[2025 Dali Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Indigo Dali Erhai (Updated Mar)

🚗 Super convenient location! It's only 3 km from Dali Railway Station, a short taxi ride away, making getting around super easy. 🏨 Wonderful check-in experience The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly. Not only did they give us welcome drink vouchers as IHG members, but they also gave us vouchers for the afternoon tea buffet. It was pure bliss! 🛏️ Great room with a view We stayed in Room 25, a mountain-view room on the 6th floor. The modern design was a breath of fresh air! The most surprising thing was that, even though it was a mountain-view room, we could still see part of Erhai Lake. The room was also more spacious than the mountain-view room next door. Welcome fruits and flower cakes were already prepared, and my child couldn't get enough of the flower cakes! The minibar was replenished daily for free, and the tamarind juice was a must-have—we had to have two cans every day! 👦🏻 Plenty of cultural activities The hotel had organized many activities for the summer. With the help of the front desk staff, my child managed to find three ospreys and even got a mug with the hotel logo on it. They were over the moon! 🏊🏻‍♂️ Bonus points for the pool with a view The pool and gym on the 11th floor were amazing! You can see Erhai Lake from the corridor, and the pool, which faces the lake, has an incredible view. Every photo you take there is a masterpiece. The water in the children's pool was a comfortable temperature, and the shallow water was perfect for kids to play in. 🍳 Diverse breakfast options The breakfast had a wide variety of choices. Although we were seated in the conference room because of the summer crowds, the special desserts for IHG members were a nice touch. We preferred choosing our own dishes, though. The only slight disappointment was that the Xizhou baba was a bit hard, maybe because we went a little late. ✨ Overall impression Attentive service, constant little surprises, and tons of sincerity. We'll definitely choose this hotel again next time we're in Dali!

Best value for money in Dali The most representative features of hotels and homestays in Dali are the 270-degree view of Erhai Lake and floor-to-ceiling windows. This hotel offers both for just a few hundred yuan, which is incredible value for money. I stayed at the Dali Erhai Indigo for all 4 nights of my trip to Dali. The room is not very big, but the view is unbeatable. Lying in bed or on the balcony to enjoy the sea view are both great options. You can even enjoy the view from the sink or bathtub. The room is equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and Bose speakers. In addition to the slippers for use in the room, there are also Crocs for going out in spring, summer, and autumn, which is very thoughtful. The welcome fruit and snacks are quite good, and the mini fridge is free and refilled every day, which is great! The front desk faces Erhai Lake, and the entire lobby is already decorated for Christmas, which creates a great atmosphere. There is a 30-meter-long floor-to-ceiling window. The hotel is full of beautiful scenery, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of every corridor. Even the public restrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows. The gym and swimming pool have amazing views.

The best international brand hotel with views of Erhai Lake in Dali is now six years old! Unknowingly, Hotel Indigo Dali Erhai has reached its sixth year, and today is the hotel's sixth birthday. I still remember the background when the hotel opened. At that time, most inns and B&Bs by Erhai Lake were ordered to close for rectification, and the hotel's unbeatable views of Erhai Lake were undoubtedly unique in Dali at that time. Since its opening, the hotel is still the best international brand hotel with views of Erhai Lake in Dali. I love the long lobby space on the second floor of the hotel, the guest rooms facing Erhai Lake, and the infinity pool on the top floor, all of which are the hotel's highlights. On the hotel's sixth birthday, the all-day dining restaurant "Neighborhood Café" launched a new theme "Desert BBQ" food festival, with a variety of barbecues to enjoy. Go to a windy place, stay at Hotel Indigo Dali Erhai, enjoy the beauty and comfort of Erhai Lake under Cangshan Mountain, and go out to explore the neighborhood culture of Dali.

