What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms look out onto private gardens and a natural lake; the Chinese restaurant Lu Hua Xuan specializes in Cantonese, Henan, and the city's own Kaifeng cuisine.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set inside the historic district, the grounds border ancient ramparts and sit moments from the Qingming riverside parklands.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens to tranquil gardens or lake views, paired with lantern-inspired lighting and marble soaking tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Draped daybeds and loungers border the heated indoor pool beneath a timber-slatted ceiling facing the gardens.
The gym
Cardio equipment and treadmills sit beside floor-to-ceiling windows filled with natural light from the grounds.
Lu Hua Chinese Restaurant
Light wood tables and wishbone chairs look out through full-height windows onto the central courtyard gardens.
At the table
Xi Bar serves cocktails under glowing pendant lights, joined by private dining salons and light bites in the lounge.
How it began
Opened in 2015 below the height of adjacent ancient city walls, the low-rise design pays homage to Northern Song imperial architecture.
