Banyan Tree Hotels
The renowned Banyan Tree hotel group has recently opened two new properties in Yunnan - Lijiang, in the ‘Venice of the Orient’ as this historic town is known, and Ringha, a stunning retreat high in the mountains. Both are ideally situated for exploring this fascinating and undiscovered region of China.
Banyan Tree Lijiang
Situated close to Lijiang’s Old Town, with panoramic views of the sacred Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Banyan Tree Lijiang has brought a new standard of accommodation to the region. The resort offers guests a luxurious retreat ideally situated to explore the city and countryside.
The 55 villas, of varying sizes, are beautifully appointed with indigenous handicrafts, each with a private garden and some a private pool. Good .amenities include a Chinese banquet-style restaurant, a traditional tea house, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court and a Banyan Tree Spa.
Banyan Tree Ringha
Nestled in a remote Tibetan valley in western Yunnan, the Banyan Tree Ringha lies in a magnificent setting. Decorated in a style reflecting the local Tibetan culture, the hotel provides an extremely comfortable base from which to explore the wonderful sights of this fascinating region.
Housed in painstakingly rebuilt traditional farmhouses, the 20 lodges are beautifully furnished in ethnic style and feature cosy fireplaces and wooden balconies with valley or river views. Facilities include two warm and inviting restaurants, a tea house and an excellent Banyan Tree Spa.
