Songtsam Lvgu Lodge, Shangri-La

Songtsam Lvgu Lodge was the first hotel established by Songtsam. After 24 years, its original intention as a home away from home remains unchanged, and it is as warm as ever. It holds countless memories of travelers‘ Shangri-La and serves as a museum that tells the story of Yunnan culture. The various old artifacts were carefully collected over the years by the founder, Mr. Baima Dorji, and they, along with the hotel, bear witness to the preservation and gift of time.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Shangri-La, the lodge is a beautiful four-storey stone building housed in a traditional Tibetan dwelling within a self-sufficient farming village, where founder Pema Dorjee spent his childhood. Rooms excel in creating a true feeling of home, all of which are decorated in a Tibetan style and balanced with modern comforts. The inside of the property exhibits an impressive collection of hand-picked antique furniture, Tibetan Thangkas, and handicrafts, as well as traditional intricately woven carpets featured throughout the lodge.

The small village of Xiaojiezi, where the Lvgu Lodge is located, still retains the traditional and rustic appearance of a Yunnan village. Every villager living there interprets the vivid details of Yunnan life through their own perspectives and experiences. They will greet you with warm smiles along the country paths and offer you the warm and simple hospitality.

Shangri-La has long been cherished as a paradise on earth, with its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural tapestry, and profound spirituality. Embark on your journey and experience it all at Songtsam’s Lvgu Lodge, where your perfect escape awaits!
