Luxury Hotels in Tibet

Oct 8, 2025 12:03 By Lewis

Tibet is located on the highest plateau in the world. The harsh geographical environment has kept this land relatively unspoiled, and as a result, it is less modernized compared to other regions in China. In particular, the infrastructure of the vast majority of hotels in Tibet is somewhat backward. However, the luxury standards of the 5-stars hotels are on a par with those in metropolises.

The hotels that I will introduce in the following article are predominantly luxury five-star hotels designed to blend comfort with cultural authenticity. Beyond providing exceptional comfort—including plush bedding and modern amenities—these hotels offer a range of entertainment activities, from cultural performances to interactive workshops on Tibetan art and cuisine. Most importantly, every room is equipped with the diffuse oxygen supply system to elevate your Tibet trip experience.

Luxury Hotels in Tibet

Luxury Hotels in Lhasa

Lhasa stands as Tibet’s political, economic, and cultural center—a seat mirrored in its world-class hospitality offerings. Shangri-La Hotel is a typical example in Lhasa. Nestled between Tibet’s winter palace—the iconic Potala Palace—and its summer retreat, Norbulingka, this luxury hotel is situated at the center of Lhasa. Its prime location ensures seamless access to cultural landmarks such as the Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street, all within walking distance or a short drive. Indoor swimming pool, Spa, Bar and all kinds of amenities enhance your luxury experience. Wake up to beautiful views of the majestic Potala Palace from your private balcony. Included in your booking is an exclusive Tibetan costume photography session.

Just by browsing the pictures of the Intercontinental Lhasa Paradise, you will be amazed by its unforgettable iconic pyramid-shaped structure. This luxury hotel is not just superficial, and its inner garden and rooms are also so impressive with exquisite and elegant Tibetan style. The chess and card room, library, and coffee shop will refresh you during your tiring journey.

Songtsam Lhasa Linka is located on the hillside to the southeast of the Potala Palace, and its traditional Lhasa style is striking. The interior is adorned with numerous exquisite Thangkas and tapestries, making you feel as if you've traveled back in time to ancient Lhasa. When you are enjoying afternoon tea here, there will be Tibetan artists performing, which will make you more immersed in Tibetan culture.

Every year, numerous domestic tourists and foreign tourists flock into the second largest city in Tibet, Shigatse.

In the hotel, you can see exquisite Tibetan artworks, and from the high-rise building, you can also enjoy the night view of the Tashilunpo Monastery.

Luxury Hotels in Dumxung

Although Fumin Kangma Hot Spring Hotel is a four-star hotel, it has the quality that is not inferior to a five-star hotel. As its name suggests, here you can enjoy a unique natural hot spring experience. This hotel is located on the vast grassland, with no other tall buildings blocking your view. The equestrian show, ethnic song and dance performances, and horseback riding experiences are all unique services offered by this hotel.

Tibet Tour from HK

May I know if holding Mainland Travel Permit for HK Residents. is it also need to get the visa permit to Tibet and what is the procedure if need to apply? Thank you

Answered by Tibet Vista

Dear Shek, Thank you for reaching out and we are here to help. For Hong Kong residents that want to travel to Tibet, a Tibet Travel permit is not required, as long as you have the HKSAR passport, as well as the Home Return Permit (HRP). Officially known as the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents, the HRP can be issued to Chinese nationals that are permanent residents of Hong Kong in order to enter mainland China. Cheers!

Is Kailash Mansarovar Trip open for Indian Passport Holder?

Is it open for Indian Passport Holder?

Answered by Tibet Vista

Dear Nayak, Thank you for reaching out! We're here to help. Well, for Indian passport holders who plan to visit Mt. Kailash, you have to book your Tibet tour with a licensed Nepali or Indian travel agency that is authorized by the Foreign Affairs Office of TAR or Pilgrim Center (also known as Tibet-India Pilgrim Reception Center) to get your Tibet Travel Permit and run your Tibet tour. If you are an Indian origin who lives outside of India and have another passport, let's say a US or Canadian passport, in this case, we can help you get the Tibet Travel Permit and other travel documents and arrange the Mt. Kailash tours for you.

The "Tibet Entry Permit" should be apply

I heard from my friend that says there is difference between the above mentioned are: "Individual Tibet Entry Permit" - Individual Entering Tibet is granted. "Group Tibet Entry Permit" - Anyone from the group is Absent, the whole group is deny entry. May I know which one is the correct facts?

Jun 15, 2024 11:12
Answered by Tibet Vista

Tibet Travel Permit, the required travel document for entering Tibet Autonomous Region, has no distinction between individual and group. . What your friends might have mentioned is the Group Visa, specifically required for entry into Tibet from Nepal. You'll have to apply for the Group Visa at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu, and you'll need at least four people in your group. You'll all have to enter and leave Tibet together. But if you're entering Tibet from mainland China, you don't need this group thing. Our travel consultant will contact you with more details and help you arrange your trip to Tibet.

Dear Kadam, We appreciate your message and are here to help. If you are an Indian national with a Singapore passport, you can sign up for our 15-day Kailash and Manasarova Small Group Tour that departs on Sept, 1st. Firstly, you need to go to the Chinese Embassy in Singapore and fill out the application form to apply for the Chinese Visa yourself.

Answered by Tibet Vista

Dear Nyendak, Thank you for reaching out! Well, if you have applied a China Visa, a great option is to email the image of your Chinese visa page to us and we can help you apply for Tibet Travel Permit on your behalf. So, you can fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa for Tibet visit. A recommended tour for you is 5 Days Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake Small Group Tour where you can visit the landmarks of Tibetan monasteries in Lhasa and explore the holy turquoise Yamdrok Lake on a short excursion. Another important thing to consider is that due to the high elevation and thin air in Tibet, do consult a doctor to decide if it is safe to bring the infant to Tibet for travel with you. Our expert travel consultants will discuss more with you and help you plan a perfect Tibet journey. Cheers!
