Lhasa trip?
Plan Your TripI've stayed in Lhasamany times over the years. Here are my recommendations for every budget.
Lhasa packs its history into every neighbourhood. The main areas to consider are Near Potala Palace and Near Barkhor Street / Jokhang Temple. Whether you prefer a modern hotel or a traditional courtyard guesthouse, the right location makes all the difference.
World-class luxury hotel with oxygen-enriched rooms (critical for altitude), incredible views of the Potala, and an exceptional spa.
Tibetan-style mid-range hotel with warm hospitality, comfortable rooms, and a central location near the Barkhor Circuit.
A popular backpacker guesthouse with a rooftop terrace offering direct views of the Potala Palace.
If Lhasa is booked up or you'd like to explore more, here are accommodation guides for nearby cities —
