Grand Hyatt Lijiang

Hotel was beautiful, room was big and comfortable. In a more quiet part of Lijiang, closer to Suhe. Will stay here again, especially if I want to get away from the crowds

Stayed in Jan 2020, there was some construction ongoing in the area in which a couple of cranes were up, hindering my view of the mountain.

Beautiful hotel with landscaping that blew my mind. The service provided by the hotel manager, Lancelot, was exceptional. He went beyond his call of duty to patiently explain & suggest our tour itinerary, giving helpful suggestions to facilitate a seamless tour. He left instructions with the desk to ensure a smooth execution of our preferred itinerary. The hotel is situated in a quiet and classy neighbourhood with quaint eateries at the lifestyle hub next door. Try Grandma's Kitchen for affordable western cuisine that is surprisingly pretty well-executed.

Every room comes with a nice teapot set and a table perfect for a Chinese tea session. Should include some Chinese tea sachets instead of just western teabags.

Firstly, the staffs are all friendly. Most of them could speak english. The bellman even have a car which is able to bring you around. Secondly, the breakfast has a wide spread and were all tasteful along with the beautiful and big exterior which faces the mountain. Thirdly, the facilities were all built for both summer and winter with tons of equipment for your usage. Lastly, the room, the area and the entrance are built exactly what it is for which is to make it look grand. The downpoint of distance is like a double-edged sword so it depends on your preference (feeling grand or easy access)

The only down point was the location, to head out for travel or eating would require a taxi. But i guess the reason for this is to ensure that the hotel would look grand which indeed make it look like one.

The hotel meets my expectation for a hotel of this class. Room size was good. Big and spacious. My room comes with a balcony where I had a partial view of the snow mountain. Breakfast spread was good too. Tried the massage in the hotel. Price is slightly on the high side but is expected so no complains. Wanted to try the heated swimming pool but didn't have my swimming cap (which is a requirement in China) with me, so had to give it a miss as it is not worth to buy one from the hotel just to use the pool.

A bit out of the way. Had to take a cab to the nearest Shuhe Old Town. But cab fare not expensive. Only RMB 8 so it's ok.
