It’s no surprise that China’s top hotels have perfected the art of extravagance. These hotels go a step further, pairing luxury with creative passion and a distinctly local point of view.<\/em><\/h4>\n

As you might expect, China has more than a handful of awe-inspiring hotels. Covid was certainly a speed bump, but prior to the pandemic, the boom in Chinese business (and population) had been quite kind to the country\u2019s hospitality industry, ushering in a corresponding boom in big, beautiful, boastful hotels. <\/p>\n

Extravagance isn’t without its risks, of course. When money can’t buy good taste, it spends harder on the bad. And luxury can lead to a formality that might make it easier to provide exceptional service, but tougher to produce an uncommon, unconventional experience. In narrowing down the options for this list, we wanted hotels that excelled at both: the competence and<\/em> the creativity. <\/p>\n

Most importantly, we wanted authentic expressions of emotion \u2014 the key to any great piece of architecture. That means no nondescript glass towers, and no places that could exist practically anywhere else. These hotels are Chinese through and through, with insightful designs that communicate a unique perspective on life in this complex country.<\/p>\n

DongFengYun Hotel Mi\u2019Le<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mile, China<\/h5>\n

\"DongFengYun<\/a><\/p>\n

It takes a truly unusual hotel design to surprise us these days, but DongFengYun Hotel Mi\u2019Le – MGallery is nothing if not unusual. It\u2019s just one part of the larger Dong Feng Yun Art Village mixed-use arts and culture complex, designed by the sculptor Luo Xu in a style that feels ancient and futuristic at the same time \u2014 its curving forms lend it an organic quality, and its red brick construction, apparently, contains no steel bars or even nails.<\/p>\n

Shangrila, China<\/h5>\n

\"Banyan<\/a><\/p>\n

Ten thousand feet up in the mountains of China\u2019s southwestern Yunnan province, Banyan Tree Ringha is a bit of a departure for the Singapore-based hotel company. Though the coastal outposts of the franchise share a Balinese style, the Ringha version leaves that behind in favor of a Tibetan lodge style \u2014 this corner of Yunnan is largely Tibetan, ethnically and culturally. Despite the ruggedness of the locale, no comfort is spared.<\/p>\n

\"Six<\/a><\/p>\n

The Six Senses ethos is all about responsible luxury, so Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain was built with an eye towards traditional Chinese architecture and landscaping. The resort is set on a piece of land that looks like a watercolor painting, strategically located near two major cultural attractions: the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Mount Qing Cheng, the birthplace of Taoism.<\/p>\n

Set in the so-called \u201cVenice of the East,\u201d Alila Wuzhen makes liberal use of its own waterways and reflecting pools, which organize its ultra-minimal all-white buildings into a village-like layout. The 125 units are lavishly outfitted and unusually crisp and stylish; in typical Alila style they\u2019re serviced by an immersive and extravagant Spa Alila, whose indoor pool is nothing short of spectacular.<\/p>\n

\"Wuyuan<\/a><\/p>\n

Long before electric light, builders used narrow courtyards or lightwells to bring daylight into interior spaces; that\u2019s the case with this 300-year-old Huizhou-style mansion, rehabilitated and transformed into a luxury boutique hotel known as Wuyuan Skywells. The impressive restoration contrasts weathered old masonry with as-new traditional woodwork and a generous infusion of modern furniture and interior design.<\/p>\n

Yangshuo Sugar House Hotel is a stunning blend of the historical and the ultra-modern. Here, Beijing-based Vector Architects have transformed a disused sugar mill \u2014 which just happens to be set in an extraordinarily dramatic riverside landscape \u2014 into an inspired piece of contemporary post-industrial architecture, and expanded it into a fantastically inventive luxury resort.<\/p>\n

Privacy, discretion, understatement, and above all absolute tastefulness in every conceivable detail: this is the stuff an Aman hotel is made of. At their Hangzhou outpost, set amidst the tea fields and bamboo groves on the outskirts of town, those values translate into forty luxurious courtyard dwellings, designed in the distinctive style of traditional Chinese courtyard homes.<\/p>\n

What do you do when you\u2019ve got a parcel of land just outside of Shanghai, and, 700 kilometers away, a collection of historic homes, dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, that are about to be subsumed by a dam project? If you\u2019re entrepreneur Ma Dadong, you spare no expense in rescuing the homes, moving them \u2014 brick by brick, stone by stone \u2014 to the site of your newest luxury resort: Amanyangyun.<\/p>\n

Amandayan overlooks the impossibly ancient Old Town of Lijiang, a rich lattice of irreplaceable artifacts and architecture with a whimsical penchant for bridges and cobblestone streets. The snow-mantled Jade Dragon Snow Mountain gets highest billing here, in every sense \u2014 its lordly presence elevates the views from the hotel’s all-suite accommodations, which also feature flawless interiors done in the time-tested Nakhi tradition. <\/p>\n

This Banyan Tree is set in a vast and misty wetlands preserve just outside of Hangzhou. While the city itself has seen a profusion of upscale development in recent decades, the Banyan Tree evokes an older Hangzhou. Its seventy-two ivory-walled villas form a sort of self-contained village along the canals and ponds of the property, with elaborately carved bridges and quiet courtyards punctuating the spaces in between.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing nondescript about this glass tower. Ordinarily we\u2019d say \u201cwonderland\u201d is a stretch, but for InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland it might be an understatement. Built into the rock walls of a flooded quarry, this luxury hotel is unlike any other on earth. The ambition on display, as well as the extraordinary feats of engineering required to create it, make Wonderland possibly the most Chinese hotel on this list.<\/p>\n

The rugged peaks of China\u2019s inland Yunnan province are the backdrop for the Sunyata Hotel Meili, a luxury boutique hotel built from an existing Tibetan residence in the city of Shangri-La, some 11,000 feet above sea level. It\u2019s something of a patchwork, by design, inspired by the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi, embracing the beauty of imperfection in finishes and surfaces, even as the hotel as a whole exhibits a remarkable unity of function and form. <\/p>\n

The picturesque and deeply historic old town of Dali is the unlikely setting for Sunyata Hotel, a contemporary tour de force by Zhaoyang Architects, comprising some 14 rooms in an ingeniously laid-out site that seems to conjure an entire village from two houses\u2019 worth of land. Surrounded by residences, it\u2019s an entirely inward-looking experience, with strategically placed windows opening onto carefully designed courtyards.<\/p>\n
