When we arrived at the hotel, the first thing that blew us away was the great view from the reception area. Lijiang in itself was a small town, and the hotel was about a 20 minutes drive from the main city. We enjoyed the quaint old streets and also the nights relaxing in our room. We got the two-bedroom villa... More

Pros: 1. Good service: whether it's check in or at the restaurants, staff members tried their best to be helpful and were very professional. My husband n I fell sick the day we were supposed to check out. We were given complimentary extension on check out time n they even sent us complimentary porridge. Very thoughtful indeed! 2.

We stayed 3 nights in a wonderful 2 bedroomvilla with whirlpool and enjoyed the beautiful design, the space and the quietness. Because the hotel is a bit outside the town, we had always dinner there. We liked both restaurants, but preferred the chinese! The spa treatment was excellent!

The Banyan Tree Lijiang is in a spectacular setting and the property is very well maintained. Our room was exceptionally well appointed and very comfortable and our deck/ private spa were very relaxing. The service, however, is lacking the standards of a 5-star property and typical Banyan Tree standards. In particular, the service in the dining room was consistently slow... More

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting with excellent service. Had expected better food and beverage for the price. Eat out for variety and better value. Breakfast buffet was the same except for the token change of fried noodles to rice and we were there for 5 nights. The staff were helpful and what made the difference.

The waitresses in Bai Yun Chinese Restaurant are friendly, I felt very relaxing and this is a very good hotel for leisure, meditation and vacation with beloved ones. Unfortunately, the hotel is remote from the Central City, Shuttle bus between the Old Town should be provided. I felt great as I could see the Snow Mountains when I slept on... More

10 years ago - the town was 1/3 smaller. So much has been thrown up so quickly here as so much in China. But Lijiang did a decent job with it all and so did Banyan Tree here. But keep this in mind when comparing it to other BT's or high end resorts. The setting is pretty stunning and the... More

Impressed by seanally view backed by high mountains. Enjoyed very private cottage stay with jacuzzi and garden where I could be relaxed by just sitting garden chair with sipping Chinese tea. Ten minutes to walk to reach old city where we can experience old China like time slip by 1000years. We should come back again in October.

We spent 3 nights only and I wish we could stay longer. The driver Ricky from Banyan picked us up from the airport and transfer us to the resort with a brand new comfort U.S imported SUV, super comfortable. The drive was about 35 mins from airport to resort. The service for check in was great and the private tour... More
