Dali City Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"Had a truly healing night in Dali! The floor-to-ceiling windows in the room perfectly framed Erhai Lake like a painting. Waking up to the expansive views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake was incredible; even the cloudy weather felt gentle. The room itself had a sophisticated wabi-sabi minimalist style, with earthy-toned walls, warm ambient lighting, and a huge scenic bathtub. Soaking in the tub while watching the sea at night melted all my fatigue away. The bedding was incredibly soft – once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. The service was also very attentive."

"The location is right in the ancient city, and underground parking is convenient. There are also many great restaurants nearby, and best of all, it's not noisy. I especially want to mention the service. On the day of check-in, they proactively contacted me to give parking instructions and highlight important details, and helped recommend good places to eat and fun things to do nearby. After checking out, I forgot an item, and they immediately helped me retrieve it."

"Overall, it's a great place! It's located on a slope, and the front desk upgraded us to a full sea-view room overlooking Erhai Lake. There's a restaurant nearby with good food, and for breakfast, you can choose between Chinese and Western options. It takes about 35 minutes to get to Dali Ancient City. The swimming pool would be great in summer, and the kids even did some crafts, led by a very patient teacher!"

"Qinglv Liushui Wangyue · Qiyun Room | Sleeping by Erhai Lake, living within a flowing green landscape🌿 🌊 Location and Environment: A tranquil waterside retreat amidst the bustling city This hotel is nestled within the vibrant atmosphere of Dali Xiaguan, yet it feels like a world of its own. Lively streets, delicious eateries, and convenient supermarkets are all within easy reach. However, stepping into the hotel instantly transports you away from the hustle and bustle, leaving only the gentle gurgle of the courtyard stream and the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze. The panoramic rooftop terrace and the viewing platforms in each room are my personal hidden gems. —During the day, I watched the waves of Erhai Lake; in the evening, I waited for the sunset's blue hour; at night, I gazed up at the starry sky. Every photo I took here was stunning, no filter needed. ✨ Qiyun Room Type: A healing space to watch the sea from bed The design of the Qiyun room perfectly blends 'luxury' with 'relaxation'. - Absolutely stunning views: The large floor-to-ceiling window acts like a flowing painting. Waking up in the morning, I could watch the mist over Erhai Lake slowly dissipate without even getting out of bed. Even just zoning out became a pleasure. - Impeccable details: Soft music played from the Marshall speaker, and the bedding was so soft it felt like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away the fatigue of a day's travel. The large bathtub faced the window, and soaking in a hot bath while watching the clouds drift by made time seem to slow down. The full set of L'Occitane toiletries and the automatic heated smart toilet – every detail showed thoughtful care, making for a reassuring and comfortable stay. 🤍 Service and Experience: A journey enveloped in warmth From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was touched by the attentive service. - The staff proactively helped with luggage and guided me through check-in, even carefully asking about my afternoon tea preferences. When returning late, the front desk would greet me with a warm smile and a cup of hot milk, which truly warmed my heart. - The timed meals provided by the hotel were an even bigger surprise: breakfast included freshly made rice noodles and exquisite pastries, the afternoon tea desserts were perfectly sweet without being cloying, and the 'goodnight sweet soup' before bed was a gentle ritual unique to Dali. 💡 Summary: A healing sanctuary you won't want to leave In the Qiyun room at Qinglv Liushui Wangyue, time seemed to flow differently. There was no need to rush itineraries or worry about trivial matters. I simply fell asleep to the sound of Erhai's waves and woke up to the morning glow of Cangshan Mountain, living each day like a poem amidst the flowing water and moonlight. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind and relax, or to capture stunning photos that will flood your social media, this is the perfect choice for Dali. The next time I visit Dali, I will definitely choose Qinglv again for another gentle rendezvous with Erhai Lake."

"Excellent!

I'll choose this place again next time! 2. **Service-focused version:** The front desk service was warm and attentive, and check-in was very quick. The breakfast had a rich variety and tasted good. The location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around. It was a very satisfying stay. 3. **Detail-focused version:** Better than expected! The room had great natural light, complete facilities, and good sound insulation. The staff were very polite, making for a comfortable stay. I'd definitely recommend it to friends!"

