What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The former residence of local scholar Hua Tai Shi, tucked into Dangkou Ancient Town's canal network of stone moon bridges and courtyard houses dating back centuries, now houses this 178-room hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Preserved canals, arched stone bridges, and traditional whitewashed water town alleys sit directly outside the entrance.
The rooms
Natural timber finishes, subtle calligraphy motifs, and quiet garden views frame spaces oriented along the traditional north-south axis.
The pool, spa and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool rests beneath slatted timber ceilings, alongside treatment rooms and a fitness centre.
At the table
Tree Canopy cooks from an open kitchen, and Chrysanthemum serves regional Huaiyang cuisine in private dining rooms.
How it began
Built around the former estate of Ming dynasty poet Hua Tai Shi, the compound preserves classical Jiangnan courtyard architecture.
