Songtsam Retreat

Songtsam Linka

Shangri-La, China

The Songtsam Linka Shangri-La (formerly Songtsam Retreat) is a charming boutique retreat nestled within a Tibetan village close to the sacred Songzanlin Monastery. Surrounded by lush fields and mountains, away from downtown, it鈥檚 a haven of calm for guests. Guests stay in 72 rooms and suites scattered throughout a variety of hand-built stone structures spread over acres of hillside. The decor is a distinct Tibetan style with Tibetan rugs, handcrafted furniture and touches of modern luxury, and the service from friendly staff is warm and welcoming.

You鈥檒l also find restaurants serving Tibetan and international food, a bar, and a spa. Despite its hideaway location, the retreat is only a five-minute drive to Songzanlin Monastery, a 20-minute drive to the airport, and is an excellent base from which to explore the mountains, lakes and villages of Shangri-La.

OUR OPINION:

Our preferred hotel in Shangri-La, Songtsam Linka offers panoramic views as well as a convenient location that鈥檚 far from the bustle of town and just a short walk to Songzanlin Monastery.
