This is my third time staying here! The best hotel in Shangri-La.

Nestled in the heart of Shangri-La's Dukezong Ancient City lies a tranquil and poetic retreat: the Sanji Liulu Resort Hotel. More than just a place to rest during your travels, it's a spiritual home where you can calm your mind and connect with Tibetan culture. Inspired by traditional Tibetan residences and incorporating modern minimalist design, the hotel cleverly combines stone walls, wooden beams, and large windows. This preserves the solidity of Tibetan architecture while giving the space a transparent, modern feel. The public area centers around a "hearth," creating a warm social atmosphere. Tibetan carpets, handmade bronzeware, thangkas, and other elements are dotted throughout, telling the story of Shangri-La. The hotel offers a variety of rooms, from cozy Tibetan-style standard rooms to spacious suites, all equipped with underfloor heating, humidifiers, and other amenities to ensure a comfortable stay on the plateau. The rooms are decorated in wood and earth tones, with Tibetan furniture and modern facilities coexisting harmoniously. Some rooms have balconies with panoramic views of the ancient city or the snow-capped mountains. High-quality bedding and a quiet environment provide guests with a deep sleep experience on the plateau. The restaurant serves authentic Tibetan cuisine, such as yak hot pot, butter tea, and tsampa, using fresh ingredients and traditional flavors. The culinary team combines Tibetan ingredients with modern cooking techniques to create unique and innovative dishes. The restaurant has an elegant setting where you can enjoy delicious food while admiring the scenery of the ancient city. The well-stocked library offers a wide range of books on Tibetan culture, travel, literature, and more, providing guests with intellectual nourishment. The tranquil tea room offers Pu'er tea, Tibetan tea, and other varieties, where you can enjoy tea, meditate, and experience the tranquility of Tibet. The comfortable leisure area is perfect for chatting, daydreaming, and enjoying the slow pace of life. The hotel is located in the ancient city, within walking distance of Moonlight Square, Turtle Mountain Park, and the Great Buddha Temple, where you can experience Tibetan Buddhist culture and the historical charm of the ancient city. Songzanlin Monastery is about 5 km from the hotel and is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province, known as the "Little Potala Palace."
