Taoyuan Hotels, Dali

"This manor is a wonderful retreat featuring unique and beautifully designed villas. The property was distinctly Chinese in style and quite attractive. The villa I stayed in was well appointed, with a spacious bathroom and heated floors. It also offered a very private, generously sized outdoor yard with a hot tub, as well as a traditional Chinese wooden gazebo, perfect for sipping tea and relaxing. The restaurant was excellent, and Kadi, the general manager, provided truly exceptional service. He was an absolute pleasure. The staff overall was professional, attentive, and responsive to every need. The location is also very convenient for visiting all the major sites. I highly recommend this property when visiting Dali."

"If Dali’s romance is a poem woven by the Cangshan Mountains, Erhai Lake, and the ancient town’s lingering charm, this boutique hotel is the most heart-fluttering stanza within its verses. From the moment you pass through its wrought-iron gate adorned with French floral motifs, you embark on an immersive journey across geographical aesthetics. Nestled steps away from Dali Old Town yet blissfully removed from main-street bustle, the property strikes a golden balance for travelers. Wake to mist-draped mountain vistas through your window at dawn, then stroll five minutes at twilight to melt into the ancient town’s lantern-lit enchantment. Every corner whispers tales of meticulous design—stucco-carved dome ceilings, gilt-framed mirrors, and velvet sofas sketching Parisian Left Bank elegance, while hand-hammered gold-leaf washbasins hold pristine mountain spring water. Ethnic-patterned copper tumblers glimmer in morning light, blurring the lines between Provence and Yunnan’s rainbow-clouded lands. Whether surrendering to vinyl melodies drifting from the lobby gramophone by day or surrendering to pulsating basslines by night, each moment kindles emotion. Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries pamper the senses, 400-thread-count linens cradle like weightless clouds, and even the discreet hum of a Dyson hair dryer whispers luxury—a symphony of boutique hospitality indulgences. Here, where architectural poetry, indigenous culture, and sublime comfort coexist in perfect harmony, who could resis"

"My girlfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway. Waking up to that **incredible breakfast**—homemade, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared—was such a treat every morning. The island itself is **pure magic**: quiet, untouched, and exactly the peaceful escape I needed. And the host? Just **the kindest, most welcoming person**—not only did they make sure I had everything I needed, but their passion for tea turned simple evenings into these lovely, memorable moments. It’s rare to find a place that feels so special and genuinely cared for. **Thank you for such a beautiful stay!** "
