Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The indoor ski slopes of Xiangjiang Happy City sit right outside, bordered by Dawang Mountain and the Xiang River.
The rooms
French windows look out across the surrounding lakes and rivers. Neutral palettes keep the bedrooms quiet and uncluttered.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The fifth-floor lap pool is heated under a sculpted skylight, and two outdoor swimming pools sit just outside.
At the table
On the twenty-fifth floor, Peak serves evening cocktails beside high-rise windows looking out across the resort grounds.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.
