The Yixing Yadaxi Mountain Hyatt Regency Hotel consists of six main buildings scattered across the undulating terrain, connected by winding corridors, each turn framing a different picturesque mountain view.  At the heart of the hotel lies a mirrored pool, inspired by Yixing's renowned underground cave lake.
With a generous starting size of 45 square meters for basic rooms, even the most standard accommodations feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and viewing balconies. Some rooms boast an innovative "L" shaped layout, naturally separating the sleeping and living areas. The full-length windows directly face the distant mountains, creating the sensation of floating above the bamboo forest while soaking in the scenic bathtub. Private heated pools are carved from the natural stone of Yixing's Huanglong Mountain, and the bedroom ceiling conceals an electric starry sky screen.
The all-day dining restaurant offers freshly made black rice balls with lily porridge for breakfast, and transforms into an open kitchen theater for dinner.  Remarkably, the restaurant has its own organic farm, ensuring that many vegetables are served within two hours of harvesting.
Treatment rooms feature jade floors heated with underfloor heating, and a preheating system automatically adjusts the room temperature based on reservations. Hot stones containing crushed purple clay are used in conjunction with specially blended essential oils. During the spring tea season, guests can pick fresh tea buds under the guidance of professional tea farmers.
What truly elevates this hotel beyond ordinary luxury resorts is the seemingly casual yet meticulously integrated local culture, evident even in the elevator's fragrance, which is specially formulated to evoke the scent of a bamboo forest after the rain.
