The house
MarriottTerraced sandstone lodge
Seven stone villas step down the forested mountainside around an 800-year-old Phoebe zhennan tree and reflecting pool.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Local red sandstone, slate walls, and grey roof tiles terraced across forested slopes.
Notable
Private mountain spring soaking pools in suites, accompanied by sound bowl healing.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trails lead directly into the Mount Emei forest, with the historic Qingyin Pavilion a short walk down the valley.
The rooms
Suites have private open-air courtyards with spring soaking pools carved from local red sandstone.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The seasonal outdoor pool is lined with green granite and washed stone, opening straight out toward the bamboo forest.
The baths and studio
Stone soaking pools sit tucked into the garden foliage, and the mountain-facing studio holds yoga mats and singing bowls.
Youchuan Restaurant
The dining hall sits under exposed cedar rafters, serving seasonal Sichuan dishes made with wild mountain mushrooms.
At the table
Backlit shelves line the dark stone wine cellar, and the lounge pours high-mountain tea overlooking the forest.
How it began
The resort was rebuilt from seven abandoned farmhouses, using quarried mountain slate and traditional grey clay roof tiles.

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.