Dali is located in the center of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. It has a north subtropical plateau monsoon climate with no obvious seasons. Dali was the capital of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom. In the Han Dynasty, Dali was established as Yeyu County, which belonged to Yizhou County. The main attractions include Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, a national scenic spot and nature reserve, and Dali Ancient City, a national historical and cultural city. Erhai Lake, formerly known as Kunming Pool, is a narrow lake and the second largest lake in Yunnan after Dianchi Lake. It belongs to the Lancang River Basin. Hotel Indigo Dali Erhai has a great location and great views. It is located on Binhai Avenue, adjacent to Erhai Park. You can enjoy the beauty of the wind, flowers, snow, and moon. On this self-driving tour to Tengchong, we passed through Langzhong, Ya'an, and Xichang. From Xichang to Dali, we passed the Jinsha River, Panzhihua, and Dukou, which is also known as the Steel City and the southernmost part of Sichuan. It is the first city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The Jinsha River and Yalong River converge here. Entering Yunnan, we passed through Yongsheng County, the land of fish and rice in Yunnan. There is a lake here, Chenghai Lake, which is smaller than Erhai Lake, but it is relatively wild and has a great ecological environment. It is also a lake in the Jinsha River Basin. There is also the Nujiang Grand Canyon. The scenery is amazing. The highways, roads, culverts, and bridges in Yunnan are all very good. We arrived in Dali very smoothly and easily. We stayed at the international brand Hotel Indigo. The hotel is indeed beautiful and luxurious. The lobby is on the second floor with a wide view. The sea view from the sea view room is beautiful. Breakfast and dinner are both very good. The hotel provides Dali beer, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon. You must drink some. Members are also given drinks at the lobby bar. Have a glass of red wine, and you will feel even better. Take a walk along Erhai Lake in the evening. It is beautiful and wonderful. It is indeed true. I came to Dali many years ago. This time, I saw great changes. I have seen Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, and Dali Ancient City. This time, I took a 90-year-old to Tengchong. I was in a hurry and only stayed in Dali for one night. I will definitely come here again for a vacation. Good times.

Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel experience I originally wanted to stay in a homestay, but I found that it was similar to a hotel, so I finally chose Indigo. I chose a 140-degree lake view room due to limited budget. If you don't care, you can choose the most ordinary room type. The public part of the hotel is very design. Location: Near Dali Station, a bit far from Shuanglang and Haixi Line... Breakfast: Not many varieties, but there must be rice noodles~ and ice cream. IHG members will also give a glass of wine and glutinous rice balls. Guest room: The room type is a bit strange, and the area is small. But the bed facing the sea is still beautiful~ The room is also very new. ▼Gym: I visited it, it's not big, but facing the sea, I knew I would leave some time for fitness. Parking: Underground parking lot, need to register at the front desk. Service: It gives people a feeling of being at home, the same as the Xiamen Indigo I stayed in last time. I stayed in a hurry for one night, and I will choose it next time I go to Dali.

day1: Chartered a car for a round-the-island tour. Happily and easily checked off all the island attractions! Also rode a horse up the Ancient Tea Horse Road to see the full view of Dali Erhai! Had Thai Dai-style fish wrap for dinner! It was so delicious! day2: Slept in and had brunch, then leisurely went to explore more attractions in the afternoon. The ancient town was fun with delicious stone-grilled food, checked in at Longkan Wharf⛵️ to enjoy the scenery, and cycling along the ecological corridor was truly a day full of endorphins! Watched the sunset and moonrise at the hotel in the evening! day3: Missed hotpot, so woke up naturally in the morning, checked in at a Chongqing hotpot place in the afternoon, which satisfied my stomach! Then took a walk around the lake and returned to the hotel! Healthy digestion and beautiful scenery! day4: Slept in, happily had breakfast, enjoyed the rain view from the hotel window, and after the rain, Dali was like a fairyland with clouds and mist! Enjoyed the rain and clouds! Full of emotions!

Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel Today I visited the Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel and toured the hotel's 180-degree full lake view suite. Review of the guest room: As the room type that is second only to the presidential suite in the entire hotel, this lake view suite undoubtedly proves its strength. The entrance features a sofa + living room with a soaking pool design that is conflicting but novel, and the small terrace on the right side exiting the room is very much in the style of Indigo. The bedroom area with a large bed + sofa by the window + tea table/massage chair is indeed fully equipped. The bathroom has a dry/wet separation + combined sink + large bathtub, but the overall area is not large. Both the living room bathroom and the guest bedroom bathroom have smart toilets. Overall, this room is quite nice, but the room price of over 8000 is a bit outrageous. Personally, I think 5000+ would already be quite generous. Normally, upgrading with a high card probably wouldn't get you this room type, so this price is just for looking. Review of the public area: This Indigo backs onto Erhai Park. Although the building is not tall, it covers a large area. The first floor is for hotel reception + buffet restaurant + grand banquet hall. The buffet restaurant has a rich selection, but since it's the only restaurant in the hotel, it also mixes Western a la carte + Chinese private dining rooms. Personally, I find the private dining rooms average, with no view and small space. The second floor has the hotel's small meeting rooms + front desk + lobby bar + tea bar + book bar. The design of the lobby bar is great and very pretty, with colors and elements of seagulls that are pleasing. The tea bar is also quite antique. The book bar was not open, and the meeting rooms have a different style. Floors 3-9 are for guest rooms, with no lounge. The 11th floor is the hotel's fitness level. The swimming pool is large and also has two small window-side pools convenient for checking in and taking photos, but the gym is relatively small. Overall, the hotel doesn't have a lot of content, but one point better than Junfa Pullman is that the sea view is quite clean, with no obstructions. The room card is pretty, took it as a souvenir.

