5-Sterne-Hotels in Dali

Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse, Dali | A poetic stay in a century-old Bai courtyard We’ve just returned from Dali, and the place we keep thinking about most is this hidden gem at the foot of Cangshan Mountain — Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse. Oriental aesthetics in every corner The guesthouse is converted from a century-old traditional Bai courtyard house. With its grey-tiled roofs, white walls, and beautifully carved wooden structures, the space carries a quiet sense of history and elegance. The courtyard features water elements, stone paths, and blue and yellow lanterns that create beautiful layers of light and shadow during the day. At night, the soft lighting outlines the architecture and gives the entire space a warm, cinematic atmosphere. The common areas are equally charming, with a stone-built fireplace, vintage furniture, and art pieces thoughtfully placed throughout. The design blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with modern touches, creating a space that feels both timeless and refined. Comfort with thoughtful details Our room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable. A stone feature wall behind the bed, paired with soft bedding and warm lighting, created a subtle sense of “wild luxury” while still feeling cosy and relaxed. Opening the window reveals the courtyard view — waking up to birdsong in the morning and watching the lanterns glow in the evening adds a special charm to the stay. Warm and attentive service From booking to check-out, the hosts were welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival, they introduced the history of the house and highlighted the design features of the property, and were happy to recommend nearby restaurants and local spots to explore. The afternoon tea was beautifully presented, with fresh fruit and delicate snacks — perfect for enjoying a slow afternoon in the courtyard. Breakfast included some local Bai-style flavours, simple yet delicious, and a lovely way to start the day. A peaceful location near the old town The guesthouse is tucked away in Zhongyin Village at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, about a 15-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. It offers a quiet retreat away from the crowds while still being conveniently close to the main attractions. Surrounded by village life and forested hills, the air feels fresh and full of the scent of nature. More than just a place to stay, Mutian Time feels like a living piece of art. It brought a sense of calm and poetry to our trip to Dali. If you’re looking to experience the slower, more peaceful side of Dali, this is definitely a place worth staying. 大理木田时间野奢设计师民宿｜住进百年白族宅院的诗意时光 刚从大理回来，最念念不忘的就是这家藏在苍山脚下的宝藏民宿——木田时间野奢设计师民宿。 一步一景的东方美学 民宿由百年白族宅院改建而成，青瓦白墙、木构雕花，处处透着古朴雅致。庭院里的水景、石径、蓝黄灯笼，白天光影错落，夜晚灯光勾勒轮廓，随手一拍都是国风大片。公区的石砌壁炉、复古家具和艺术挂画，把东方美学和现代设计融合得恰到好处，既有岁月沉淀感，又不失精致格调。 细节拉满的舒适体验 我们住的房间宽敞通透，石砌背景墙搭配柔软床品，既有野奢感又足够温馨。推窗就是庭院景致，清晨在鸟鸣中醒来，傍晚看灯笼亮起，氛围感直接拉满。 贴心周到的管家式体验 从预订到离店，全程都有管家贴心对接，入住时会详细介绍民宿历史和公区亮点，还会推荐周边小众玩法。下午茶精致又美味，水果新鲜、茶点细腻，在庭院里晒着太阳，慢悠悠享受大理的慢时光。早餐有地道白族风味，食材新鲜，味道惊艳，开启元气满满的一天。 闹中取静的绝佳选址 民宿隐于苍山脚下的中银村，距离古城仅15分钟车程，既避开了喧嚣，又能便捷抵达各处景点。周边是原生村落和森林，空气清新，每一口呼吸都是草木的清香。 这不仅是一家民宿，更是一件有温度的艺术品。它让我们在大理的旅程中，找到了一份远离尘嚣的宁静与诗意。如果你想体验真正的大理慢生活，木田时间绝对是不容错过的选择！

We traveled as a family of 3 with a 3 year old. The facilities were well thought - with on-site billiard table, swimming pool, even photographers with a selection of attires to choose from. In the room, the teapot and leaves were provided to steep our own tea. At common washrooms, they've even thoughtfully placed little sachets of mouthwash. From our room the view was stunning and we loved watching the sunset from different parts of the hotel. As shown from the pictures below. The BEST OF ALL, the service of the crew was impeccable, with quick responses over wechat, regular afternoon tea and supper offering, customized breakfast orders. They were endearing to our 3 year old, offering to play with him while we were busy. They also checked in with us to give suggestions on where to visit and bringing us to dinner locations on the hotel buggy. The laundry service too was amazing where they dried and completed our clothes washing and drying within a day. We look forward to going back, and in the meantime, keep up the good work!

