Lijiang Intercontinental｜A Perfect Encounter of Snow Mountain Views and Ancient Town Charm

📍Prime Location
Adjacent to the south gate of Lijiang Ancient Town, the hotel's back door leads directly to the town's alleys, just a 5-minute walk to Sifang Street. The lobby faces the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, offering stunning views of the "Golden Sunrise" on clear days. The garden-style layout seamlessly blends Naxi architecture with natural landscapes.

🛎️Service Experience
• Quick-response concierge with attentive luggage handling and town tour services
• Front desk efficiency is average, but the Naxi staff's warm smiles are infectious
• 24-hour golf cart shuttle service, available even for late-night returns from the town

🛏️Room Review
• Room Options: Base rooms start at 55㎡. Recommended: "Deluxe Room" (2nd floor) > "Garden Suite" (1st floor with multiple courtyards but 30% pricier). For families, request "Building 7/8" for quieter, centralized rooms.

• Altitude-Friendly: At 2,400 meters, no altitude sickness risk compared to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain resorts, ideal for elderly and children.

💡Practical Tips
• Off-season (Mar-Apr/Nov) base rooms start at ¥1,500+/night, with reward nights often available.

✨Stay Summary
"Wake under the snow mountain’s gaze, sleep amid the ancient town’s glow"—here, Intercontinental’s standard service meets the soul of Naxi culture. If there’s a drawback, it’s the slightly thin walls. But when dawn gilds the mountain peaks outside your window, these flaws become reasons to return.
