We stayed in a 2-bedroom villa for 2 nights as part of a 4 night stay (2 in BT Lijiang and 2 in BT Ringha). The setting and the villa furnishings were great, but as some other reviewers have commented ... it did not have a uniqueness or exclusive service attention that one was expecting. It felt like another high... More

this place is overratd.... they have what you expect from a 5 star hotel but nothing that wows you... I was underimpressed... they could have paid more attention to details... I got a cheaper room with no view to the mountain, but I must say it would still have not been worth it.... the location is about 10 min walk... More

Having stayed at other Banyan Trees (Ringha, Phuket), my expectations at Lijiang were for a boutique style hotel with exclusivity and seclusion. The setting of Banyan Tree Lijiang was quite stunning and the garden jacuzzi suite was divine to enjoy the night sky, crisp cool air and views of snow mountain. Rooms were beautifully decorated with delicious varieties of complimentary... More

It was my 2nd return to the Banyan Tree Lijiang and though it was for business conference this time, a suite instead of the fantastic villa; the service was top notch hospitable! Heartwarming welcome started from the reception, and the room was really big enough, with top notch international Spa ambience. The heater in the room and even on the... More

We too stayed in a wonderful room overlooking the snow capped peak (on the second floor so if stairs are a problem at 7000 feet, beware.). I was also looking forward to a soak in the large tub but it didn't work! Couldn't get the drain to stay in the closed position preventing me from enjoying a relaxing time before... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Banyan Tree whilst holidaying in Lijiang. It's a bit far from the town centre which can be a plus or a minus depending on what you're after. For us, it was a plus as Lijiang Old Town can be very busy and rather touristy, The setting is perfect with the imposing Jade Dragon... More

We stayed in a room with an amazing view of Snow Mountain. Our beautiful room was clean, comfortable, and felt like home. The bath tub was very relaxing and the shower was perfect. We had in room dining while there which was quite good given you are in the middle of nowhere in China. I loved that they provided different... More

This hotel is nicely designed, and in lovely setting, but needs to work on its service, and also its extra fees. The food in the restaurant is nothing special, better to eat outside. And we found that when we hired a guide from outside (one we'd found through TripAdvisor), we got much better service from him, and also a better... More

My wife and I stayed four nights at the 160-room Banyan Tree Resort Lijiang which is designed like a gated community comprising single-storey villas and smaller units in the guise of 2-storey terrace houses. All units boast views of the picturesque snow-capped Yulong Xueshan ("Jade Dragon Snow Mountain"). An inexperienced staff gave incorrect information about spa services and pricing when... More

As an American living in Shanghai, it's important to get out of the city for fresh air and to regain your sanity. This is the place! Lijiang is absolutely beautiful and the Banyan Tree doesn't disappoint. We splurged and went with a Garden view villa, which also had a jacuzzi. The "house" is just lovely, beautiful finishes, lovely furniture and... More
