MM356587****This was my first time in Shangri-La, and my boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel. It was absolutely stunning and left us with so many beautiful memories! 😊
🌟 The hotel's location is superb! It's near Dukezong Ancient Town, right by the entrance, so you can park your car directly in front of the hotel. This made getting around incredibly convenient. (We completely skipped staying inside the ancient town because of the cobblestone streets, which makes it impossible to drive in.)
🌟 The hotel has three special features that really impressed us!
1️⃣ [CURE] Lazy Afternoon Couples' Afternoon Tea (I compared it with many B&Bs in the area, and almost none offered it; afternoon tea is a signature feature of Kuri Blue! 🤩). The afternoon tea was incredibly exquisite, with Shine Muscat grapes, cherry tomatoes, various snacks, plus a cup of Yunnan coffee (very rich and aromatic), and a cup of Dianhong tea/ginger tea (fragrant with a pleasant aftertaste, clearly made with high-quality tea leaves). They provided this every afternoon during our stay. ❤️ (What touched us deeply was that when we missed afternoon tea because we were out exploring, the owner thoughtfully delivered it to our room! After a day of wild adventures, sitting on the soft, comfortable sofa in our room, enjoying fruit and coffee, and gazing at the breathtaking mountain views outside the window was incredibly relaxing!)
2️⃣ [CURE] Stay two consecutive nights and choose one of four options: Alphard business shuttle service for pickup/drop-off at the airport/station. The hotel's pickup/drop-off service is very thoughtful! Their car is a luxurious Alphard minivan, with automatic doors and comfortable executive seats. I even saw two such cars, so the hotel's shuttle arrangements are very flexible and convenient; no waiting in line, almost always a dedicated private transfer. (When our flight landed in Shangri-La on the first day, the hotel had someone waiting for us outside the airport in advance. Upon seeing us, the staff warmly took our luggage and invited us into the car, making us feel right at home, like family picking me up.)
3️⃣ The hotel's terrace is my favorite. The view is incredibly expansive, offering a panoramic overlook of the entire Dukezong Ancient Town, as well as Guishan Park and the Giant Prayer Wheel. When there's a sunset glow in the evening, spending time on the terrace allows for many beautiful photos. The terrace has various styles of tables and chairs, with both indoor glass rooms and outdoor sections – it's truly beautiful!
🌟 Hotel Amenities: The mattresses, duvets, and pillows in the hotel are exceptionally comfortable. The duvets are fluffy, and the pillows, with different heights, are also very new. I had three solid, restful nights of sleep in Shangri-La! The room features wooden floors and distinctive furniture, showcasing the owner's very refined taste. The room also has an oxygen concentrator and a steamer. Pushing open the window reveals mountain views, and you can enjoy excellent scenery right from your bed.
🌟 Hotel Service: The service was incredibly warm. We experienced altitude sickness on our first day of arrival. We reached the hotel at 8 AM, and the owner warmly offered us oxygen tanks and advised us not to shower that night. The owner is truly kind and generous, and she also provided us with many travel tips. The room was cleaned daily, and it was spacious and cozy.
The three days in Shangri-La flew by so quickly. I'll always cherish the memories and will definitely come back next time!!
