Crowne Plaza Kunming Ancient Dian Town
Staying at Crowne Plaza Kunming Ancient Dian Town during New Year's Eve was hands down the best vacation experience of the year. The guest relations team, especially Ella Jiang Wenjuan, went above and beyond—she called after booking to confirm our needs, greeted us warmly upon arrival, and made the entire process smooth and personal. It’s clear why IHG’s ‘IHG Journey’ service is so highly rated. The room was spacious and bright, with a twin-bed layout and a huge panoramic balcony. Just stepping outside, we were greeted by views of the amusement park’s Ferris wheel and the shimmering surface of Dianchi Lake—our kids couldn’t stop cheering at the sight of the roller coaster. The bathroom featured a luxurious round tub and dual vanity sinks—perfect for family use. Welcome fruits and child-specific toiletries were already waiting, showing how thoughtfully everything was planned. Dinner at the hotel’s restaurant offered a fantastic blend of local Yunnan flavors and international dishes—so many options it was hard to choose! Staff were attentive, clearing plates promptly and even offering to reheat food when needed. There was also a fun raffle during dinner that added a festive touch. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to the amusement park. After enjoying the dazzling fireworks show, we took the hotel’s free shuttle back in minutes—safe, convenient, and stress-free. Waking up early to watch the sunrise over Dianchi Lake was magical, followed by a delicious breakfast featuring authentic Yunnan rice noodles. Afterwards, we split up: the kids played at the kids’ club while adults relaxed by the indoor pool. From top-tier facilities to thoughtful touches and unforgettable holiday vibes, this hotel delivered on every level. I’m already planning next year’s visit. If you’re looking for a high-quality, family-friendly getaway with heart, this one’s a must-book.