Das Hotel ist ein bespoke Hotel mit dem warmsten Gefühl von Haus und ehrlichstes weibliches Personal. Jede Nüsse und Ecken spielten ziemlich luxuriös und schmackhaftes Ende. Ein freundliches Gastgefühl des besten Teams in Anyu, die twinkle Augen von Claire, wenn nicht ihren Namen immer in einem Strahlenlächeln und Everady zu dienen, KK war ebenso hilfreich wie wenige andere weibliche Mitarbeiter. Wir genossen wirklich uns mit den Matronen der House! Nicht nur sie waren hilfreich, sie wussten ihre Wettbewerber gut, als ich ihre Hilfe befragte, um für mich in Daji und Sisan Reservierungen zu machen. Diese wenigen Mädchen vertreten Anyu Botschafter, verdienen Begrüßungen! Anyu ein verstecktes Geschirr, wir werden zurück sein! Unsere Erfahrungen in Anyu Dali führen uns zu entdecken und zu sehen Anyu Lijiang, wo wir auf unserem nächsten Besuch bleiben werden. halten Sie die gute Arbeit, Anyu wir vertrauen!

We stayed here from 12–15 May during our honeymoon and decided to do our Yunnan trip entirely on our own. Dali was our first destination after landing in Kunming the night before, and it turned out to be the perfect start to our journey. Since our train arrived early at around 9:00 AM, I contacted the host a few days in advance to ask if an early check-in would be possible. Not only were they happy to accommodate our request, but they also kindly offered to pick us up from the station. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our host, Mei, who gave us a tour of the property after check-in. The hotel exceeded our expectations. The architecture is absolutely stunning, from the outside, it feels like staying in a beautiful traditional palace within the old town, while the interior is thoughtfully modernized with every comfort you could need. Our room was incredibly spacious, and we especially loved the heated bathroom floors and the bidet, which was a pleasant surprise. There is also a rooftop area where guests can enjoy a beautiful sunrise view. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. Guests are given several options, and parts of the menu change daily, which kept things interesting. What we looked forward to most every morning was the amazing yogurt served with homemade rose jam, it was honestly the best we've ever had. We mentioned how much we loved it, and at the end of our stay, Mei surprised us with a jar to take home. Such a thoughtful gesture! Every evening, the hotel served a warm dessert, introducing us to flavors that were completely new yet delicious. We were also treated to a complimentary afternoon tea. To make our honeymoon even more special, Mei and her team surprised us with a personalized cake, which was incredibly touching. The location is very convenient, with several Muslim-friendly eateries within a 10-minute walk, as well as convenience stores nearby. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality. Out of all the accommodations we stayed at during our Yunnan trip, this was by far the best. Mei went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, constantly sharing recommendations, travel tips, and local insights to help us make the most of our time in Dali. We genuinely felt cared for throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for honeymooners and newlyweds looking for a memorable and heartfelt experience. InsyaAllah, we will definitely return on our future trips to Dali.

Ich gebe selten Bewertungen ab, aber dieses Hotel war so schön, dass ich einfach eine schreiben musste. Die Aussicht ist unglaublich – mit Abstand die beste, die ich in Dali erlebt habe. Es gibt einen tollen Pool, Waschmaschine und Trockner, was super praktisch war. In der Nähe sind viele gemütliche Cafés und leckeres Essen auch im Hotel gibt es super Abendessen. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich, besonders die Xiaoyi, das sich wirklich um alles gekümmert hat. Von allen Hotels in Dali war das hier ganz klar das beste! Thank you 🙏🏻

Das Hotel war fantastisch! Das Ambiente war elegant und die Zimmer geräumig und hell. Es war sehr ruhig und bot viele gemütliche Rückzugsorte; eine Kanne Tee zuzubereiten, war so entspannend! Unter der Woche ist die Arbeit stressig, daher war dieser Urlaub die perfekte Gelegenheit, mit der Familie zu verreisen, und wir fühlten uns sofort wie neugeboren! Die Luft war außerdem außergewöhnlich frisch! Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption waren unglaublich hilfsbereit und wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen. Im Zimmer gab es außerdem viele Snacks und Obst; mein Kind freute sich riesig, beim Baden Drachenfrucht zu essen! Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war reichhaltig und die Nudeln waren köstlich! Wir schlenderten gemütlich umher und nahmen uns Zeit, die Gegend zu erkunden.

