Yangshuo Jora Hotel

From sunrise over the mountains to sundowners in the cocktail bar- Yangshuo Jora Hotel in Guilin wraps guests in natural beauty and luxury. This restful boutique hotel invites guests to be waited on hand and foot- as butlers fetch books from the 500 strong library and tea ceremonies offer a taste of Chinese traditions. For a more modern tipple- the elegant bar serves espressos and ice creams during daylight- and martinis when cocktail hour strikes. Meanwhile Shishan Restaurant blends classical Chinese cooking with contemporary Western influences and sustainable practices- with the pine forest backdrop setting a sublime scene for creative cookery. Those views continue throughout the hotel as each of the rooms and suites looks out across the misty jade mountains- or the Lijiang River- speckled with bamboo rafts. Rise and really shine amongst natural tones- white linens and modernist interiors before a dip in the outdoor pool. Or master the ancient art of meditation ahead of a blissful afternoon in the spa. There are plenty of tranquil spots for settling down with a book and a glass of wine from the hotel cellar and breathing in the mountain air- as well as routes starting at the hotel to explore the sublime scenery. Trips out could see you tracing the river and rice fields on foot or by bicycle- taking the high road to the karst peaks shrouded in mist- or exploring the local villages that ripple out from Yangshuo Jora Hotel. Strolls around Yangshuo Park- Shanshui Gardens or Antenna Hill will have you feeling as though you have stepped into a classical Chinese painting. Yangshuo Jora Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
