Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in China

Greater China

King’s Joy is definitive proof that vegetarian cuisine and haute cuisine are not mutually exclusive! This restaurant led by the creative, innovative talent of young chef Gary Yin, aided by his two sisters, Mia and Lillian, is in an historic quarter that is home to some of the country’s most important monuments, including the Forbidden City and the Lama Temple.
In a group of traditional buildings around a central patio, this serene, refined, and elegant ambiance is home to what is now one of China’s temples of fine dining, a status achieved in the space of a few years. Meals are served in a dining room bathed in natural light from the large glass roof or in charming spaces separated by openwork panels in wood and looking out onto a bamboo forest. An ideal setting in which to appreciate the chef’s inventiveness and dedication to working primarily with organically grown, in-season ingredients. Exploring the ethereal cuisine of King’s Joy is an incomparable experience.

Close to West Lake and the city’s main attractions, the hotel and villas are nestled amidst splendid gardens of trees and bamboo in Hangzhou. The atmosphere is peaceful with the elegant lines of the buildings reflecting in the ponds of water and the traditional decor of the spacious and bright rooms serving to please the eye. Your first delights are offered at the highly-rated restaurant Jiexianglou, which serves exquisite Chinese cuisine. But the best is yet to come. Building on the principles of Chinese medicine and aromatherapy, the spa offers exceptional treatments using flowers and plants.

Neighboring Tibet, the province of Sichuan is traversed by a mountain range older than the Himalayas. Its sharp peaks and mist-shrouded forests paint a picture of China far removed from the soaring skylines of Shanghai or Beijing: Su Shien Valley is found in a forested setting reminiscent of the ancient engravings of a thousand-year-old civilization. This cradle of Taoism makes the hotel an ideal refuge for a spiritual retreat and an initiation into ‘the way’ of ancient China. The lodge houses rooms and suites, each an invitation to Zen-like contemplation, with elegantly minimalistic décor–light wood, raw stone and fluid lines–in total harmony with the forest. Rooms also feature large bay windows, inviting you to meditate to the rhythm of the wind in the trees, and open onto interior courtyards, some with private traditional soaking tub. Explore the forest on long hikes before slipping into the warm waters of the onsen and relaxing with a traditional treatment to the sound of the songbo, a local musical instrument. The main restaurant nestled in the bamboo grove serves Sichuanese cuisine that follows the rhythm of the seasons, in perfect harmony with Taoist philosophy.

It has been more than a century since the first hot springs hotel opened in Taiwan, and it became a destination thanks to the healing properties of the water. Villa 32 builds on this tradition and enhances it further by drawing on the delights of nature that surround it. Located in Beitou, tucked away between impressive mountains in a geothermal valley, this spacious villa has only five rooms – each with its own hot springs tub. Ming-Hong Chiu has succeeded in crafting a delicate and relaxing atmosphere by artfully combining the surrounding natural elements: water, wood, trees and stone, in the midst of lush vegetation covered in mist from the hot springs.

The Restaurant

Blending into the surroundings, listening to the sounds of water, you are carried away by the life-enhancing hot spring. In the mountains, within one-hour travel from Taipei, this dream becomes a reality. Enjoy the views of forests and crystalline river water from the hotel and you may see how the nature expresses her beauty. The building is part of the mountain and inside, a blend of Taiwan aboriginal life style and autochthonous inspiration stands out. The private bathhouses allow guests to enjoy the spring water while gazing out over the peaceful river, and the aromatherapy treatments provide relaxation. The cuisine served in the two restaurants is up to the standards of any discerning gourmet.

Standing on the heights of Beijing, China, the Xitan Hotel welcomes guests to a stunning natural setting. Spread over two hectares of an ancient village built towards the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atypical architecture of this luxury hotel is inspired by its amazing surroundings. In harmony with the environment and encircled by water and mountains, its zen atmosphere is immediately captivating. Each of the 38 rooms and courtyards has its own concept, designed to combine Chinese tradition, modernism and a sense of purity. From every angle — from the living spaces and tea room to the gym — the Xitan Hotel enjoys magnificent views of the towering peaks and lush vegetation all around. There are few places in the world that so thoroughly invite contemplation and the freedom to let go. A visit to the hotel’s spa only confirms this as it opens the senses to the great beyond. Chef Jun Wang’s cuisine at the gourmet restaurant The House of Rong is both creative and rooted in the local terroir, making it the perfect complement to a stay at this restorative, other-worldly place.

Simply cross the threshold of Yihe Mansions and you will be taken back to the Republic of China’s past, a time when the country’s leaders built their residences in the shade of the maple trees on Yihe Road in Nanjing, the capital of ten dynasties.

Extremely spacious, they boast soft light and greenery throughout; the decor is an elegant blend of traditional artefacts and contemporary objects, with fine wood and precious fabrics.