"This absolutely deserves a 5️⃣-star plus rating! I only stayed one night because I was in Dali for two days, but I'll definitely choose it again next time. The location is great, very close to the airport and high-speed rail station, about 20 minutes away. Facilities: Excellent! They have everything – a projector, bathtub, a balcony with a prime sea view, a hairdryer, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find an iron too. The hairdryer is a Dyson, which was really good. Another even bigger surprise was that you don't need to bring clothes for travel photography; downstairs, they have Yi and Bai ethnic costumes, and long-sleeved dresses in various colors, even with trains, all perfect for photoshoots and all provided for free. Cleanliness: Very clean. The butler, restaurant staff, and cleaning aunties not only provide excellent service and have great attitudes but also work meticulously and keep everything spotless. Environment: The owner has nurtured many beautiful flowers and succulents for 6-7 years. There's a lovely small garden, swings, a swimming pool, a piano, a rooftop afternoon tea area, and even a sailboat⛵️. On the day we checked in, we planned to go sightseeing, but we ended up taking photos at the hotel until 7:30 PM! The owner is very accommodating and even provided airport transfer services."

"The overall environment is great, and the location is super convenient. It's only a 10-minute walk to the Old Town Night Market. It was really easy to grab late-night snacks or order takeout with my friends. Even though my room faced the street, it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The service was excellent. The staff were quick to help with luggage and gave us a good overview of the hotel facilities. The hotel is quite large with many recreational areas. They even gave us a tie-dye souvenir, some snacks, and calming tea – very impressed! As for facilities, there's a mahjong room, a swimming pool, and a gym. There are also plenty of tables and beautiful, high-end decor. It’s perfect for taking photos with friends in the common areas or just sitting down to chat and play cards."

"I actually saw the Dingdal effect of Cangshan and Bohai when I lay down in this homestay room. It was really a surprise! The overall homestay is very exquisite and modern design style. The public area is very rich. The photo is beyond the film. It has a small and beautiful garden and a cafe public area. Sitting on the garden lounge chair and blowing the sea breeze, you can feel a very pleasant holiday atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, very clean and hygienic, the bathroom is clean and tidy, and it is also equipped with disinfectant wipes. The details are full and the facilities are very new. In addition, the breakfast included in the store is also very authentic local rice noodles and bait silk. The menu is not the same every day. The freshly baked Yunnan small coffee is very mellow and full; every afternoon, there is also a exquisite afternoon tea break with Bai flavor, which is super plus points! ! ! The exclusive butler service response is also very fast. In short, this store I chose this time is really closed. I will definitely come back next time I come to Dali! Facilities: Complete"

"Booked online, getting here from Dali Railway Station was super convenient. The hotel is right by Erhai Lake and it's incredibly peaceful. The hotel's design is exceptional, the lobby is truly stunning with its captivating seagull motif. The vast expanse of Erhai Lake stretches out endlessly before you. The service was also top-notch; I received several calls from the butler in advance, making me feel right at home. Breakfast was incredibly rich and satisfying, I didn't even need lunch! Our room on the 8th floor was amazing, offering breathtaking views of Erhai Lake and the clouds as one. We just wanted to relax, drink tea, and chill out; we didn't even feel like visiting any of the popular tourist spots. We'll definitely be back to stay here again! 🎊🎊🎈🎈🌻🌻👍👍 A special shout-out to Hugo's Yunnan restaurant downstairs – the food was genuinely delicious. I ate there several times, haha! Can't wait to go back and eat there again next time 🌱🌱"

"Excellent! I highly recommend staying here. The owners are incredibly welcoming and the environment is beautiful. You can even see Cangshan Mountain from upstairs! It's very close to the South Gate and quiet at night, perfect for sleeping. There are balconies on both the first and second floors where you can relax and sunbathe. Plus, there's a swimming pool!"
