The good: the hotel design,particulary the entrance is amazing; the location next to old town is great The bad: the room's bathroom wasn't functioning very well the service and level of English isn't great the breakfast is too Chinese, need to have better western fare [pastries were rubbish]

This hotel is on the edge of the ancient town and perfectly positioned to walk anywhere within the old town walls (you will likely get lost but that's half the fun). The hotel consists of many buildings with about six rooms in each building. All are designed to blend in with the local architecture. The rooms are fabulous with Asian... More

This hotel is located in a good quiet location just outside the ancient town. I hope the pubs and noisy bars will stay away from CP because we really enjoy the quiet comfort in-room & out. The pillow menu with a Bose wave cd/radio system were thoughtful and sensible to personal tastes. It speaks quality inside the room and within... More

We stayed at the CP for four days and loved pretty much every minute. The whole layout of the hotel is in the style of Lijiang. There are lots of smaller building with each of them housing just a few rooms. The buildings are connected through walkways reminiscient of the alleys of the old town. Everything is beautifully landscaped and... More

All the great reviews about this hotel are true. It is well situated near Lijiang old town, and the bar/restaurants are an excellent place to relax in and enjoy the calm view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Fantastic rooms and helpful staff. Only thing that surprised me is when trying to get public transport tickets to Dali or Lijiang the... More

I wrote an adverse review of the Huizhou Intercontinental Hotel subsequent to my family stay last Xmas. Belonging to the same hotel group (Intercontinental Hotel Group), Crowne Plaza in Lijiang was rated No. 2 most favorite hotel in Lijiang, as found from TripAdvisor's Reviews. So, I gave it a go. Compared to Banyan Tree in Lijiang which I stayed in... More

Back to back with the UNESCO heritage site of the ancient town this hotel is a replica of the old town itself but with modern facilities. Staff were extremely helpful and they upgraded us to a mini suit which was really nice! Just note that if you take a short cut from back of hotel to the ancient town it... More

I came to Lijiang with my wife for Easter vacation. I chose this hotel after reviewing the Tripadvisor comments and it's vicinity to the ancient town (adjacent to the south entrance). A warm welcome when we arrived the hotel by taxi. The bell boy was nice and polite. The front staff (a lady) helped me doing the check-in procedures efficiently... More

We have visited Beijing, Xian, Chengdu and next Shanghai and all their famous attractions, but before Shanghai we flew to Lijiang in the mountains and found a beautiful old town and a wonderful hotel. The Crowne Plaza is like a 5 star Chinese village. The rooms are enormous, the staff are really friendly, the breakfasts are amazing. We never thought... More
