5-Star Hotels in Tibet, China

Overall, the stay was excellent and satisfying in every aspect. Environment: The St. Regis Lhasa Resort boasts a strong ******* style, with elegant and serene garden landscapes. The common areas are uniquely decorated, creating a wonderful ambiance when walking through them. It's quiet, comfortable, and offers a rare sense of tranquility at high altitude. Hygiene: The rooms are meticulously cleaned, and the bedding is neat and dry. Every corner is well-maintained, and the bathroom is odor-free. The overall hygiene standard is very high, making for a reassuring stay. Facilities: The room facilities are comprehensive, with stable oxygen supply and underfloor heating. The hardware is well-maintained, and amenities are complete, fully meeting the needs of a high-altitude stay and maximizing comfort. Service: All staff members are polite, enthusiastic, and responsive. Special thanks to Alan at the front desk for an efficient and smooth check-in process. He was patient and kind in communication, proactively informed us of important check-in details, and patiently answered all our questions. His thoughtful and attentive service added a lot to our trip. The only issue was a flickering light in the shower room, which needs to be addressed.

Excellent location, very close to Potala Palace. The hotel staff are warm, attentive, and very thoughtful. The breakfast selection is extensive. Special thanks to butler Jiang Cuo for his consistently high-quality service throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Compared with Bomi Songtsan, Laigu Songtsan is smaller in both size and room size, but the scenery is no less impressive and it is still the site chosen by the gods. The hotel is located in the Laigu Glacier Scenic Area, at an altitude of 4,200 meters. It is embedded in the cliff, facing the glacier, and surrounded by the snow mountain lake. You can overlook the Yalong Glacier from the room! Customer service will give you brand new cloth shoes as soon as you enter the door, and also provide free shoe cleaning services. The hotel is located in the scenic area, and you get free tickets when you check in, and you can drive to the glacier entrance by yourself, which is very convenient. The guest rooms are equipped with diffused oxygen supply, floor heating, and humidifiers, and the bedding is comfortable. Considering the safety of oxygen supply, the room is also designed with a small smoking room, which is full of details.

This was my first time visiting Tibet, and I chose the Shangri-La. The front desk had a short-haired young lady who was incredibly friendly and even upgraded our room. The welcome fruit and small welcome cakes were a lovely touch. The hotel's medical room was also a lifesaver. When a family member experienced altitude sickness, they immediately got an IV and oxygen. Plus, we could take an oxygen tank back to the room for 780 RMB. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk to the Tibet Museum and a 10-minute walk to Norbulingka. Taxis are also readily available for getting around. The breakfast selection was extensive. While the afternoon tea and dinner options weren't vast, they were all delicious. My only minor complaint would be that upon check-in, no one escorted us to our room or helped with our luggage. For first-time guests, dragging two large suitcases and suffering from altitude sickness, it took a while to find our room.

I absolutely love Farly Hotel. The staff, both the ladies and gentlemen, are incredibly kind and welcoming. The hotel offers a wide range of activities, like spinning prayer wheels and performing sang offerings. I particularly recommend the evening sound bath experience and the morning Pilates. The instructor's stretching exercises really helped improve my posture. I also woke up early to watch the sunrise, but there's a mountain to the east of Farly, so the sun actually appears about 45 minutes after the official sunrise time. Still, it was a beautiful sight.

The room had a central air conditioning-like oxygenator, and also provided a separate portable oxygen machine, which was very good. Songtsam's room hardware is impeccable, with solid wood + brass, rustic yet high-quality. The brands of the kettle, speaker, and aroma diffuser all show good taste. The only suggestion for improvement is the hairdryer; it's an old Panasonic model that dries hair very slowly. I recommend replacing it with a Dyson or Laifen for better results. For the two dinners, I tried both the hotel's Chinese and Western restaurants, and felt the taste was just average.

The most satisfying hotel of our trip to Tibet, even better than the St. Regis Lhasa! 1. The hotel is very grand and the design is full of ******* style. 2. The location is excellent, very convenient for visiting the Jokhang Temple, and there are plenty of dining options/supermarkets nearby. 3. A special thank you goes to Manager Shiyi, a benchmark for service in the hotel industry! She called beforehand to confirm (though I missed the call), and upon arrival, upgraded our family of three to a family suite (two bedrooms and a living room, ridiculously spacious). She also recommended Xiao Pangzi Sichuan restaurant to us (which was delicious!). After checking in, any questions we had were answered very promptly, and she even allowed us to check out late at 3:30 PM, so my parents could rest well before their 4 PM high-speed train. We are truly grateful! I've never been so well taken care of as a Titanium Elite member at any Marriott property! 4. The hotel robots proactively deliver takeout to the room, a blessing for lazy people. 5. The breakfast was unexpectedly good, comparable to the St. Regis Lhasa.

I experienced Songtsam on my last night in Lhasa. The overall experience met my expectations. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the hotel's decor was very distinctive. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, so I stayed there the whole time, trying out the restaurant and watching the Princess Wencheng show nearby. The restaurant offered great value for money and delicious food. The hotel provided shuttle service to and from the Princess Wencheng show, and even offered blankets to keep us warm. Our butler, Cidan Zhuoma, was very attentive, and my birthday arrangements were fantastic!

Full of flaws, perhaps their prime location justifies the high price. The room wasn't clean; towels used by previous guests were hanging behind the door, and the shower glass was covered in water stains. The oxygen concentrator was dusty, and the sheets were stained. Despite the many flaws, there were two good points: first, the mattress was very comfortable—the most comfortable I'd had on the entire trip, and I fell asleep quickly; second, the rice noodles for breakfast were delicious.

The service was professional and very supportive. We were greeted with a Hada upon entering, which was a lovely touch reflecting the hotel's local character, and the Hada itself was of good quality. The ******* ladies were beautiful, warm, and provided excellent service, while the young men were very helpful. Breakfast was also great; even as vegetarians, we found suitable options. Overall, our stay here was excellent. We are very grateful and wish the hotel continued success in its business.
