, the room was very comfortable, offering a breathtaking 180-degree view of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. The mini-bar was complimentary. Xingsheng Bridge was also visible from the room. Both bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms, and the study even had a mattress, so it could accommodate an extra person. Breakfast was served until 12 PM on the 29th floor. Even at 11 PM, we could still order rice noodles. If breakfast wasn't available on the 29th floor, the butler would arrange for room service. My stay was extremely comfortable. When going out, it was also very convenient to catch a taxi right outside the complex.

Facilities: The facilities are comprehensive, the bed is very comfortable, and the lighting is beautiful. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: You can watch the sunrise by just pulling back the curtains. The garden outside is lovely, and the overall layout is very aesthetically pleasing. Every spot is perfect for photos, surrounded by beautiful flowers. Service: They helped us with our luggage, recommended delicious food, and cooked breakfast. Both the auntie and the owner were very thoughtful.

This B&B in Shuanglang truly offers 'sea-view freedom' – I never wanted to leave! The room's arched large window acts as a natural frame, making every photo look amazing. The natural light in the room is wonderfully soothing, and the minimalist wooden furnishings create a cozy atmosphere. Just curling up on the window-side sofa and zoning out is incredibly therapeutic. Opening the window reveals the Erhai Lake right before your eyes, with the water, distant mountains, and clouds spread out in a breathtaking vista. In the afternoon, we'd set out some tea and snacks on the terrace and simply sit there, enjoying the breeze off the lake for hours, without a single worry. As evening fell, watching the sunset paint over the lake was truly magical. Waking up naturally each day and drawing open the curtains to reveal the entire sea – now *that's* the relaxed vibe Dali should have.

We absolutely loved our stay at Shanyuyishe Boutique B&B in Dali Ancient City. The location was perfect for us — tucked away in a peaceful corner near Dali Ancient City, yet only a short walk to the shops, cafés, and attractions. What truly made the stay special was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, helping us with our luggage, preparing breakfast every morning, and always making sure we were comfortable. The breakfast was simple but delicious, especially the rice noodles, which we looked forward to each morning. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially loved the beautiful courtyard and the overall peaceful atmosphere. A couple of things to note for families and travellers with larger luggage. The beautiful courtyard has a koi pond running through parts of it, which adds to the charm, but I was constantly keeping an eye on my kids as I was worried they might accidentally fall in. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it’s something parents with young children may want to be aware of. Another consideration is luggage. Vehicles can stop near the property, but you’ll still need to carry your luggage across parts of the courtyard. If you’re staying on Levels 2 or 3, there is no lift, so luggage has to be carried up manually. The owner was kind enough to help us, but it’s still worth considering if you’re travelling with multiple large suitcases. For our family room, one small downside was that although the room was very spacious, there was only one air-conditioner serving the entire unit. The smaller bedroom felt a little stuffy and warm at night. That said, the owner was very responsive and quickly provided us with a fan the next day, which made a huge difference and solved the issue for us. Overall, the warmth of the host, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and peaceful setting far outweighed these minor inconveniences. We’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy and authentic stay in Dali. ❤️🏔️✨

Nestled in Shuanglang Ancient Town beside Erhai Lake, this beautiful hotel's location was a pleasant surprise. Situated on Yuji Island, you can enjoy the shimmering waters of Erhai Lake from a lounge chair on the terrace – a tranquil oasis right at your doorstep. The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the hotel is filled with thoughtfully designed gardens and charming details, including a rooftop terrace perfect for photos! Beautiful scenery, the vibrant colors of Yunnan! Thank you to the butler for the attentive service! This is my first review on Ctrip, and I genuinely think this hotel is excellent! While my experience exploring Dali Ancient City was rather lukewarm, this hotel left a lasting impression.

Extremely satisfied with this hotel! I only booked one night, but they even created a dedicated service chat group to send check-in instructions and local tips. The staff were very enthusiastic and helped with our luggage. They offered so many complimentary services, like fresh flower cakes and drinks – when I didn't come to pick them up, they even delivered them to my room. The hotel has a great design aesthetic, with a beautiful courtyard garden. The unobstructed sea view from the rooftop is perfect for 'once-in-a-lifetime' photos. The travel photography service they partner with is also excellent, or maybe it's just that the scenery is so beautiful and my outfit was on point! The beachfront scenery near the hotel is lovely, and it's a short taxi ride from Shuanglang Ancient Town. I'll definitely recommend this place to friends visiting Dali, and I'd love to stay longer next time.
