We (family with 2 children) spent fantastic 3 nights at the hotel. As soon as you step through the entrance you enter a different world and leave the turbulent old town of Lijiang behind you. The hotel is very centrally located so that either new or old town are in close reach. The hotel is located on top of the... More

We were attracted to this hotel by the good reviews. It is a comfortable hotel with good views and nicely set out with Chinese antiques. We found the staff friendly but not very useful in terms of organizing activities in the area. They were unable to recommend guides to explore the area and their advice on local attractions wasn't great.... More

Our 2 night stay at Zen Garden Hotel was perfect. The room was comfortable, and being December, the inclusion of a gas lamp heater in the room was appreciated. The room itself was decorated with wonderful Chinese antiques and had a balcony view over the old town of Lijiang. Service was also excellent. The staff speak English and are very... More

Zen Garden Hotel is aptly named, a tranquil haven in the lofty position of Lion Hill overlooking the rooftops of Lijiang and the mountains in the distance. There are gardens and water features meandering through small courtyards and the public spaces are crammed with antiques, chinese porcelain and furnishings. Our room was decorated with authentic Chinese pieces and furniture with... More

We spent 4 nights at the Zen Hotel (Lyon Hill) It was absolutely gorgeous, the rooms were very confortable and modern, the staff very friendly. We enjoyed having breakfast while listening to some very relaxing and traditional music. We definitely recommend this place. More

Zen Garden Hotel Lion Hill is one of the nicest places we have been on our tour in China. We loved that beautiful decorated Chinese Boutique Hotel on the top of the Old Town of Lijiang. From here we have had beautiful views over the roofs of the Old Town with its black tiles illuminated by the sunshine and clouds.... More

My girlfriend and I loved to stay at Zen Garden Hotel very much. It is a high class and very authentic Chinese Boutique Hotel decorated with beautiful Chinese antiques. The rooms are nicely decorated, comfortable and well equipped including flat screen TV and W-Lan and hairdryer. The owner likes to play traditional Chinese music and burning incense. We liked it...

The Zen Garden Lion Yard hotel in Lijiang is by far the best inn/hotel that we have stayed in, in our many trips throughout China in the last 15 years. surpassing any 5 star hotel in charm and intimacy. Stepping into the peaceful open courtyard of stone and water, one immediately feels the sense of serenity and of being at... More
