Liuru Retreat | A Part of the Old Town's Soul  

In the heart of Lijiang's Old Town on Qiyi Street near the South Gate, Liuru Lodge is a boutique courtyard hotel about 2 km from the city center. Built along the water's edge with meltwater from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain threading behind it, the property feels both ancient and deliberately modern.

Song Dynasty minimalism sets the mood—upturned eaves, dougong brackets and carved windows frame a 500-square-meter courtyard. Rooms pair clean wooden furniture with muted soft textiles; expect in-room TVs, a mini-bar and slippers, with exact amenities varying by room type.

Stand-out features include a sun-drenched courtyard for tea, a cozy library, picnic area, an on-site bar and restaurant, plus a shared kitchen for self-catering. Practical comforts: parking, elevator access for guests with disabilities, laundry, ironing and concierge services.

A conference hall on-site accommodates meetings and small events.

Enjoy the hotel restaurant and bar, or make your own meals in the shared kitchen. Sip tea in the courtyard and let nearby Old Town flavors guide your culinary explorations.
