I stayed at The Bivou in 2021 for the first time and came back years later — it’s still just as lovely. The hotel is well maintained, with genuine service and a warm, helpful staff (even the owner is around and helped with some questions)
It’s in a touristy area, but tucked away near a quiet river and park, which makes it feel peaceful. Their restaurant is excellent, and the vegetarian dumplings were delicious.
I also appreciated the thoughtful room gifts — I still use the lipstick and loved the scented body cream. I usually like trying new hotels, but this is one I’ll happily return to again.
MM20457****Wonderful place: beat combination of Chinese traditional building and modern decorations, luxurious,comfortable, enjoyable. Good service. My friends and I had a great stay there.
In addition, the location of the hotel is very close the 崇圣寺三塔 and the old town of Dai. This is located in 海西 (west side of Erhai)region, which is convenient to go to 龙龛码头. So you may see the sunrise.
The food in this hotel is quite good. The breakfast buffet has many good choices. I almost forgot to mention that I realized one of my visiting wishes in the hotel restaurant, I had 炒见手青 dish one night. Very delicious
If I visit Dali again,I believe this hotel would be my first choice.