The sea view overlooking Erhai Lake is absolutely stunning! Waking up to the sunrise and enjoying the calm waters right from the room is an unforgettable experience. My parents especially loved relaxing on the balcony with the view, it was so enjoyable that they didn’t even feel like going out to walk around Dali. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, making the stay warm and pleasant.

In Dali habe ich mich wieder für Jixiashan entschieden ~ es gefällt mir wirklich gut. Obwohl es früher nicht mehr schwer war, ein Zimmer zu finden, sind Qualität und Service immer online, was sehr angenehm ist. Vom frühen Morgen bis zur Abenddämmerung ist es hier wunderschön. Von vor vier Jahren bis heute scheint dieser Ort sowohl vertraut als auch unbekannt zu sein. Sie waren sehr rücksichtsvoll und haben die Unterkunftsinformationen aus diesem Jahr beibehalten. Diesmal haben sie eine andere Zimmerkategorie für mich eingerichtet, die sehr warm war. Die Vorräte im Zimmer sind sehr gut. Es gibt Alkoholtupfer im Badezimmer, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich sie direkt mitnehmen möchte. Haha. Das Wichtigste ist, die Feuchtigkeitscreme mitzunehmen, um eine Handcreme herzustellen, sie riecht sehr gut. [Schlagkuss R] Ich muss das Frühstück und den Nachmittagstee, die unten am Berg serviert werden, wirklich loben, sie sind sehr aufmerksam. Der Butler wird Sie im Voraus über die Uhrzeit und die Kategorie informieren und nicht nur die Zahlen erfinden. Am ersten Tag, als Sie eincheckten, war gerade Nachmittagstee. Der Kaffee war sehr gut und die Kuchen waren nicht minderwertig Bilder📷Schade, dass ich mit anderen Dingen beschäftigt war und den Nachmittagstee verpasst habe. Das nächste Mal möchte ich Kaffee und Nachmittagstee trinken. ☕️ Empfohlenes [Sun R] Frühstück, es ist wirklich reichhaltig und lecker, Freunde müssen aufstehen, hahaha. Das Personal, das den Berg hinunterfährt, ist sehr freundlich und geduldig, aber es gibt keinen unnötigen Service oder übertriebene Begeisterung. Hier können Sie Ihre Zeit frei und natürlich verbringen. Abends gibt es Gute-Nacht-Milch und Birnensuppe, da bleibt nichts übrig. [Gute Nacht R] Für Mädchen, die gerne fotografieren, ist es auch sehr aufregend, hier eine Gruppe zu machen, vor allem wegen meiner Arbeit. Ich hoffe, das nächste Mal wiederzukommen und alles zu erleben, zum Beispiel eine Gruppe kleiner Fotos zu machen.

The highlight of this hotel is the breathtaking view from the room. The hotel ambience feels homey and comfortable. I rarely write reviews for my trips, but this hotel truly won my heart with its welcoming service and friendly receptionists. What surprised me the most was the hotel driver, Mr. Mars, who offered to take us to Dali Railway Station free of charge. As we needed to catch our train, he did his very best to get us there as quickly as possible. What an amazing and unforgettable service! Thank you, Mr. Mars..you truly made our day with your warm and thoughtful service.

Overall experience average at Dali Ocean hotel Not up to expectation for the price paid for a should be kids-friendly five star hotel in China. eg: breakfast not much choice, and also not feeling very welcome by front desk staff. When i called them through phone, they just hang up the phone without me finishing the conversation yet, this shock me. Hotel not really kids friendly. Normally what I expect from a 5 star hotel which is into kids theme hotel should be more friendly to kids like giving out some small gifts for little ones, but Dali Ocean Hotel did not have such thing. And also price paid not include visiting the oceanarium. Unexpectedly the dinner we ordered through hotel restaurant and truffle pizza (complimentary in my package) are delicious. Room view Ok, can stay for a night to experience it yourself.
