Pullman Dali

Pullman Dali

📍 No. 61-1 Erhe South Road, Xiaguan Town, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.7 (11,968 reviews)

"The services from the front desk was superb and responsive. They genuinely serve with a warm smile and we felt welcome always. They even extended a late check-out for us to one o’clock even though the hotel was highly booked and liaised with the Executive Lounge for us to rest and relax until 2.30pm. A big shout out to Miss Sissi from the Executive Lounge who made sure we were comfortable and provided light refreshment for our enjoyment. We felt good and honoured. The room condition is new and in immaculate condition. The Erhai lake facing view from the full ceiling to floor window is trully scenic giving a sense of peace and calm especially during sunset and early morning dawn. This itself already worth all the money! Amenities provided are top notch with auto controlled curtain, master switch for lightings, smart toilet and most importantly, a very comfortable bed and pillows. Glad we have chosen Pullman Dali over other highly rated guesthouses because of its high service quality standard and amenities which are unlikely from guesthouses. Strongly recommend Pullman Dali and will stay here again!"

"When I come to Dali for a vacation, I always struggle with where to stay. After trying many places, I decisively chose the Yuanshanhai Banshan Villa Luxury Hotel. It really feels like my ideal hidden getaway. The hotel is built into the mountain, and the environment is exceptionally quiet. Both the courtyard and the rooms have great views, and you can see Cangshan Mountain just by looking up. The rooms are designed in a villa style, offering spacious and comfortable living without feeling cramped. It's also not far from the ancient city, making travel very convenient. You can explore the ancient city during the day and return to a peaceful rest at night. Overall, it's comfortable and relaxing, perfect for those who want to slow down and enjoy their vacation."

ARANYA Resort Hotel

"Having afternoon tea with a view was an absolute delight, boasting a stunning sea vista! The half-mountain view was breathtaking; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my bed. At sunset, the entire 'orange sea' stretched out before the window – even just staring at it felt blissful. The room design was simple yet luxurious, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a sea-view bathtub creating an amazing ambiance. The KingKoil mattress made for an exceptionally sound sleep, and details like L'Occitane toiletries and smart devices were perfectly thought out, making it clean and comfortable. The butler service was top-notch, offering attentive guidance from check-in to itinerary suggestions. They were quick to respond but never intrusive, allowing for a truly relaxed experience. Public areas like the 'Sky Mirror' and infinity pool were perfect for amazing photos. Breakfast was rich and delicious, and afternoon tea was incredibly soothing. It's a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, conveniently located, allowing you to escape the noise while still easily experiencing local life. Next time I visit Dali, I'll definitely choose this place again to let the wind and light of Erhai Lake wash away all my fatigue."

"The location was great, along a quieter stretch of the ecological corridor around Erhai lake. The scenery was really beautiful with lots of flowers and lake views. It was also quite centrally located and accessible to different sight seeing locations. The hotel is relatively new but seems already in need of more maintenance. Eg small cracks around the wall and little stains around bathroom tiles. The rooms were clean and the staff were kind and helpful and helped take care of all our needs. Considering how much we paid, I think it was good value for money."

Pullman Dali ★★★★★
"Wonderful stay at Pullman Dali. Location: Excellent location facing Dali Harbour. The Erhai sightseeing bus stop is only a 3–5-minute walk, and Dali High‑Speed Railway Station takes just 5–10 minutes by car, very convenient for travelling to Haidong. Room & Facilities: We stayed in a high-floor Erhai-view room with fantastic lake scenery. The rooftop terrace is the biggest highlight for enjoying panoramic Erhai views. Rooms are well furnished, and guests can choose pillows of different textures as needed. The hotel is fully equipped with a gym, swimming pool and SPA. Breakfast has diverse selections and tasty pastries. Service: We encountered slight communication problems at first, which were settled perfectly with the help of butler Mary (Thanks Soraya for the help too! )- She assisted in all coordination, recommended local attractions and cared about our experience throughout the stay. The hotel clearly marks free and chargeable services with full transparency. Highly recommend this hotel."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"This hotel has both stunning scenery and exceptional hospitality, and it is truly worth staying at. The entire place is so beautiful that it feels like stepping into a scene from a movie or TV drama, making the stay itself a very special memory. The photos attached were taken during the Hanfu experience provided by the hotel. The Hanfu shown in the photos was also rented from the hotel. The hotel offers Hanfu experiences from many different regional styles, and simply trying on the Hanfu is even free of charge. However, I highly recommend also experiencing the makeup and photography services, as they will leave you with truly unforgettable photos and memories. For photography, I highly recommend 福瑞 (Fúruì). He actively guided me through different poses and expressions, so even someone who is not used to being photographed would feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final photos turned out very natural and beautiful. I especially recommend the makeup artist 欢欢 (Huānhuān). She patiently discussed outfit and makeup styles with me based on reference photos and gave suggestions that perfectly matched my personal style and atmosphere. In addition, guests can also bring their own costumes and choose only makeup or photography services. Prices vary depending on the package, but the staff will discuss your budget with you beforehand before deciding on the plan, making the experience feel very worthwhile and reasonably priced. The breakfast is also highly recommended. For only 38 RMB, you can enjoy your meal while overlooking the beautiful courtyard. The dishes are colorful and visually delightful, and they taste delicious as well. I definitely recommend trying it."

Enjoyed the complementary fruits and the fact that they had a room for us when we came in early morning from our wee morning flight. A great stay."

Dali Muxi Dali · Huoshan Hotel ★★★★★
"I specifically chose this hotel for my trip to Dali, curious to see the level of Chinese guesthouses. If it weren't for the altitude sickness, I'd seriously consider staying there for a while after this experience. The hotel owner has impeccable taste, and everything was executed to perfection. If I had any suggestions, I'd say the check-in lobby could use some improvement as it felt a bit out of sync with the rest of the hotel's vibe. Also, while the breakfast was outstanding, the lunch and dinner were slightly underwhelming, almost tasting like pre-made meals. Given the current business environment, what the hotel owner has achieved is remarkable, and I hope high-end Chinese customers will strongly support it. I truly believe that if they can maintain this standard, it will undoubtedly become a top-tier resort in China."
