5-Star Hotels in Kunming

This trip was a last-minute decision. I booked the hotel after 1 AM and was pleasantly surprised after landing and checking in. As someone who pays close attention to hotel details, especially since Kunming is always just a layover during my trips to Yunnan, I have to say Papman is truly amazing. First, the service: I received a fresh flower basket upon check-in, and the hotel butler was incredibly attentive, responding promptly to all my requests. They even sent a freshly made cake for our wedding anniversary, which was delicious and high-quality. Second, the room amenities: The vanity had a full box of soft facial tissues, makeup remover wipes, mouthwash, and laundry detergent. There was a Dyson hairdryer, and the shower had a dry/wet separation with push-button controls. Third, the hotel's decor: Every step revealed a beautiful view, and there were multiple tea rooms available for guests to use for free. The rooftop on the third floor offered spectacular photo opportunities. Walking around the hotel at night, I was delighted to see the shadow of a deer cast by the镂空灯 (镂空灯 - 'cut-out' or 'pierced' lamps). Fourth, the food: We received complimentary afternoon tea with tasty desserts, and the late-night snack selection was extensive, including rice noodles, fried potatoes, 'bao jiang' tofu, and grilled skewers. The salted peanuts, especially the Yunnan 'xiaohua' black peanuts, were excellent; I immediately asked if I could buy a can to take home. All in all, I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Kunming!

This garden hotel is absolutely stunning! The garden is like a huge energy field; a walk through it every evening recharges you. A big thank you to the lovely front desk lady who arranged a beautiful room with a direct view of the garden – it was so refreshing to open the window each day. The swimming pool is also fantastic! It's deep and spacious, with excellent water quality, making for a truly enjoyable swim. The room was cleaned promptly, and the housekeepers thoughtfully left four bottles of water, all neatly arranged! I was able to add the butler on WeChat, and during my five-night stay, I received fruit for three days, and two cans of coffee as a farewell gift! Our room rate included breakfast and dinner, and for all five nights, the food at the restaurant was consistently excellent! The Yunnan local dishes, in particular, were so delicious they almost brought tears to my eyes! The rice noodles were incredible, with four different types of toppings! I had rice noodles for both breakfast and dinner! The fruit selection was also abundant, with seven or eight varieties. I especially loved their freshly squeezed juices, particularly the cucumber juice. And they have an Indian chef whose flying bread and curry are simply divine! The location is superb! A short walk through Haigeng Hall leads you directly to Haigeng Dam, making it incredibly convenient to see the seagulls! Xishan and Haihong Wetland are also not far, perfect for a leisurely stroll. I hope to stay at InterContinental Hotel again on my next visit to Dianchi Lake. The quality and service far exceeded my expectations!

I stayed for three consecutive nights and was very satisfied with both the hotel's environment and service. The front desk staff, lobby attendants, and doormen all demonstrated excellent service awareness. In particular, customer service representative Annie called me before my arrival to confirm my estimated arrival time and any specific needs for my stay. As I was traveling with a child, I shared some requests with her. Upon checking in, I was delighted to find that the room was prepared with everything a child might need, including toiletries, slippers, dental kits, and bathrobes. They even complimentary children's breakfast. I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for this. If I visit Kunming again, this will definitely be my top choice!

My stay at the Wanda Realm Hotel in Chenggong, Kunming, was excellent overall, and I highly recommend it. The hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Chenggong, offering convenient access to public transportation, including a nearby metro station and Wanda Plaza. This makes it incredibly easy to get around, whether you're traveling for business, enjoying some shopping and dining, or heading to the high-speed train station. It's truly a great choice for both business travelers and tourists. The hotel's overall ambiance is upscale and elegant. The lobby is spacious and bright with sophisticated decor, and the public areas are clean, tidy, and offer a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. The attention to detail truly reflects its quality, making you feel relaxed and at ease the moment you walk in. The front desk service was particularly outstanding. The staff were warm, polite, and provided excellent service with a smile. Check-in was efficient and quick, and they were patient and thorough throughout. They proactively offered information about hotel facilities, local attractions, and travel tips, and promptly answered any questions I had. Their professionalism and thoughtfulness made me feel incredibly welcome. The room itself was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bedding was comfortable. The soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a high quality of rest. With its standardized service, first-class environment, and convenient location, this hotel is a top choice in the Chenggong area of Kunming. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kunming, and I genuinely recommend it to all my friends.

