We chose this Hotel because of its excellent location. It is located in the heart of downtown Kunming surrounded by several major department stores, close proximity to busy shopping pedestrian streets with restaurants and shops and a short walk to “Jinma Bigi” historic site. Another big plus was that the Hotel provided complimentary airport pick up and drop off with... More

I stayed 1 night only in April 2012. The hotel is very nice, comfortable, clean rooms and really lovely staff. As I was reasonably late arriving I ate in the 28th floor restaurant and had the set menu. The food was really good (steak and the trimmings) and the restaurant staff, who have very little English, were an absolute delight... More

This hotel has been recommended by our client and did not disappoint in the last years. This time was my first time to stay there for private reason with my wife before continuing our trip to Lijiang. It is located in a pedestrian street and the many shops invite for shopping. Also some historic sites are next to it, as... More

We enjoyed the overal stay in this hotel. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and staff everywhere were all helpful. Location is super central with shops everywhere. Anyway, taxis were plentiful and I was able to get practically everywhere we wanted with taxi which did not cost too much. More

Well located in a good shopping area, and an impressive breakfast buffet. Western standard hotel, but felt a bit over priced at £75 (GBP) per night for a double room More

We have traveled extensively in Yunnan province and visited Kunming three times in the past four years and feel that we know the city fairly well. While a bit pricey by Yunnan standards, the New Era is worth the extra cost. It is a four star property centrally located just off a major attractive plaza with plenty of shops and... More

After three nights in Lijiang and one night in Dali, my mum and I arrived in Kunming by a shuttle flight from Dali. I had called ahead to book the Hotel's free airport transfer and true enough, Mr Chiu was holding an A4 size card (a tad small) bearing my name. Within 20 minutes, we have arrived at the Hotel...

First stay in a "chinese hotel". I had gone to the New Era Hotel directly from Shenzhen JW Marriott, and the contrast could not have been greater. The hotel was okay, but here is a listing of challenges: Room was small Beds were hard Workout facilities poor Lobby/bar area alright, but not great (the service is very good but location... More
