5-Star Hotels in Tibet, China

This was my first time choosing The St. Regis Lhasa Resort. Coincidentally, I had just stayed at the Shangri-La in Lhasa two days prior. The rooms at The St. Regis Lhasa Resort are significantly larger, and the quality of the slippers is much better. The entrance area is a walk-in closet, with a spacious bedroom to the left and a large bathroom to the right. They provide a Dyson hairdryer and even facial cleanser! Thumbs up! They have an oxygen concentrator and a humidifier, which are essential for the ******* region. Even though it wasn't a Potala Palace view room, the view was still excellent. The front desk staff, Anna, provided wonderful and thoughtful service. Knowing we ran out of water on the first day, she helped us restock with several extra bottles on the second day. Breakfast is semi-buffet. The à la carte items were all a bit salty. The buffet selection wasn't very extensive. Overall, the breakfast experience was just average. Some of the service staff are Nepalese, so you'll need to speak English with them, which is something to keep in mind.

Excellent location, very close to Potala Palace. The hotel staff are warm, attentive, and very thoughtful. The breakfast selection is extensive. Special thanks to butler Jiang Cuo for his consistently high-quality service throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Compared with Bomi Songtsan, Laigu Songtsan is smaller in both size and room size, but the scenery is no less impressive and it is still the site chosen by the gods. The hotel is located in the Laigu Glacier Scenic Area, at an altitude of 4,200 meters. It is embedded in the cliff, facing the glacier, and surrounded by the snow mountain lake. You can overlook the Yalong Glacier from the room! Customer service will give you brand new cloth shoes as soon as you enter the door, and also provide free shoe cleaning services. The hotel is located in the scenic area, and you get free tickets when you check in, and you can drive to the glacier entrance by yourself, which is very convenient. The guest rooms are equipped with diffused oxygen supply, floor heating, and humidifiers, and the bedding is comfortable. Considering the safety of oxygen supply, the room is also designed with a small smoking room, which is full of details.

Our trip to Lhasa was a perfect 10👍🏻👍🏻! As soon as we landed, our butler Bowen picked us up and arranged our itinerary. Danny at the front desk and Manager Xiang provided excellent service, helping us with all our needs. Quzhen from the lounge even made us tsampa by hand, giving us an immersive taste of local culture – truly unforgettable!

I absolutely love Farly Hotel. The staff, both the ladies and gentlemen, are incredibly kind and welcoming. The hotel offers a wide range of activities, like spinning prayer wheels and performing sang offerings. I particularly recommend the evening sound bath experience and the morning Pilates. The instructor's stretching exercises really helped improve my posture. I also woke up early to watch the sunrise, but there's a mountain to the east of Farly, so the sun actually appears about 45 minutes after the official sunrise time. Still, it was a beautiful sight.

On my一路318 self-drive trip, I stayed at all Songtsam's Tibet properties, and the scenery at Basongcuo is indeed stunning. You can see snow-capped mountains from the room, and the hotel's hardware configuration is top-notch within the Linka series. The butler service was also excellent. However, the staff at the scenic area entrance were truly awful. At Nanga Bawa Mountain Retreat and Lhagu, you just need to register to enter the scenic area. But at Basongcuo, even as a guest, you still need a ticket. That's fine, but first, they made us park aside to buy tickets and register. Then, as soon as we finished, a car with local plates immediately blocked the entrance, preventing us from entering. When we tried to communicate and ask what was going on, the security staff actually started yelling at us. For a national five-star scenic area, this is completely unacceptable. I suggest the hotel follow the example of the other two Songtsam properties and incorporate the ticket fee into the room rate for direct entry, to avoid such situations, or have a hotel staff member at the scenic area entrance to welcome and guide guests.

The most satisfying hotel of our trip to Tibet, even better than the St. Regis Lhasa! 1. The hotel is very grand and the design is full of ******* style. 2. The location is excellent, very convenient for visiting the Jokhang Temple, and there are plenty of dining options/supermarkets nearby. 3. A special thank you goes to Manager Shiyi, a benchmark for service in the hotel industry! She called beforehand to confirm (though I missed the call), and upon arrival, upgraded our family of three to a family suite (two bedrooms and a living room, ridiculously spacious). She also recommended Xiao Pangzi Sichuan restaurant to us (which was delicious!). After checking in, any questions we had were answered very promptly, and she even allowed us to check out late at 3:30 PM, so my parents could rest well before their 4 PM high-speed train. We are truly grateful! I've never been so well taken care of as a Titanium Elite member at any Marriott property! 4. The hotel robots proactively deliver takeout to the room, a blessing for lazy people. 5. The breakfast was unexpectedly good, comparable to the St. Regis Lhasa.

I experienced Songtsam on my last night in Lhasa. The overall experience met my expectations. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the hotel's decor was very distinctive. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, so I stayed there the whole time, trying out the restaurant and watching the Princess Wencheng show nearby. The restaurant offered great value for money and delicious food. The hotel provided shuttle service to and from the Princess Wencheng show, and even offered blankets to keep us warm. Our butler, Cidan Zhuoma, was very attentive, and my birthday arrangements were fantastic!

Full of flaws, perhaps their prime location justifies the high price. The room wasn't clean; towels used by previous guests were hanging behind the door, and the shower glass was covered in water stains. The oxygen concentrator was dusty, and the sheets were stained. Despite the many flaws, there were two good points: first, the mattress was very comfortable—the most comfortable I'd had on the entire trip, and I fell asleep quickly; second, the rice noodles for breakfast were delicious.

The service was professional and very supportive. We were greeted with a Hada upon entering, which was a lovely touch reflecting the hotel's local character, and the Hada itself was of good quality. The ******* ladies were beautiful, warm, and provided excellent service, while the young men were very helpful. Breakfast was also great; even as vegetarians, we found suitable options. Overall, our stay here was excellent. We are very grateful and wish the hotel continued success in its business.