Erhai Lake is a reason many people visit Dali, and staying by the lake was one of the experiences I wanted on this trip to Dali. There are not many high-end chain hotels by the Erhai Lake in Dali. Before coming, I was hesitating between the Indigo, the Hilton, and the Pullman, after reading many reviews and looking at pictures, I still preferred the view from the Indigo's lake view room, so I booked a 140-degree lake view deluxe twin room for two nights. The hotel is located in Xiaguan Town, near Erhai Park, on the south side of Erhai Lake. It's quite close to Dali Station, I took a taxi right after getting off the high-speed train, and it took just over ten minutes to get there. It's a bit of a distance from Dali Ancient Town, and it takes about half an hour by taxi. Upon arrival, the hotel's concierge was at the door to greet and guide guests to the second-floor lobby for check-in. Most hotels incorporate local cultural elements into their design, and this Indigo integrates elements of the Bai ethnicity, with tie-dye style installations and paintings everywhere. As soon as you get out of the elevator to the second-floor lobby, you can see the vast Erhai Lake view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel's lobby bar is also on the second floor, part of it facing the sea and part behind the front desk area. The ceiling is decorated with motifs of Shangguan flowers, and sitting here for a coffee, chatting, or business is a nice atmosphere. During my stay, I even bumped into a blogger I follow filming a video~ The room decoration is quite simple, the bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas, and there is a bathtub next to the washbasin🛁. The hairdryer is a classic model from Dyson, and the mini-bar is replenished daily. As soon as you enter the room, you can see Erhai Lake through the window next to the washbasin and the large scenic window! The window by the washbasin is retractable, and when you need a mirror for washing, you can close it for use. There is a long sofa in front of the window where you can enjoy the view of Erhai Lake outside; the two beds face the scenic window directly, so you can see the beautiful view from bed in the morning, starting the day with the scenery of Erhai Lake. The bedding is also very nice, comfortable to sleep in, with a moderate firmness. One point of dissatisfaction is that the room is too stuffy, and since the room faces the street, there are quite a few speed bumps on the road below, so if you open the window, it's actually quite noisy with the traffic. Regarding the hotel's service, during the two days of my stay, I asked the staff for help several times with things like picking up parcels, delivering room supplies, and assisting with storage, and each time the response was very timely and the attitude was good, thumbs up~ 〰〰〰〰〰 Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel 📍Hotel Address: No. 015 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan Town, Dali City 🕐Renovation Time: 2017 🛏Room Type: 140-degree Lake View Deluxe Room

