Scenic Hotels in Shangri-La

"Location= Wonderful. At the heart of ancient town with accessible halal food nearby. No need to worry about carrying heavy luggage across cobblestone pavement since owner fetch you from train station free of charge Room= Wonderful. I have to say the most feature packed room I have ever been with little money. Expensive looking bathtub overlooking the mountain, effective heater and heated floor, bedside oxygen, Dyson like blower even a room projector. Staff = Wonderful. Going out of the way to make you feel welcome. Fetch you from train station at night, helping with the tour, settling your luggage etc etc. Tried their hardest to please you although with language barrier."

"the homestay is so good and pretty (nice choice of color combination)! the facilities provided in the room is so good and top notch! good technology especially the modern toilet, took my time to play with the toilet bowl using the remote (haha). the beds also have heating mattress which I only remember the morning we checked out T___T. I suffered the cold for 2 nights for nothing, lol. everything is good and nice. the owner will chat through WeChat beforehand. a very friendly and warm hearted owner. the place is just around the dukezhong ancient town and it is easy for us to stroll around. also no problem for people who carry a lot of luggages as the car can reach the gate/door of the homestay! overall, recommended!"

"We chartered a car from Lijiang to Shangri-La. Sister Zhuoma and her handsome husband were waiting there early. Entering the moonlit night was like opening Pandora's box. The traditional style of the room amazed us❗️The bed was so comfortable. I immediately had the most peaceful sleep on the trip. Sister Zhuoma and her family were very hospitable. They took out their treasured ******* clothes for my son to change into. Any photo inside the homestay was very photogenic! We were also lost in the welcome home and almost forgot to buy tickets home. Hahaha. This time, time is limited. Next time, I will take my family to find Sister Zhuoma and the ******* Mastiff in Sister Zhuoma's heart."

"This is the great place to stay. They have oxygen generator, air humidifier, heater, as well as electric banklet. These will help you get well sleep during a chill night, especially electric banklet. There is a complementary round-trip train station transfer. Breakfast is nice."

"Let's talk about the location first. It's 4 minutes drive from the Sun Observation Deck. You can get to the observation deck in the morning to see the morning fog at Songzanlin Temple. Although it's not far from the roadside, it's not noisy at all. You can't hear the sound of cars on the road. Environment. There is an independent yard and a big black dog guarding the house. It's very safe and clean. There are fitness equipment and a billiard table on the first floor. The public area is quite large. Rooms. Look at the pictures. Very cost-effective. Parking is convenient. You can park in the yard. There are also several parking spaces outside the gate. There is also a simple ******* breakfast in the morning. The boss is also very nice. When I arrived, he said that there are rooms with floor heating of the same type. If you are afraid of the cold at night, you can upgrade for free. Overall, it's a good review!"

"The ambiance was exceptionally comfortable. My child's first words upon arriving were, 'Can we stay two more days?' 😂 **Service:** The young lady at the front desk was incredibly warm and helpful. She assisted with transfers to/from the station, suggested places to visit, and the hotel offers various partnered services. They helped us book a Tusi banquet and arranged private car services, which saved us a lot of hassle. **Altitude Sickness Relief: In-room Oxygen Concentrators:** I simply *must* highlight this! Before arriving, I had already developed altitude sickness after climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang. On the second night of our stay, I had a headache, and my blood oxygen level was consistently below 90. My wife inquired at the front desk that evening, and it turns out their rooms are equipped with professional oxygen concentrators. It was incredibly convenient; I just used it for a while when I felt unwell, and by the next day, I was perfectly fine. Huge thanks to the low-key young owner! 😁 Furthermore, we only found out as we were leaving that the owner and their family are incredibly unassuming yet influential figures. I'll leave it as a mystery; you'll have to guess yourselves when you visit! 😁"

