We liked the location, it is very close to the old town. We also liked the breakfast buffet and sitting at the bar looking out at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The waiter at the bar, Will Wang, and his helper were great. We did not like our room. It felt dark and dated.

We stayed at the Intercontinental hotel for two nights. The hotel grounds are very impressive and the staff is highly trained and speak very good English. We didn't use any of the facilities, but we did enjoy the great breakfast. The hotel is located on the edge of Lijiang's old town. So while it's quite touristy, it's not as crowded as the centeral area. So why only 4 stars? Here's the thing, we asked the hotel for a large taxi, fitting for four people and four large suitcases. The destination was Shaxi, about a 2 hours drive. They wanted 1,600 RMB for the trip. Why? Dunno. Because it's an expensive hotel, maybe. But I'd expect a hotel with Chinese speaking locals to help us get the best deal possible, not rip us off. How do I know it was a rip off? I texted a random driver with a van on wechat and got the same ride for 700 Yuan. That was also way too steep (the hotel owner in Shaxi explained it should cost 400-500). The experience left a bad taste on my mouth. I'd recommend staying at a cheaper, less 'luxurious' hotel, where you're not just a walking wallet to them.

This is a fantastic property and one of the nicest places we’ve stayed in all our travels in China and the world. The property is located at the entrance to the old town and is magical. You step into a little ancient village. Our room had a lovely courtyard and was so quiet and comfortable. The staff was helpful and the breakfast as delicious as it gets. Our kids also enjoyed some of the experiences offered by the hotel and made their own Yunnan cat. We hope to come back one day!

The room is super hot even we open all window when outside temperature is 8 degrees. We turn off the air conditioner/heat but still hot. Little alsrm clock went off at 1am without any setting by us on 2nd night. Master light button was terrible that could not control the toilet lights, etc. We were there for 4 nights and the light switch was annoying, old style. Your restauarant bfast is average (bacon not crispy and cold, beef salty) and menu terrible - they offered many kinds of dishes at dinner but hardly any without msg/chicken powder, even the hamburger has chicken powder!! no choice left for us but sandwich, pizza..
