[2025 Ninglang Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Indigo Lugu Lake (Updated Apr)

Stayed at Indigo Lugu Lake Hotel and chose to dine at the hotel's neighborhood restaurant. The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was captivated by the design style. The decor showcases modern artistic techniques, yet cleverly integrates Chinese and Yunnan-Burmese cultural elements. It's very beautiful! The dishes mainly feature Yunnan-Burmese flavors, such as lamb chops, char siu, pork belly, thick soup, pot soup, and rice noodles. The taste was decent, and the three of us had a satisfying meal. Yunnan-Burmese cuisine is characterized by its freshness, light fragrance, moderate sourness and spiciness, and emphasis on the original taste and flavor. The restaurant did a good job in this regard, showcasing the distinctive features of the ethnic minority cuisine.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 During this trip to Lijiang, we went to Lugu Lake and stayed for one night just to stay at the Hotel Indigo Lugu Lake, which was newly opened last year. The novel and fashionable modern architecture blends with the natural landscape, and it is surrounded by mountains and water, with picturesque scenery. Hotel Indigo excels in incorporating local characteristics into its design. The Mosuo decorative ornaments of Lugu Lake in the lobby are quite distinctive, giving the novel and modern hotel a more cultural and artistic atmosphere. In particular, there is a lake in front, surrounded by covered bridges on the side, and the snow-capped mountains in the back, which is quite beautiful. The room we stayed in was a top-level room, which was 40 square meters in size. It had brightly colored carpets and Mosuo cultural bedside murals. It was comfortable and bright, and the stay was excellent, especially the picturesque scenery outside the window. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery by staying in the room. The room rate including breakfast on weekdays is NT$6,000. I used points to redeem it during a special promotion and was able to book it for around NT$4,000, which is a great deal! #YunnanTravel #Lugu Lake #Lijiang Ancient Town #Yulong Snow Mountain #indigo

It is like a guardian of Mosuo culture, quietly telling a thousand-year story. - 🌿 The hotel's garden design is even more ingenious. The miniature landscape shows several major attractions of Lugu Lake, including the romance of the Walking Marriage Bridge, the tenderness of the Lover's Beach, the leisurely pig trough boat... As if you were in it, you can feel the changing seasons of Lugu Lake, wind, rain, sunshine and snow. 🌊 - 🎨 How can you not experience the Mosuo culture when you come to Lugu Lake! Hotel Indigo has prepared a series of wonderful cultural experience activities for us. I watched the folk song and dance performances. The passionate drum beats and cheerful dance steps made me feel the passion and vitality of the Mosuo people. I also tried making folk handicrafts. Although my skills were clumsy, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and joy! 🎨 - 🛌 The hotel rooms must be mentioned. It is spacious and bright, with elegant decoration. Looking out of the window, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Lugu Lake. Lying on the soft big bed, listening to the gentle sound of water outside the window, I felt all my fatigue disappear. 🛌 - Hotel Indigo Lugu Lake is not just a place to stay, it is more like a haven for relaxation and purification of the soul. If you also plan to travel to Lugu Lake, you might as well choose this place. I believe you will fall in love with this unique Mosuo style like me.

This issue shares three boutique Indigo hotels, which form the most beautiful travel route, Lijiang, Shangri-La, and Lugu Lake. Just hearing these three place names, you can already imagine how fun it is. On the first day, you arrive in Lijiang, you can choose Lijiang Ancient Town Indigo Hotel, which is very convenient for eating, drinking, and playing around. The characteristic of this Indigo hotel is that the guest room facilities are very good, the service is very good, and the hotel is like a garden, and you are the owner of the garden. The guest room facilities are well maintained, and you can't tell that it is an Indigo hotel that has been open for many years. In terms of guest room comfort, they have been optimizing and upgrading, from free and rich minibar, providing guests with facial masks, makeup remover wipes, Dyson hair dryers, humidifiers, including the room Bluetooth speakers are also very popular Marshall, each guest room provides guests with canvas bags, which are convenient for guests, can be carried in the hotel, and can also be taken home, which is very practical. The hotel's breakfast has also been upgraded, the quality has been upgraded, and the dishes on the menu are made to order. The scenery here is very beautiful, there is Lashi Lake Scenic Area, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance. Shangri-La Moonlight City Indigo Hotel occupies the best C position in the ancient city of Shangri-La and is one of the best hotels in the ancient city of Shangri-La. The hotel lobby faces the Dukezong Ancient City, with a very good view, within walking distance to the ancient city and surrounding attractions, from Lijiang to Shangri-La, whether it is high-speed rail or expressway, it is very fast, and the transportation is very convenient. This is also an Indigo hotel with a very good experience for IHG members. Like Lijiang Indigo Hotel, it pays attention to guest experience. Most of the rooms have very good views and can see the appearance of the ancient city. The room is very comfortable, and the welcome gift for diamond card is also very thoughtful, and the ice minibar is also free. The guest rooms are very exquisite and luxurious. The suite is equipped with Ferragamo toiletries, Dyson hair dryer, humidifier, and a canvas bag is also prepared for guests in the room, with the Moonlight City Indigo logo canvas bag, which can be taken home after check-out, very practical. At night, Dukezong Ancient City exudes the charm of the plateau. The corner of the ancient city and Songzanlin Temple are very charming. Lugu Lake Indigo Hotel is the largest of these three Indigo hotels, and it is also the only international luxury boutique hotel in Lugu Lake Scenic Area. This Indigo is located between Lijiang and Shangri-La. It takes 3.5 hours to get to Lugu Lake from Lijiang, but the scenery of Lugu Lake is also worth seeing, not inferior to Dali Erhai Lake. The hotel is located at the foot of Gemu Goddess Mountain, a few kilometers away from Lugu Lake. Of course, the hotel arranges free shuttle buses to take guests to the core scenic spots of Lugu Lake. With the theme of Mosuo culture and local girls' flower houses, the rooms are very beautiful, especially highlighting the local culture. The most beautiful thing about this room is the embroidery on the wall at the head of the bed, which integrates the local culture into every corner of the room. The comfort is very good, the bedding is soft and comfortable, providing guests with facial masks, makeup remover wipes, steam eye masks, Dyson hair dryers, humidifiers, and rich and free minibar in the room. These three Indigo guest rooms have a common feature, there is a set of exquisite tea sets in the room, with tea. These three Indigo hotels have one thing in common, good service, and generous to IHG members. The beauty of Lugu Lake can only be known by seeing it in person.

