Floral Hotel·View Frame Garden Hotel (Dali Ancient City)

This inn is located at March Street in Dali Ancient City, within walking distance of the bustling Foreigner Street. It's a standalone Bai ethnic-style residence with a spacious garden and an underground parking lot. The three-story main building offers views of the nearby Cangshan Mountains and distant Erhai Lake. Each guest room, adorned with numerous windows, captures mountain, street and lake vistas—hence the name "Viewfinder". The rooms boast a sleek, stylish design with artistic flair. The inn is run by a "versatile art enthusiast"—the owner, from an artistic background, excels at crafting lively tile cats, creating pottery with artisanal warmth, and painting vivid scenes on canvas. Step inside, and you'll enter an artistic haven: his paintings adorn the walls, handcrafted pottery decorates corners, and even tile cats serve as unique ornaments, each detail reflecting the creator's ingenuity. The lush garden is a delight, with vines climbing fences and sunlight filtering through leaves onto stone paths. Sip tea, admire artworks, and chat with the owner about art here—time slows down in this atmosphere. Co-managed by a painter and a ceramist.