"We opted for the Shangri-La Hotel for our first day in Shangri-La, primarily as a base to prepare for our journey to Meili on the third day. Anticipating potential altitude sickness, we wanted a comfortable place to rest and easy access to other areas. My travel companion, in particular, was keen to avoid dragging luggage through the narrow streets of the Old Town. Considering all these factors, the Shangri-La Hotel was our definitive choice. My only minor concern was the absence of diffused oxygen in the rooms. As we were staying for consecutive nights, the hotel offered complimentary airport and train station shuttle services. The hotel proactively reconfirmed our flight the day before arrival, and our departure shuttle service was equally seamless. As expected from a well-established five-star hotel, the service quality was impeccable. Every staff member was remarkably courteous and polite, whether in the lobby, restaurant, or even in the room hallways. The room itself wasn't overly spacious but featured a minimalist ******* design. It offered a distant view of Songzanlin Monastery, which I specifically chose. My thought was that if altitude sickness confined me, I could at least enjoy the scenery from the room. If you prefer not to venture out, the lobby itself is a beautiful and very photogenic spot, perfect for taking pictures everywhere. Housekeeping was meticulous, though the bathroom lighting was a touch dim. The room also thoughtfully provided extra duvets and blankets. We had both our dinners at the hotel's buffet. For just over 100 RMB, the buffet dinner offered an excellent selection of dishes. While not extensive in variety, the quality was consistently high. I particularly enjoyed the salmon and herring roe; sashimi lovers would be very pleased. Generally, if a hotel's dinner buffet is good, their breakfast tends to be excellent too. True to form, I especially loved the savory butter tea and croissants. In summary, my primary goal in Shangri-La was altitude acclimatization. I wanted a comfortable retreat within the hotel if altitude sickness prevented me from venturing out. For this purpose, the Shangri-La Hotel is an excellent choice. The hotel is a convenient 20-minute walk from the Old Town. The popular Xiangyang Market, a favorite among locals and tourists, is just a few minutes' walk away, making it easy to grab essentials or order takeout. Its central location, combined with exceptional service, makes it a truly wise choice."

"The viral hotel in tiktok. Saw people staying here with beautiful views n good reviews made me wanted to experience it. And i tell you what, It was worth every penny. We fully utilised all the free gifts the hotel offered, from free airport/railway station pick up/drop off, free tibet clothing experience, free photo shoots of 20 mins around hotel area (3 free digital photos for keep only-just making it clear) but you can purchase more for 30 yuan per photo. All the shots were lovely. It was really hard to choose only 3 from all but i didn't have any extra budget on me, so had to stick with only 3 of the free ones. Make up was not included but are available with extra charges. We took the service and was definitely happy with the choice. My son enjoyed feeding the animals (except the dogs) carrots which was also provided by the hotel. Room was warm enough at night, was equipped with oxigen tank also to help with breathing if anyone in the room have difficulty breathing. I was one of them since i have low hb. Chest hurting at night. But nothing serious happened. One of the staff made a clear and excellent explanation in english of all the room amenities. I would definitely recommend others to come and stay. I myself would repeat the experience if i had the chance to come again to shangri-la. Thanks lisiman for the experience and the farewell gift."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived – the staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The room was spotless and well-maintained, making it very comfortable for our family. The view was absolutely perfect – the kind that makes you just want to sit back, relax, and take it all in. The location was convenient yet peaceful, giving us easy access to nearby attractions while still feeling like a retreat. This is definitely a great choice for families looking for a good experience to relax, welcoming place to stay with top-notch service. Highly recommended *Railway station - 15mins *Main town ancient city - 20min Keep in mind they provided free photoshot services from the studio, free for 3 original pictures but in the end you have to pay for the edited version per picture and that could be pricey."

"Perched on a small hill, our suite offered direct, stunning views of the Giant Buddha Temple and the prayer wheels. The service was absolutely phenomenal! The staff were incredibly friendly and proactive; as soon as we stepped into our room, they had already turned on the humidifier for us, and anything we needed was promptly delivered. They assisted with our luggage during both check-in and check-out. There were even times when we found it a bit far to walk, and a staff member would kindly give us a ride on their scooter. And the oxygen concentrator? A real lifesaver!"
