China Old Story Inns Dali Elite Garden  

Tucked inside Dali Ancient Town between the South Gate and the Wenwen Building. Steps from Dali Wenxian Road, a short drive to Erhai Lake, and within easy reach of Three Pagodas and Cangshan National Geopark.

A boutique inn with 32 individually decorated rooms, each room tells a local story with ethnic-style artwork. The lobby doubles as a coffee shop; the courtyard features a quiet ‘Crane Roost Pier’ installation and a glass bridge. Some rooms have bathtubs, all use high-end TOTO sanitaryware, offer 24-hour hot water, heating/cooling, slippers, and daily housekeeping.

Rooftop terrace and garden spaces soak up the sun. Rent bicycles, fire up the barbecue grills, or lose yourself in the library and bar. Full Wi‑Fi coverage, concierge and tour desk, on-site parking, vehicle rental (car, scooter, bike), and airport/train pick-up available for a surcharge.

A business center, conference hall and event facilities handle meetings and gatherings. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, with 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry and lobby newspapers for convenience.

A restaurant serves guests and buffet breakfast is available daily (7:30–9:30, fee applies). Enjoy a relaxed drink in the bar, order room service, or brew your own in the shared kitchen. The lobby coffee shop pairs books with a good cup.
