Shangri-La hotel rooms a the Banyan Tree

"The place is not easy to find but it’s only about 6-10min walk to moonlight plaza. There is no lift but the staff were nice enough to carry luggage upstairs for guests. "

"The room was Ok. The hotel staff had an 'I don't care' attitude since its so much in demand hotel. We are pretty sure other hotels around like Judy's Hotel etc. have good accommodations as well. This one had a very cool common terrace with mountain view for all. No breakfast or lunch was included for the high price that we paid"

"Excellent stay! We loved, the are is very friendly and walkable?"

"View and service were amazing. There is a bus station in front of the hotel parking from Lijiang old Town. The bus will stop at Tiger Leaping Gorge first, then ending at this hotel. We've spent a night here then took another bus direct to Shangri La the next day. "

"A great place to stay in Banna"

"Tucked away in a tiny village, this hotel is a true escape where the only sounds you hear are those of nature. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recover from the fatigue of high-altitude travel—peaceful, refreshing, and deeply calming. The property itself is expansive, set on beautiful grounds with a flowing river and a scenic lawn. I stayed in a stunning two-story detached Tibetan-style cottage, beautifully designed with an eye for detail and cultural authenticity—it was both luxurious and inspiring. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. One of the highlights of my stay was the meaningful conversations I had with them; they shared fascinating insights about local religion and traditions, adding a rich cultural layer to the experience. A truly special stay that nourishes both body and spirit. "
