What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Anantara, set against karst peaks near Qingyan Ancient Town south of Guiyang, brings 218 rooms, suites, and pool villas to a region better known for Miao and Dong minority villages than luxury resorts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone, surrounded by karst mountain gardens outside Guiyang.

The rooms
Rooms open onto balconies facing the karst peaks, with deep two-person terrazzo tubs and Chinese tea sets inside.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor lap pool sits beneath high timber beams, and private villas come with courtyard plunge pools.
The spa
Treatment suites open toward lush gardens, and therapies draw on tea-infused rituals and Guizhou bamboo massage.
At the table
Five vaulted private rooms host regional Guizhou banquets, and Siam serves authentic Thai cuisine.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