Unconsciously, the Indigo Hotel in Dali Erhai Sky has reached its sixth year, and yesterday was the hotel's sixth birthday. I still remember the background of the hotel when it opened. At that time, most of the guesthouses and homestays on the edge of Erhai Lake were ordered to stop business for rectification. The hotel's invincible view of Erhai Lake was undoubtedly the unique existence in Dali at that time. 1. Since its opening, the hotel is still the best international brand hotel with the best view of Erhai Lake in Dali. I love the long lobby space on the second floor of the hotel, the guest rooms facing Erhai Lake, and the infinity pool on the top floor, which are all the hotel's ace highlights; 2. As a traveler, I have been staying in the hotel since its opening. Over the past six years, I have stayed in the hotel many times, and I am a traveler who has watched the hotel grow. Every time I stay, I will unlock different room types, and I will also find changes in the hotel's decoration, improvements in service, and continuous upgrades in quality of stay; 3. There are many design elements and art pieces in the hotel's public areas, guest rooms, restaurants and other spaces, which I personally quite like. The decorative shiny flowers in the lobby space, the design inspiration comes from the "flower" of "wind, flower, moon and snow"; in the lobby space, you can also see many "seagulls" pieces that seem to stay in the waters of Erhai Lake; the color of the cushions in the leisure seats is unique to the Dali Bai people The tie-dye blue; by the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are also many art pieces in the shape of a saddle. Indigo's design sense has, there are local elements; 4. Just mentioned that the view of Erhai Lake is the hotel's ace highlight, it can be said that it is really the hotel's killer. The hotel is built by Erhai Lake, and it is only a road away from Erhai Lake. In terms of room view, more than 80% of the hotel's rooms have a good view of Erhai Lake. There are popular room types such as 140-degree lake view superior, 180-degree lake view deluxe, and 270-degree Cangshan Erhai view room. Staying here is like moving Erhai directly into the room. It is worth mentioning that the hardware of the guest rooms is also quite good. Almost all rooms are equipped with Bose speakers, capsule coffee machines, etc., to meet the quality pursuit of modern travel life; 5. Guests staying in the hotel must go to the indoor constant temperature swimming pool with a magnificent view of Erhai Lake for swimming. There is an invincible view to accompany, swimming is more powerful. And this is the most popular travel photo check-in place in the hotel, and there is also a gym next to it, which also includes the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, which is really super beautiful. There are also two bubble pools next to the swimming pool, which are very suitable for children to play in the water, and are very popular with parent guests; 6. On the day of the hotel's sixth anniversary, the all-day restaurant "Changjie Neighborhood" also renewed its buffet theme and launched the new theme "Desert Wind and Sand Barbecue" food festival. Without meat, all kinds of barbecue can be enjoyed. This restaurant has been operating so far, has won a group of stable customers and the reputation is not bad, it is a restaurant in Dali hotel that insists on opening a buffet dinner every day. 7. This time I stayed in the hotel, I found that the lobby bar also launched an 88 yuan afternoon tea buffet, the variety of desserts is considered a lot, there are also fruits, snacks, etc., coffee drinks are also available, the form of buffet, actually quite cost-effective. Go to a place with wind, stay in the Indigo Hotel in Dali Erhai Sky, enjoy the comfort of the beautiful Cangshan and Erhai Lake, go out and explore the neighboring culture of Dali.

🍃Head to the place with the wind, Dali, with its comfortable pace of life, pleasant climate, and picturesque scenery everywhere, has become a destination many yearn for. On a first visit to Dali, touring around Erhai Lake is almost a must-do for every traveler; however, after cycling under the scorching sun and strong winds along the entire west line, despite the intoxicating scenery along the way, one can't help but feel tired. At this moment, I prefer to find a quiet and comfortable lakeside residence, immerse my body and mind in nature, and completely relax and lie flat, which is the ultimate experience of life in Dali. 💙As for accommodation, I personally don't like homestays, the cheap ones are uncomfortable, and the comfortable ones are not cost-effective. After much consideration, I finally arrived at the Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel, and stayed in a 180-degree lake view one-bedroom suite. As I opened the door, it seemed as if I embraced the entire Erhai Lake, with full floor-to-ceiling windows, a large balcony, a large terrace, and even a massage chair and treadmill. Staying in the room to enjoy the unbeatable view of Erhai Lake, with the lake and mountains in full view, watching Cangshan Mountain like ink and Erhai Lake like a mirror; witnessing the sunrise and sunset, the clouds rolling and relaxing, each frame is a beautiful poetic painting. 🌟Having been open for many years, Indigo is still the best international brand hotel with Erhai Lake views in Dali. The layout of the two buildings adjacent to the lakeshore ensures that most of the rooms enjoy an unparalleled lake view. The design of the public areas cleverly integrates Indigo's brand characteristics with local cultural elements, making the stay experience more uniquely charming. ☕️The second-floor lobby bar boasts an open and unobstructed lake view, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a long skylight design, allowing ample sunlight to fill the space, creating a bright and comfortable resting environment. Here, savoring exquisite afternoon tea, accompanied by the beautiful lake and mountain scenery, you can enjoy the leisurely moments of vacation. 🏊‍♂️Staying at Indigo, one must go to the rooftop indoor constant temperature swimming pool for a swim. The pool is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, combined with a skylight design on the top, allowing sunlight to pour down, the clear water surface reflecting the Erhai Lake outside the window, forming a wonderful scene of water blending with the sky, giving a unique visual feast during the swim. ✅Choosing Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel means choosing to enjoy a beautiful and comfortable life under Cangshan Mountain and beside Erhai Lake. If you want to visit the surrounding attractions, explore Dali's rich history, culture, and natural scenery, such as Dali Ancient Town, Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas, Xizhou Ancient Town, Shaxi Ancient Town, and many famous historical sites along Erhai Lake, all are easily accessible from the hotel.

