Deqin Meri Poodom

Didn’t expect this hotel to be so luxurious. The room looks abit small in pictures but in real life the room is HUGE. The service is also very good and we felt welcomed when we arrived after a long journey. The breakfast buffet is great as well. Its so far the best breakfast I had throughout my trip in Shangri-la. There’s steak, rice noodles DIY counter, and other tasty varieties. Worth coming back here again!

Super love the mountain view, spectacular view. Breakfast with various choices and allowed to enjoy various local dish at once. 日照金山

Crazily luxurious and comfortable hotel with the best snow mountains views, only downside is the transport there. Breakfast is yummy but there’s very limited food choices there.

Hotel interior, amenities & services are all perfect. Staffs are all very helpful as well. Just the food need to be improve as they served the same menu for breakfast, tea time, lunch & dinner. Which the food I paid for dinner is same as the breakfast buffet one. Hopefully they can improve this. Last but not least, I love they served steak for breakfast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic view. Superb experience

The room is beautifully designed with advanced built in technology such as diffused oxygen supply and floor heating, with a great direct view to the snowy mountains. There are many home stays nearby that offers the same Mountain View. We paid a premium to stay here, not only for the Mountain View, but also for the supposed services and daily activities that the hotel advertised on social media. Unfortunately the service level is almost non existent, the breakfast area is easily overpacked. The staffs even asked me to share a four people table with a couple during breakfast. I am not paying USD500 per night so I can share a dining table with strangers with no privacy. We joined the sound healing experience which was held at 9pm (on the contrary to most other sound healing experiences I had, which is usually in the morning). The sound healing experience was held in the meditation room, which is located right above the Bar. Naturally, during the sound healing experience I heard mostly loud speakers playing APT and other loud music, with some light bowl singing sound. The dinner was the worst I have had during my 9 days trip in Yunnan. The afternoon tea on level 5 (Bar area) was strangely arranged with all guests cramped next to each other and hunched over the low table where snacks are placed. The hotel claims to have the top hotel room design and provides top end appliances in all the rooms, including HERMES toiletries, a B&O speaker, and Dyson hairdryer. The staffs introduced the room with great enthusiasm and pride on the small design details. Although, after 2nights in the hotel, I left feeling the hotel is nothing but an empty shell with no soul. I will not come back to this hotel again
