Top choice in Lijiang
There are only a handful of massive rooms, all built around a central courtyard filled with the sounds of classical music and burbling (artificial) brooks, at this very popular boutique inn in the heart of the old town. Bathrooms are modern and large, while each room comes with its own collection of antiques and wood furnishings.
Staff are helpful and there's a small common area with a library. It's essential to book ahead.
