#Pullman Xishuangbanna Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I can't stand it anymore! The price of Pullman in Xishuangbanna, ordinary people can also live in!
Geographical location & transportation:
Pullman is located in the 'vacation hotel area' within the 'Sunac Tourism Resort'. The resort area is a relatively independent area, and you will see the vacation hotel area about 1 kilometer further in. Basically, only hotel guests will come in and out, the overall environment is quiet, and it feels more like a resort.
There are three hotels in the hotel area, namely Pullman, Crowne Plaza, and Wanda Vista, and the one closest to the outside is Pullman.
Hotel environment & room type:
The hotel is a tropical resort style, and the Dai-style lobby is like being in a Southeast Asian outdoor garden. The lawn is very photogenic, and the parking lot is a big shot at a casual shot! The lobby is on the 3rd floor, and the rooms are located on the 1-7 floors. Please note that the deluxe rooms are all on the 1-2 floors, and the noble deluxe and above are on the 3-7 floors. We live on the 2nd floor. The vegetation outside the balcony is dense, so there is no sunlight in the room and it will be more humid and dark. If you mind, you can choose a room type above the noble or make a request to the front desk! Another point is that the room is too far away! It takes 10 minutes to leave the hotel every time, the room is 42m, each has a small balcony, and there is a bathtub. The bedding is comfortable, and there are many pillows to choose from. But the room decoration is old, and there is a bit of dampness, which is a bit different from other five-star hotel rooms, don't expect too high, there are mosquitoes in the room!
The hotel's facilities and services are quite complete, outdoor & indoor swimming pools, gym, aerobics room, parent-child amusement room, bonfire party every night, travel shooting.

Many roads will be under control from the 13th to the 15th🚧, so it's not recommended to rent a car. It's hard to find parking, and you might get stuck in a taxi🚕.

Xishuangbanna Family Trip—Hotel Edition, this one article is all you need
Before setting out, once the flights and hotels are arranged, you've basically completed 99.99% of the planning. Today, I'm going to share with you an ultra-comprehensive selection of hotels in Xishuangbanna👇
Banna's conventional accommodation choices
1⃣️ Gaozhuang/Xingguang Night Market
🌟 Gaozhuang is actually not the center of Banna, but a scenic area, located across the river from the city center, known for the Xingguang Night Market.
✔️ Pros: Overall not expensive; transportation from Gaozhuang to other places is not good, but staying in the scenic area makes it convenient to go to Xingguang Night Market and ride Snoopy electric cars, allowing you to experience local life in Banna, which is quite down-to-earth; convenient for checking in at popular stores
❌ Cons: Mostly homestays with varying levels of accommodation; some homestays can be noisy at night; prices tend to be higher in the scenic area
2⃣️ Water-Splashing Square
🌟 The area around Water-Splashing Square is actually Banna's urban area, not far from the riverside night market, where you can get a better feel for local life
✔️ Pros: Can order takeout; relatively quieter compared to Gaozhuang; moderate hotel prices; cheaper prices in general
❌ Cons: No very good hotels, just average; prone to traffic jams
3⃣️ Family Hotels
🌟 For the latter part of the trip with kids, I recommend going to Banna's family hotels to experience the holiday vibe, rest well while engaging in family activities. Generally, they offer travel photography sessions, making it easier to take pictures in the hotel
Some with good reputations include:
Crowne Plaza/Pullman/Wanda Vista (Sunac Hotel Group)
Anantara (near the Botanical Garden)
InterContinental (quite far)
✔️ Pros: Assured service, hotels come with beautiful Banna tropical rainforest scenery, lots of family activities
❌ Cons: Compared to similar five-star hotels, the price is high and the cost-performance ratio is low; the hotels are relatively old
📝 Homework copy: This time I stayed for five days, the first three days in Gaozhuang homestays (pictures 1-7), and the last two days in a family hotel from the Sunac Hotel Group (pictures 8-14). I changed hotels on the day of hiking in Jino Mountain, which overall was a reasonable arrangement for a family trip.

The Doubletree by Hilton Xishuangbanna Wanda is not only close to the airport, but also close to the two most important attractions in the city center. It is only a few kilometers away and you can visit it at any time. The banyan buildings piled up with glazed tiles, the lake reflects the beauty of the shore, and the rainforest scenery. The hotel is part of Wanda International Resort. Like other attractions in the resort, it belongs to Wanda Group. Guests staying at the hotel can enjoy 20% discount on Wanda Theme Park and Yuxiu Theatre Tickets~~ DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Xishuangbanna Wanda Since it was opened in Xishuangbanna, it was naturally full of smell. From the moment I entered the hotel lobby, I felt the strong Dai people's style. The lobby is an open and sleek spire-style building with ethnic dcor. The four huge pillars supporting the roof symbolize the elephant foot, and the painted elephant in the middle of the lobby is the symbol of the hotel. From the lobby bar, the view is very wide, and the view is full of lush scenery. The warm climate makes the flowers bloom all year round. Even in the winter, the beautiful Xishuangbanna is still full of vitality and greenery.
