Chantilly Left Bank French Designer Homestay

💯When in Shangri-La, you absolutely must choose Hotel Shangri-La Chatiya! The overall French-style ambiance is fantastic, and the amenities are top-notch: underfloor heating throughout, Dyson toiletries, and a Marshall speaker. What's most thoughtful for a high-altitude area is that each room is equipped with an oxygen concentrator, effectively alleviating altitude sickness. The butler service is attentive and courteous, always ready to answer any questions. The rooms are clean and quiet, the environment is elegant, making it perfect for both couples and short-term stays. I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Shangri-La.

The family room experience was fantastic! The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, with underfloor heating throughout, keeping us very warm. The diffused oxygen supply made staying at high altitude worry-free. The French-style decor was exquisite and beautiful, and the facilities were complete. The hotel's location in Dukezong Ancient City made it very convenient to explore. We also received complimentary souvenirs and afternoon tea, and airport/station transfers were provided. The staff proactively helped with our luggage. It's highly recommended for family trips!

Shangri-La offers an overwhelming number of accommodation options. Before coming, I spent a long time choosing, browsing everything from international chains to various local guesthouses and B&Bs. I either couldn't stand the decor or found them uninspired, which wasn't quite right for a relaxing vacation. That is, until I saw this place. After repeated comparisons and deliberations, perhaps due to the decor, or the owner's thoughtful replies to guest reviews, or simply a gut feeling, I chose this one. I originally only booked one night, with two more nights planned near Napa Lake in Shangri-La. But upon arrival, my initial feeling was so strongly and overwhelmingly confirmed that I knew my choice was right. I immediately extended my stay for another night! They call it a B&B, but I truly believe it's a small, beautiful, and warm hotel with taste and style, and most importantly, heart and soul. Just like its name, 'The Manor' (公馆), it's truly a 'manor' for every guest in the ancient town! Location: It's right by the ancient town, and you can see Guishan Park from the room. The owner drove us to the edge of the ancient town road, and a young female staff member came to greet us, immediately taking my rolling suitcase. I felt a bit embarrassed and tried to politely refuse multiple times, but she insisted. We walked less than twenty meters to the hotel. Decor: The overall style is French, with meticulous attention to detail, taste, and elegance evident in the floor tiles, wall tiles, decorative paintings, and lighting fixtures. The rooftop viewing platform is romantically spacious. Rooms: The diffused oxygen machine, projector, Bluetooth headphones, and toilet are all international brands and highly intelligent. The hairdryer is Dyson, and the paper products and beverages are all top-notch. The outdoor balcony is cozy and pleasant, and the soundproofing is excellent. Later, I learned from chatting with the owner that this hotel was designed by professionals from Tongji University, commissioned by a Shanghai owner. The custom-made tiles and other items, along with a full year of construction, show their dedication. With such thoughtful efforts, my sleep at this high altitude was greatly ensured and supported; my sleep quality over two nights was even better than in lowland areas. Service: They anticipate your needs and do more than expected, thinking comprehensively and providing even more thoughtful service! From picking us up at the high-speed rail station, to the welcome afternoon tea, and the homemade breakfast (especially commendable for the owner's relatives from Anhui who insist on handcrafting high-pressure cooked pastries, rice noodles, and small dishes in such a high-altitude area), to the warm reminders about weather and road conditions before we left, and proactively asking about our dining needs upon our return – everything reflects their serious dedication and warm hospitality. This is truly what 'a home away from home' feels like! Especially noteworthy was the transport service. Although originally only one pick-up/drop-off was included, the owner proactively asked about our next itinerary and specially arranged to drive us to our next accommodation near Napa Lake. Even though it was only about ten kilometers, the next location was remote, making taxis difficult to find and ride-sharing challenging. After dropping us off, the Anhui-born brother simply said, 'Look how remote this place is. We know it's hard to get a car here. No matter how long you stay, if you have trouble getting a ride, just call us. If we're not too busy, we'll definitely come and pick you up!' Haha, can you feel it? It's that same 'aha!' feeling I had when choosing the hotel – I knew this was the one, the right feeling! Highly recommended! I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Driving to Shangri-La was a breeze! The hotel has plenty of parking spaces right outside, so no need to fight for a spot. The rooms are spacious and open, with a high-quality French-style decor throughout. Each room comes with an oxygen concentrator, which was a lifesaver for my headache and chest tightness upon arriving at high altitude. The complimentary afternoon tea had a great variety and tasted excellent. The butler service was very attentive, patiently answering all our questions and even recommending travel itineraries. The rooms were also very clean, and soundproofed well. Stepping out, you're right on Old Street, and the rooftop offers amazing views. Definitely a five-star review!

The rooms were spotless, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. The hotel is located right in the heart of the old town, just a few minutes' walk from Sifang Street. Getting around is super convenient too, as there's a parking lot right at the entrance where you can drive in. The day before arrival, they even called to ask if we needed airport pickup, which was a very thoughtful touch. You can even see the prayer wheels from the hotel's rooftop.

I stayed in a really comfortable hotel, so I'm here to write a review! The hotel is located at the North Gate of the old town, making it super convenient whether you want to visit other attractions or just explore the old town itself. They offer breakfast, and having something warm to eat on those chilly high-altitude mornings was absolutely wonderful 🥰 They also provide pick-up and drop-off services! Whether we were arriving in Shangri-La or heading to the high-speed train station, the hotel arranged all our transport for us, which saved us a lot of hassle! The afternoon tea was delicious 😋 and the butler even prepared a souvenir for us. All the staff we met at the hotel were incredibly, incredibly enthusiastic! Coming back exhausted after a day of sightseeing and being greeted with such warmth was truly heartwarming 🥰 The room decorations were lovely! I especially liked the small room on the second floor; it felt like a secret hideaway I would have dreamed of as a child, and I think kids would absolutely adore it. The third floor has an observation deck where you can directly see the prayer wheel at Guishan Park. Even though the hotel is in the old town, it's generally not affected by the hustle and bustle inside, so overall, I'd say it's a peaceful oasis in a lively area. The oxygen enrichment system in the room was excellent. It doesn't provide direct oxygen but instead increases the overall oxygen content in the room, which I think is more effective for adapting to the local altitude.

The B&B's location is excellent, with a parking lot right outside the door, and plenty of great food options nearby. It's super convenient for getting around. All the staff members are incredibly warm and friendly, with excellent service. On our first day, our child had a bit of a fever, and they even specially cooked congee and provided a thermometer, which was so touching that we extended our stay for another day. Overall, this is a heartwarming B&B and highly recommended!

Found a hidden gem in Shangri-La! The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the old town. As soon as we arrived at the parking lot, a butler was there to help us with our luggage and guide us to a parking spot – the service was incredibly thoughtful. The hotel also offers an exquisite afternoon tea with a variety of drinks and freshly cut fruit. The French-style decor is absolutely stunning. The room even has an oxygen concentrator, which perfectly resolves any altitude sickness, and they thoughtfully provide tea bags 🍵! The room was spotless, and the soundproofing was excellent, so we slept soundly at night. I highly recommend this place for your travels and stay!
