STYLISH HOTEL
Inside, your private pavilion has a contemporary twist. Outside, it is part of the 260 year old courtyard mansion of a former silk merchant.
The unique setting of the fortified citadel of Pingyao – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is the perfect way to come face-to-face with the ancient Chinese world of dragons and pagodas, emperors and fabulously wealthy silk merchants.
You’ll also find the modern world has plenty to offer. Quaint alleyways crammed with fascinating shops, tempting restaurants and Jing’s Residence – a boutique hotel with stylish, individual pavilions gathered around traditional courtyards. Expect bamboo landscaping, tranquil water features, white stonework and brick-paved walkways linking courtyard to courtyard. And superb restaurant to cosy library and welcoming bar.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
