What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 473 rooms and suites are arranged for Gan River views, the city's defining natural feature; Zi Yu Xuan is the address for Cantonese and local Jiangxi cooking, while Café Hong does the international buffet.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Qiushui Square sits five minutes away on foot, and the ancient Tengwang Pavilion rises across the river.
The rooms
Windows look directly across the Gan River, with upper floors taking in the water and the city skyline.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
The heated indoor lap pool sits beneath a sculpted wave ceiling, joined by a whirlpool bath, sauna, and steam room.
At the table
Zi Yu Xuan seats guests beneath tiered drum chandeliers, and Café Hong prepares handmade noodles across five theatre kitchens.

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.
