Inspired by Liu Yifei! Checking in at the wild luxury aesthetic space by S Bay

On this trip to Dali, I practically stayed soaked in the dream hotel! Yunqi·Dali S Bay Mountain View Hotel made me want to lie flat for three days without moving. Designer hotel lovers and detail fanatics will be ecstatic— even the heated toilet seat is thoughtfully arranged.

🌈【Living in a framed design aesthetic】
• The room blends wabi-sabi style with wild luxury. The duplex loft’s large floor-to-ceiling windows frame Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake like a dynamic oil painting. Dyson hairdryer and Ferragamo amenities add an unexpectedly cute contrast.
• The public areas are full of clever spots: a reading corner with Yunnan ancient tree tea, and the rooftop terrace offers simultaneous views of wheat fields + Erhai Lake + Cangshan Mountain trio.

🛎️【Butler-style service reaches new heights】
• Upon arrival, a staff member sprints 100 meters to carry my luggage. When they found out I had a cold, they immediately brought ginger tea and a thermometer.
• Daily refreshed fruit plates and goodnight sweet soups, even customized menus to meet my mom’s health tea needs.
• Special praise for family-friendliness! They provide baby dining chairs and picture books, and staff accompany kids to do tie-dye painting.

🍽️【Dali surprises on the palate】
• Breakfast rice noodles paired with fermented cheese are absolutely amazing; the rose jam pancakes at afternoon tea are so good I want to learn the recipe.
• Hidden service: book in advance to get a picnic basket by Erhai Lake.

📍【Location with unbeatable experience】
• A 3-minute walk to the popular S Bay, but the hotel is tucked deep in the countryside, completely avoiding crowds.
• Get up early at 6 AM to enjoy the deserted Erhai Lake corridor, and in the evening, go to the neighboring wheat field to shoot scenes like the movie "Little Forest."
• Nearby activities: rent a bike to ride along the ecological corridor, or take a 15-minute taxi to Xizhou Ancient Town to try crispy popo pancakes.
