Lakeview Golf Hotel Kunming

The lakeview hotel is located right by the Dian Chi lake. It’s in an excellent location for day trips to the dragon gate grotto (10 min bij car) and to the Shilin stone forest (a little over one hour by car). The hotel is a smaller luxury hotel, with excellent service, from checkin to the business center and concierge, everyone is very friendly and helpful. The manager speaks English, other staff probably not. The restaurant is very good, accommodates all kinds of wishes, from no MSG to low salt, and has a wide selection of dishes. They open till 11, which is great for a late arrival. Breakfast is very extensive, with Chinese and Western options, fruits, eggs, vegetables, and meats. We had room 222, which is very spacious, facing the golf course, which is quiet. The bed is comfortable, and there is free water, coffee, tea and fruits in the room. All in all this is a great option for travellers that want to do sightseeing in and around Kunming (even more if you’re a golfer, which we aren’t).
