| The Banyan Tree - Lijiang is a fabulous place to stay. This glorious cluster of villas looks and feels more like an ancient temple than a hotel - albeit a very opulent, luxurious temple! Every villa faces the sacred Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - commanding THE most spectacular views. And every villa has its own heated pool. Lijiang is often referred to as the Venice of the Orient because of the many bridges and canals that lace through the maze of cobbled streets. This historic town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. |
| In his famous novel "Lost Horizon" James Hilton describes "Shangri-La" a secret mountain paradise in a Tibetan valley. This area is part of China's Yunnan Province - and is home to the breathtaking Banyan Tree Rhinga Hotel. At 3,600 meters above sea level, the setting is spectacular - surrounded by mountain peaks, deep canyons, raging rivers in endless valleys, crystal-clear streams and lakes as tranquil and reflective as mirrors. In true Banyan Tree style, the resort architecture reflects the local Tibetan culture. All lodges are traditional Tibetan farmhouses with intricate woodcarvings, smoky fireplaces and wooden balconies with valley or river views. Impressive pine pillars add enormous character to both the interior and exterior of each house. And of course, there is the heavenly Banyan Tree Spa. |
| The Grand Hyatt - Beijing is the ultimate luxury hotel. Business users will appreciate the comfort and the superb service. Tourists will appreciate the location and the swimming pool! Everybody will appreciate the seamless blend of western and oriental. |