Facing Erhai Lake, flowers bloom in all four seasons The lobby of Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel is located on the second floor, and there is a transparent winding staircase from the first to the second floor. In the middle hangs colorful petal-shaped glass ornaments, light and elegant, which people really like. The Snow Moon Tower 180-degree Erhai Lake view room places the bed directly facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can watch the changing scenery of Cangshan Erhai Lake while lying in bed. It's very enjoyable and makes you not want to get up, just want to lie there and watch.

🏩It is well known that there are many homestay hotels on the edge of Erhai Lake in Dali, but for the sake of hygiene, vision, environment, service and other dimensions, I still chose a five-star hotel. Unexpectedly, it exceeded expectations. 🏩Hotel: Dali Erhai Indigo Hotel 📍Detailed address: No. 015, Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan Town, Dali, Yunnan Province Hotel environment 🍃This Indigo is located on the edge of Erhai Lake, just at a fjord, with a panoramic view of the scenery. Check-in is on the floor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can relax instantly. Walk down the stairs and you can reach the edge of Erhai Lake in two steps. Buy a cup of ☕️ coffee, you can relax here for an afternoon, rest and relax. Room facilities 🛏Because I booked a lake view room, and then upgraded the suite, it's really worth it, with a super large layout, you can run directly inside, the beautiful scenery is unobstructed, with a round bathtub and a large bed. Hotel service 👩🏻‍💼The service of Indigo is definitely guaranteed. The service is really good, the service level of international five-star hotels, very comfortable, responsive, 24-hour standby, the response speed is also very fast, and according to the needs of guests, some upgrades can also be made. Catering recommendation 🍽Buffet restaurant, that is, breakfast, there are actually quite a lot of choices, don't worry about not liking it. It also combines local characteristics, with special rice noodles 🍜 and so on, which is a good breakfast buffet in a five-star hotel. Must experience ✅🏋🏻Gym, my favorite.

Surrounding attractions Jizhao Temple About 9.5 kilometers Jinsuo Island About 9.9 kilometers Erhai Cruise About 1.3 kilometers

Wind caresses the moon as it leans over Erhai Lake Clouds roll and relax against Cang Mountain Indigo Hotel in the sky of Dali Erhai Lake 180° lake view single bedroom suite The first-line sea view is really lovely💫 🕊️The hotel is located above Xiaguan Binhai Avenue, not far from the surrounding attractions. You can see Erhai Lake and the seagulls flying by the sea as soon as you open your eyes every day, which makes you feel very happy and enjoyable. 🎄The lobby design integrates the regional culture of Dali, such as tie-dyeing, cloud eagle and other cultural elements~ I really like the floor-to-ceiling windows here, which can directly overlook Erhai Lake, as if there is a refreshing feeling of sea breeze. The hotel's holiday atmosphere is also very strong as Christmas approaches~ 🍽️I also like the hotel restaurant, which is designed with elements of Dali Bai nationality's March Street. It feels like being in the bustling March Street market. The breakfast is also very rich, with a taste that caters to the public without losing local characteristics. 🏊‍♀️The hotel also has a 24-hour gym and a constant temperature swimming pool. This configuration is very good in Dali. Overlooking the cityscape from the 11th floor, Erhai Lake is in front of you, and the feeling of exercise is different. 🌳The wind in Xiaguan blows the flowers in Shangguan. I really suggest that you leave 1-2 days to visit Xiaguan when you arrive in Dali or are about to leave Dali. This is a city area, close to the high-speed rail station and the airport, and it is also a good place to watch the sunrise and feed seagulls in the morning!
