Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Dali City

"Switching from a guesthouse to Hotel Indigo, you could feel the five-star professionalism right from the moment you walked into the lobby. The cleanliness of the rooms, the prompt service, and the extensive breakfast spread are all great reasons to stay here. This Indigo directly faces Erhai Lake, offering stunning views from the window. The rooftop pool, in particular, makes you feel fully immersed in the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake scenery—my kid and I went for a swim almost every day. It's very convenient to take kids to the Luge Park, and Hugo, a trendy restaurant, is just a 100-meter walk to the left of the hotel. However, just a heads-up: if you're a light sleeper, you might want to skip the lake-facing rooms, as the traffic noise from the road can be quite noticeable. The rooms on the other side are actually much more spacious and offer better value."

"Facilities: Excellent and high-end, comparable to a star-rated hotel. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Located in the Haidong Dali Mansion Villa area, quiet and comfortable. Service: The owner is warm and attentive. Dedicated pick-up/drop-off service: You can contact the owner in advance to arrange airport/station transfers. I especially want to mention that from the balcony and rooftop of the hotel rooms, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. If you're lucky, you might even capture the Klein blue sky and magnificent sunset! "

"A truly wonderful boutique hotel. The location is excellent, close to the train station and right by Erhai Lake, perfect for leisurely strolls and photos. The common areas are beautifully decorated in a European style, complete with a small swimming pool, complimentary laundry service, and relaxing lounge areas. Our room was incredibly spacious, very clean, and featured a bathtub, balcony, refrigerator, and its own unique touch (a huge Teddy bear!). The food was delicious, and they even specially prepared bread for me. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming."

"Egg-themed family room. My kids were so excited they didn't want to leave from the moment we walked in! 🥳 The room comes with its own private hot spring bath, so you can enjoy water play without even stepping outside. They've thought of all the details, with a full set of children's toiletries and parent-child amenities. The hotel's rooftop terrace is incredibly fun! The infinity pool directly overlooks Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, with tons of photo spots. Spiral staircase, 'sky mirror' – you can easily snap atmospheric, blockbuster-worthy photos. The top floor also has a dedicated play area for children."

"Everything are as described , nice hot private pool, comfortable beddings, good water pressure, smart toilet and come with personal sauna  (situated in our bathroom) as well !  We have booked the big room with all these facilities, pick up from station, as well as high tea and a bottle of wine, great to unwind and relax in this hotel, and enjoying the great view of Erhai, highly recommend this hotel.  The staffs were friendly and helpful as well."

"Back in Dali, I decided to revisit the Xianyun 360-degree Cliff Seaview Hot Spring B&B, and it truly lived up to expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive. I later found out that the humble and helpful manager, who was always ready to assist, was also from Beijing, which made me feel right at home. The B&B's environment is serene and immaculate. The private hot spring pool in the room is definitely the highlight. Soaking in the hot spring, you're directly facing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake – it's like a landscape painting come to life. During my downtime, I loved sitting on the balcony, gazing at Cangshan and Erhai, which was incredibly therapeutic after a long journey. The restaurant's dishes were delicious and flavorful. My experience was as excellent as ever, truly a hidden gem of a seaview B&B. Choosing to stay here twice speaks volumes about its reliable quality. It’s my top choice when visiting Dali, highly recommended! Amenities: Excellent Hygiene: Good Environment: Beautiful Service: Fantastic"
