Shangri-La Hotel Lhasa

The Shangri-La Hotel Lhasa, situated in the heart of Tibet’s capital, combines traditional Tibetan architecture with contemporary luxury. Guests can experience exquisite accommodations, Himalayan-inspired cuisine, and holistic spa treatments. With its serene location near iconic landmarks like the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, the Shangri-La Hotel Lhasa offers a tranquil sanctuary amidst Lhasa’s spiritual and cultural richness. I was very impressed with this hotel which ended up being the best hotel I stayed in Tibet by far.

My arrival experience: Warm welcome before being escorted to the room.

What I liked the most: The beautiful, unique design. It is an authentic and special hotel experience.

What about the food: Very good breakfast buffet with high-quality imported items.

What about the service: It is very good, but some of the local staff obviously need more training to meet Shangri-La’s standards. The service was much better than at the two other luxury hotels in Lhasa, mainly because they have hired staff from other Shangri-La hotels for key positions in the hotel.

What about the rooms: Beautiful, uniquely designed rooms, unlike any other Shangri-La hotel.

Number of rooms: 289.

Type of property: City hotel.

Location: Lhasa, Tibet.

Facilities: Spa, gym, pool and a unique oxygen lounge which I used often during my stay.

Complimentary internet: Yes, and fast.

My overall impression: Great experience.

This is by far the best hotel in Lhasa. The other two luxury hotels I stayed in were very disappointing.
