Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts is opening a new property in its spiritual home – the Chinese city of Shangri-La.
The new Hylandia by Shangri-La hotel will launch on 3 August 2015 in the area of Diqing, among the mountains of Yunnan province.
The hotel is designed to reflect its Tibetan surroundings, with pavilions, courtyards and gardens. The 166 rooms and suites are all decorated in a traditional style and provide free Wi-Fi, while F&B options include a lobby lounge, a tea lounge called the Aroma Room, a rooftop garden with a fire pit, barbecue area and telescope, plus the Hotspot restaurant which specialises in Yunnan and Sichuan dishes, and Ani’s Kitchen, a multi-cuisine restaurant.
There is also a library area called the Wisdom Room, the city’s only indoor pool, jacuzzis and function space, including a large ballroom.
“Travellers are searching for unique and individual experiences, for something beyond the ordinary,” said Shangri-La’s president & CEO, Greg Dogan. “Diqing is an incredible and special destination. We saw a natural opportunity to move beyond the traditional description of hospitality and create a guest experience at Hylandia that is truly immersive and genuine.”
Hylandia by Shangri-La becomes the company’s 92nd property and its 45th in mainland China.
