Pullman Lijiang Resort & Spa: modern and upscale in the forgotten kingdom

Pullman Lijiang Resort & Spa, which opened on April 1, 2011 in China's southwestern Yunnan Province, offers guests a modern and upscale experience in China’s “Forgotten Kingdom”. The new resort is part of Pullman Hotel and Resorts, an upscale five-star hotel brand under the Accor Group, specifically designed for modern era international travelers.

Pullman has joined forces with real estate developer Kunming Construction Company to deliver a truly comfortable, authentic Lijiang experience. The resort, which has 79 villas and 51 deluxe rooms, is Pullman's fourth resort in the country, following two in Sanya and one in Zhangjiajie. The resort also provides the perfect stop over for guests also visiting the famous Songtsam Retreat at Shangri-La – a member of the MGallery Collection.

Tranquil Resort Setting

The tranquil resort, boasting uninterrupted and stunning views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is located adjacent to Shuhe Ancient Town and just minutes away from downtown Lijiang and its Dayan Ancient Town, a World Heritage listed site.

Inspired by local Naxi ethnic minority architecture and with contemporary Chinese elements perfectly blended in its interior design, the low-rise, full-service resort, set amidst gardens featuring canals and a central lake, is a destination in itself.

Each villa at Pullman Lijiang Resort & Spa, occupying a space of between 106 and 232 square meters, offers private courtyard gardens ranging from 105 to 260 square meters with outdoor hot tubs available at some deluxe villas.

Exquisite and Creative Dining

Various dining options at the resort's five restaurants and bars are designed to pamper the most discerning palates. Xi Western Restaurant, where international buffet, semi-buffet as well as a la carte are available, offers a wide selection of cuisines using fresh local, regional and imported ingredients. At Zun Chinese Restaurant, Chow Chou cuisine and modern interpretations inspired by the local Naxi ethnic minority cuisine are served while other regional favorites can also be found. MIST Lobby Lounge and Bar is the right place for those who seek a casual and relaxing ambience, whilst for nature admirers, the 1919 Bar, offers spectacular views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The Tian Lu Library is set to be the first choice for culture lovers where they will get access to a selection of books and magazines over a cup of coffee or tea.

Co-Meeting and Events

Boasting five multi-functional meeting rooms and a 333-square-meter ballroom in local Naxi architectural style, the Pullman Lijiang Resort & Spa is a perfect place for conferences and events. In addition to state-of-the-art audio and visual facilities, complimentary WiFi access and "Chill Out" space for delegates, the resort, with a dedicated team of Co-Meeting and Event managers, is on hand to provide assistance to conference and event organisers by providing tailor-made innovative breaks as well as ideas and executions for customized themed events.
