“A Photojourney in Yunnan”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

This two-week trip to Yunnan Province, China, was a wonderful experience, photographically and culturally. Brian and Jeanee Linden, along with their staff, were such gracious hosts, meeting us in Kunming and escorting us to The Linden Centre, where we stayed for about a week before heading up to Shangri-La. The Centre has been beautifully restored, and I couldn't ask for... More

“Great hotel - great service - great people - great location”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

The name can fool you - named after the Linden family. But it is a great hotel designed from a large private residence at the edge of beautiful fields and a very short walk to the old town of Xizhou which is a wonderful and non-commercialized little village. The rooms are beautiful and modern. The staff, which includes a few... More

If you want to experience China outside the cities complete with an amazing staff, an outstanding historical landmark hotel, nestled in one of the most beautiful areas of Yunnan Province do not hesitate to stay with the Lindens. You will not regret it.

“Unique, appealing property”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

Just returned from 3 weeks in Yunnan, 4 nights of which were spent at the Linden Center. Beautiful location in the midst of green fields of garlic scapes and beans on the outskirts of (mercifully) non-commercialized Xizhou Town, mountain range to the west and lovely Erhai Lake to the east. Traditional Chinese 3-courtyard mansion built in the late forties. Beautiful... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such helpful comments. We are very fortunate to be based in one of the few surviving family mansions from China’s past, and out on the veranda you mention, we are now making local wine tasting a daily free activity for guests. Please note that all guestrooms have outside windows, and... More

The Linden's have fashioned an incredible experience in China. Everything about the place is so correct, and so comfortable. The staff are particularly welcoming and proud to share their experiences and love of China, and their enthusiasm for the way this former merchant's house has been so beautifully restored.
