What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Seventeen rooms in a forest setting, the architecture dark timber and raw concrete with a wabi-sabi aesthetic that suits the surroundings.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Manjuelong's osmanthus groves are a short walk away, and Hupao Spring lies just down the hillside road.
The rooms
Wood latticework filters morning light across the bedrooms, and select rooms have deep stone tubs overlooking the trees.
At the table
Yuelan serves regional Jiangnan dishes beneath exposed timber rafters, and a sideboard keeps fresh tea and coffee ready all day.
How it began
The property draws its name from a Chinese phrase about settling into a peaceful corner, opening in autumn 2022.
