4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Dali

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Dali is during March, April, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a budget-friendly getaway, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the region's key landmarks and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can explore the rich history and culture of Dali through activities such as horseback riding near scenic forests, enjoying hot springs, or taking a leisurely ferry ride. You might also consider rock climbing and yoga sessions that offer both adventure and relaxation, making it a great value for money experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Dali on Hotels.com, explore the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay in a Dali hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to find the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience but usually tends to come with higher costs. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you plan to visit. Additionally, exploring independent hotels a bit further out can provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
