Dian Lake Steigenberger Kunming

this hotel is very clean and service is excellent, the staff , Fonda and Lydia both are very helpful. I will visit the hotel again next time. 👍👏👏

Second time staying here and it’s always a great place to come for a staycation for us. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the service is good. Lots of local restaurants around. Facilities are modern. Definitely a good choice. If you’re a visitor you might find the location a bit far out but with taxi services being so readily available I don’t find it to be a huge issue. It’s about 15 mins away by cab from down town.

Well, it’s a nice enough hotel inside a fabricated former Wanda extended strip mall. It’s not really close to anything —6-km to Xishan, Dian Lake, 9-10 km to city center. It’s main attraction appears to be an indoor skiing facility, which for anyone that actually skied before, is a 200-ft green circle that they classify as an “expert” run. They had some comic book/anime event going on so tons of people showed up for the weekend dressed up. Beyond the large strip mall and running/bike track, I’m not sure if it has much more to offer. Personally, I’d advise anyone coming to Kunming to stay either in the city center or go prime spot Dian Lake. This entire concept has a half baked, 3/4 completed feel to it. The hotel is dead & while the place looks modern, it is cheaply built, the gym was unattended (not even sure if it was actually open), and pool hasn’t been open since the Omicron pandemic began in earnest in China. They told me this is a place that Wanda wanted to build up but after running into financial difficulties, it basically got abandoned all but for this area & I suppose they’re trying to monetize it as best they can.