The hotel's decor is a bit old-fashioned, but all the facilities work perfectly. The air conditioning cools exceptionally well, and the shower has stable water pressure and temperature. The bedding and linens meet high hotel standards. The soft services were noticeably warm and thoughtful, especially the restaurant manager's service, which was the best I've experienced in all the hotels I've stayed at. Seeing that I was mostly taking Western breakfast items, she proactively asked if I wanted an iced Americano and even specially brought us two bowls of their signature rice noodles. The experience was truly nice!

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. I was quite hesitant before choosing it, especially after reading about the negative elevator incident, which made me really worry about safety. So, every time I took the elevator during my stay, I was on edge. The main reason I decided to stay was for the hot springs and swimming pool, as it's been raining a lot in Kunming recently, and I figured we'd just enjoy the hotel. Honestly, I wasn't particularly impressed with the service, and the facilities are quite old, very old. If it weren't for the constant rain and traveling with a child, I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel. Especially after visiting Fuxian Lake, the comparison really highlighted its shortcomings.

We love this hotel, despite some shortcomings. The location and facilities are beautiful and the food is teallly good. The restaurant service for some reason is dramatically chaotic, but we’ve gotten used to it. We had some inconsiderate guests in the room next to us who brought an entire barbecue set onto their balcony, stinking up our balcony and room. Sam was quick to move us to another room and was very apologetic. Hé is a true saving grace in this hotel. The recreation staff has also been very helpful and we had a lovely kayaking experience.

Choosing the Green Lake Hotel had a sentimental aspect for me. In my youth, I used to visit Yunnan every year, spending a day or two in Kunming each time. And every time I was in Kunming, I'd go to Green Lake, where I'd see the magnificent and bustling Green Lake Hotel. But due to various circumstances, I never got to stay there. Now, with more time on my hands, I finally managed to check it off my list. Although the Green Lake Hotel has aged, just like me, its essence remains, and it didn't disappoint. The location, right in the prime spot of Green Lake, goes without saying. The room, though small, was quite comfortable, and the breakfast met five-star hotel standards. The service, in particular, stood out. Li Ying (senior), Xiao Xi, and Xiao Xiao at the front desk patiently helped us adjust our room, always attentive and friendly. Upon check-out, Mr. Zhang Can and a lady escorted us to our car and even gave us a souvenir. Overall, the experience was great. To use a popular phrase these days, 'even an old Ferrari is still a Ferrari'.

It's rare to find a hotel that truly feels like a home away from home, but Bolian Hot Spring Resort certainly does! First, let's talk about the service. We stayed during the off-season, so there weren't many staff around, but you could still feel the warmth and professionalism from everyone, from our butler Dashi to the restaurant, hot springs, and front desk staff. The front desk staff even multi-tasked, making us tea and driving us to our room. Their professional training was evident throughout our stay. Even though the hotel has been open for twenty years, it doesn't feel old or dated at all. Every corner of the hotel is picturesque, and the hot springs are fantastic. The courtyard in our room was breathtakingly beautiful. To our pleasant surprise, the restaurant's food was delicious, with excellent Yunnan cuisine. We will definitely be back again. The hotel also provided complimentary executive car airport transfers and vouchers that could be used for dining or spa services at the hotel, which was a very nice touch.

This hotel was the best one during our entire Yunnan trip. The room wasn't huge, but it was very well-designed and matched the price perfectly. One thing that was really important for me as a mom was that there was no carpet in the room. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and responsible; you could tell they operate with high standards. The lifeguard was constantly patrolling around the pool, and the front desk staff were also very attentive. The gym's front desk person was responsible and proactive. After my 8-year-old son went for a swim, he went to the men's changing room by himself to shower. When I went to the front desk to ask, I realized the exit for the men's changing room wasn't in the direction we entered the pool area. I was a bit worried, and a staff member immediately went to find my son for me. When they saw me fumbling to help my son change, they quickly took his swimsuit to spin-dry it and pack it up for us. When we were leaving, the concierge, who was quite far away, actually jogged over to help us with our luggage.
