Mandala Hotel

Sichuan


Popular with Chinese tour groups, this is the fanciest hotel in town. There are attractive Tibetan murals on the walls and unusual touches include complimentary condoms and bottles of oxygen (the latter perhaps needed after using the former?). There's a sauna and a restaurant.

It's just out on the edge of town close to the Golden Temple.
