Hotel Indigo Lijiang Ancient Town  

Perched at the Southern Gate of the Tea Horse Caravan Trail in Lijiang Ancient Town, this 5-star hotel puts you minutes from the Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum and close to Chamber and Yuyin Building, Mu Family Mansion and local murals. It’s a convenient base for exploring the old town and nearby cultural sites. Family-friendly room options are available.

The design fuses caravan culture and local folklore with signature artwork—think horse-silhouette closets and sweeping murals of nearby Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Rooms (70 total) come with minibars, bathrobes, hair dryers, coffee/tea makers and turndown service; cribs/infant beds can be requested. Social nooks like a giant copper birdcage lounge add playful character.

Diverse on-site spaces include a Tea House for traditional tea ceremonies, a bold lounge area built from original horse saddles, and an event space for gatherings. There’s a restaurant and a bar/lounge on property, plus personalized service and practical room touches like minibars and turndown service.

A dedicated business center and event space support meetings and social functions. Limo/town car service and dry cleaning/laundry services are available for convenience.

The on-site restaurant serves authentic Naxi dishes, presented as if set between snow-capped peaks. A bar/lounge is available for drinks and breakfast is offered for a fee; the Tea House provides a quieter spot for ceremonial tea and local flavors.