The Land of Daughters at the Foot of Gemu Goddess Mountain, Lugu Lake Indigo Hotel 🏨The hotel is built in the newly planned Daughter's Town, a flat dam with lush water and grass. To get to the Daluoshui Village by the lake, you need to cross a small mountain, which takes about 20 minutes by car. Unfortunately, it is not easy to get a taxi in and out, so you have to contact the hotel for help. So if you plan to come here, it is more recommended to drive or charter a car. 🙆But according to local drivers, the overall protection plan of Lugu Lake will follow Dali Erhai Lake, and no more homestays will be allowed to be built by the lake, and those built before will also be withdrawn. In the future, tourists will be arranged in this newly built town. So the inconvenience in front of us is only a temporary phenomenon, and maybe it won't take long for this place to become a paradise-like mountain resort. 🥰After complaining, there is endless praise and good words. In short, in my opinion, all aspects of this place, except for the inconvenience of transportation, are the ceiling of resort hotels. It is also the hotel I have stayed in for the past six months, and I have the most desire to share it, and I even took photos from morning to night until my hands were sore. The hotel is backed by Gemu Goddess Mountain, which is a vibrant alpine botanical garden with exotic flowers and plants, even in late autumn. Several low-rise buildings are scattered along the lake and back to the mountain, with green mountains in front of the windows and behind the houses. People walk by the water, and the scenery changes like a painting. There are ferries coming and going from time to time. 🏘The overall architectural style is inspired by the local traditional dwellings, and the public area continues the style of the Indigo brand, which is prominent in the local style and unique. The mirror water feature in front of the reception lobby blends the sky into the water, like a dream. At the end of the corridor, there is a restaurant with a high appearance, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, with affordable prices and excellent products. The hardware standard of the suite is seriously over-standard, and the bathroom with electric control frosted glass is advanced at a glance. The self-heating floor is more meaningful in this climate than the heated toilet seat. The detailed configuration also has a feeling of doing its best, even a small coaster or tissue box is full of ingenuity. Can you imagine using a Dyson humidifier? The turndown service also thoughtfully gives away several masks and moisturizing sprays. 🥳The service is excellent, and I received a phone call before I checked in, and I kept my professionalism from beginning to end. Especially the guest service manager Kiko, who seems to have eighteen martial arts, can solve any problem. Make the whole stay like a health vacation, enjoying every second.

Indigo Hotel always adheres to the brand gene of "localized design". Every time it arrives in a city, it will deeply explore the local customs and cultural essence, and create a neighborhood space with local characteristics. 🏔In Yunnan Lugu Lake, Indigo draws on the unique Mosuo culture, takes the central landscape wetland as the core, and carefully creates the layout of houses, courtyards and gardens, which is simple, elegant and full of vitality. 🔺The interior design of the hotel is designed by the Thai P49 design team, which captures the gorgeous colors and patterns of Mosuo costumes, refines the main colors of red, blue and purple, and echoes the wall panels, flower windows and round wood walls of Mosuo dwellings, using a new design language to interpret Mosuo residential culture, which not only shows the simple and natural beauty, but also exudes a strong national charm. 🛋Zhan Cheng Furniture provides the overall solution of movable furniture for "Lugu Lake Indigo Hotel", relying on exquisite craftsmanship, high standards and high quality to create furniture works of art with both modern aesthetics and strong national style, creating a unique and extraordinary experience for every guest.

After waiting for so many years, Lugu Lake finally welcomed its first star-rated hotel! Hotel Indigo, a subsidiary of InterContinental! A quality choice that all luxury hotel lovers will appreciate! If you come to Lugu Lake for a vacation, you really need to stay there for a few days! Although the hotel is not located directly by Lugu Lake, it is located at the foot of Goddess Mountain, which is a quiet place in the bustling city. Besides, the way to visit Lugu Lake is to drive around the lake and check in, so you don’t have to stay directly by the lake. The only place that has accommodation within three meters of the lake is "Daluoshui Village", but that village was developed early and there are no high-end hotels in the true sense. Therefore, Indigo is definitely the quality choice, the only choice. The holiday experience is full😌The entire hotel park is very large, the landscape is particularly good, you can also see the Goddess Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, and when the weather is good, you can also see the Sunshine Golden Mountain⛰️ The guest room facilities are obviously in full compliance with the standards of a five-star hotel. They are equipped with complete oxygen and heating facilities, a mini bar for free on the first night, and they also have a hanging iron, a small refrigerator, and a Bluetooth speaker.

You can eat both Mosuo local food and Western food. Fresh fruit and milk are available in unlimited quantities, so you don’t have to go to the expensive fruit shop in the scenic area to buy them. The main dishes in the neighborhood restaurant are very good, the hygiene is guaranteed, the dishes are beautiful, and they are also very delicious 😍Guaranteed by foodies‼ ️ The hotel has electric car charging stations, so you can drive with confidence💕 It takes only 10 minutes to drive from the hotel to the lake ring road🚘 If you come to Lugu Lake for a tour, you really need to reserve a few more days.
