Amandayan

An AMAN hotel. Book this hotel direct through Rialto at the VIP rate for benefits that can include priority room upgrades, hotel credits, and more.

Lijiang's Old Town has long been home to skilled artisans, and Amandayan makes ample use of their works to enhance the resort's soothing aesthetics. Nakhi embroidery pieces and intricate wood carvings adorn the 35 simple and graceful suites, placed around peaceful courtyards and built in the classic, high-pitched-roof style with Yunnan pine and other locally sourced materials. Local ingredients are also key to culinary offerings and to the alternative therapies at the Spa. Set beneath snowcapped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Amandayan makes an ideal base for exploring this spellbinding region.

About Amandayan

Insider tip

Linger over traditional tea in the hotel's Tea House, which looks out across Lijiang's Old Town. Choose Western or Chinese service; the latter includes dim sum.

In the hotel’s own words

Arranged around calm courtyards, Amandayan’s dwellings are imbued with the clean lines and the architectural aesthetic of the indigenous Nakhi people using locally sourced materials, including Yunnan pine and elm from Dong Bei.
