1️⃣ Public Areas
I received a pre-arrival call and was assigned a butler. Upon arrival, there was a welcome gift, chilled towels, and Dendrobium tea. The hotel is inspired by stone elements, using volcanic rock to build walls that complement the surrounding natural environment. The extensive use of glass seamlessly integrates the hotel with the surrounding forest park.
2️⃣ Rooms
All rooms are detached villas, starting from 146 square meters. I stayed in a 168-square-meter grand single-bedroom hot spring garden art pool villa. Upon entering, there is a living room with a 24-hour butler service phone next to the L-shaped sofa. The response speed was very fast in the actual test. In-room spring water and a rich, complimentary minibar are standard. In addition to the guest bathroom, the living room also features a spa room with twin beds and a Nepalese singing bowl.
Between the bedroom and the living room is a garden. On the right are garden chairs arranged side by side, and on the left is a hot spring pool carved from a whole piece of granite, introducing local carbonated hot spring water. The best thing about this place is that you can call to have the water filled and make a reservation, and there is also complimentary milk rose bath available. In the evening, there is a blessing and medicinal bath ceremony. Before soaking, there is a one-on-one blessing for good fortune, wealth, longevity, and happiness, which is very ritualistic. In addition, there are bedtime sweets and a handwritten leaf from the butler informing you of the next day's weather during turndown service.
3️⃣ Dining
The breakfast here is highly praised. Each person receives a customized set of staple food. I chose the matsutake beef rice noodles with grilled rice cakes. The à la carte black truffle scrambled eggs and snack platter were also very good. The rest of the meals are served buffet-style.
I tried the French teppanyaki recommended by the butler for dinner. Be sure to reserve an outdoor seat in advance, it's really beautiful and very ritualistic.
Finally, the most cost-effective option is the vegetarian restaurant. A vegetarian set box for CNY 48 is quite a good deal, and there is also a vegetarian set menu for CNY 498 per person.
4️⃣ Hotel Activities
The hotel has a blessing and lantern-releasing ceremony every night at 8:30 pm, with a champagne tower and snacks. They also offered a mooncake-making activity during the season. The rice fields near the hotel are all lush green, no less than Xizhou. The hotel provides mountain bikes, and we also ate rice field fish at a local's home. In addition, the hotel's singing bowl course is also very healing.
Because the hotel is located in the Tengchong Yunfeng Mountain Primitive Forest Park, the hotel's forest hike is highly recommended, no less than Gaoligong Mountain. Moreover, the price of hiking in Gaoligong Mountain is not low now. After the hike, the butler will arrange a luxurious jungle tea break.
