We stayed there for 3 nights and had high expectations because we had just come from the magnificient Linden Center near Dali. First the positives: big rooms, well appointed, delicious food , everything worked perfectly and the staff spoke English (wich helped us poor non-mandarin speakers). The view on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (the southernmost glacier in the Northern... more

We have just completed our stay at the Banyan Tree Lijiang. We stayed a total of 4 nights and were very pleased and satisfied with the deluxe room which we stayed in. We were most impressed by Banyan Tree's attention to detail, each day a different souvenir would be placed by our bedsides and different aromatherapy oils would be burnt... more

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the Banyan Tree Lijiang. The hotel is beautifully designed and well located. We stayed in a deluxe room which was great. The spa suites and villas looked gorgeous but we were hardly there so couldn't justify splurging on it. Although the food has been criticized, we thought it was good. The Chinese restaurant... more

Magnificent location with views of Jade Dragon Mountain. Villas spacious. Garden rooms equally nice, but can require climbing a flight of stairs. Large rooms, with sitting rooms and modern baths. Western restaurant serves decent food for China. Car ride to anywhere in town. Old town very quaint, with lots of markets and souvenir shops. Prices better than in large cities.... more

The Banyan Tree Lijiang is a great place just on the outskirts of Lijiang, offering a tranquil and serene atmosphere in the busy tourist town, The views of the mountain are amzing and the villas are very nice. I spent 2 nights in a pool villa and 1 night in one of the rooms. The pool is a little small,... more

We stayed for 3 nights and while it was an overall enjoyable experience, I had higher expectations from a Banyan Tree hotel. It is very disapointing that there is no pool for general guests, especially in such a large hotel. The hotel was quite busy at the time but the hotel restaurants were deserted and really lacked atmosphere at night.... more

Nice hotel, great view of the YuLong mountain from our villa, pool was too small to swim but good for taking pictures (heated pool). I love the infrastructure & design of this place being so Chinese. However not sure if it's because this is an associated hotel of Banyan Tree & not owned by the group, service was not as... more

We just returned from a 4 night stay at the Pool Villa at Banyan Tree Lijiang. Got a good deal from their 15th anniversary promotion. The package came with daily breakfast, 2 dinners and a massade for each of us. We had a great time there. Airport pickup was puntual and hassle free with clean vehicle. But I'm sure we'll... more

We spent 3 nights here and I must admit after reading various reviews of Lijiang hotels I had some doubts about a) spending so much and b) staying so "far" away from the center of town. In retrospect those doubts were completely unfounded. I think actually it was probably one of the best values of 5 or 6 hotels we... more
