Lijiang Fine Art · Ancient Town Panorama Art Resort Hotel (Old Town Waterwheel Store of Lijiang)

The location of the hotel was very strategic, just a few steps away from the entrance to the ancient town. It also had easy access to e-hailing services (Didi) and was very close to the large water wheel, which is a landmark of Lijiang Ancient Town. The hotel was peaceful, and the staff were friendly and polite. I was told by the staff that they recently rebranded/acquired by Wanda group, a China local hotel brand. Which is good to hear. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. If we ever return to Lijiang, we will definitely book this hotel again. The only feedback I have is the hotel lobby should play some background music music :)

Location was great with the hotel being next to the entrance to the old town, which makes travelling easy as DiDi can stop at the hotel entrance (cars can’t enter the old town). Service was good with friendly & helpful staff and the free laundry service is perfect for long stays! The only downside is the hotel name. It’s listed as Fine Art on Trip.com, but the hotel calls itself FINAI and is for some reason listed as Pushe or Lijiang Trend hotel on DiDi and Baidu/ Apple Maps, which made initial locating of the hotel slightly challenging.

The hotel was nice, strategic location (easy to access with luggage compare to other hotels / stay inside the lijiang old town which might have many stairs inside), they have laundry room and was reliable! I can say for new hotel, they have provided us with 10/10 service rating. the amenities on the room was enough, but pretty sure bigger pump of shampoo and shower gel might be better for the future! They still have work ongoing the hotel, however it doesn’t bother us staying there. It’s getting more and more aesthetic. Will be staying there for sure when I get back to Lijiang! Even though never got the opportunity to have breakfast on the hotel, however Ms Jenny and the hotel’s chef have arranged and packed us breakfast that was delicious. Ms Jenny and other staffs there were very helpful, fast response!
