W Changsa | China

Newly opened, the boldy designed W Changsa by Cheng Chung Design features whimsical artwork such as the Schrodinger's Cat series and the Zeta art installations. The “Avenue of the Stars,” a mixed-media landscape combining digital, interactive, and sound art, transports guests to RUNWAY, a destination bar in the Living Room, the brand’s signature, socially driven spin on the traditional hotel lobby.

The Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties once ruled from Xi’an, the ancient capital and flourishing trade center in northwest China that doubled as one of the starting points for the Silk Road. Honoring that history, albeit in a subtle manner, was top of mind for Guangzhou-based firm IAPA when designing the Xi’an Taibai Wushanju Art Hotel.

According to Chinese mythology, there isn’t a man in the moon - there’s a rabbit. If you didn’t know this cultural fact before check-in, you’ll have grasped it by the time you’ve left. There are bunnies everywhere (including three pink ones flying over reception). There’s also a profusion of peonies – on carpets, curtains and mosaic floors - plus lots of lunar-themed style references. It’s done with such cheerful style, however, it manages to stay on the enjoyable side of kitsch.

The 492-room hotel received some unexpected publicity when Edward Snowden retreated there in 2013 and proceeded to spill the beans on America’s spy network. (If you want to assess room quality watch Oliver Stone’s Snowden, which was filmed in the hotel). It prides itself on its design elements. Some of these verge on the weirdly cinematic - you can easily imagine Snowden skulking around its dark maze of low-ceilinged, stripy-carpeted and mirrored corridors.

The pared-back interiors are a well thought-out reflection of rural life: a cluster of black clay lights handmade in the nearby village of Nixi hang in the lobby; in the library there are original wicker baskets and horse bells once used by the muleteers to take tea to Lhasa. The 30 open-plan bedrooms - many of which overlook the outdoor pool and the River Yangtze and beyond - have furniture and floors made of local pine, oil paintings of the surrounding countryside and a round copper sink.

Yunfeng Spa Resort | Tengchong, China

The pieces of multi-tonal stone used to construct this spa resort give the complex a pixelated appearance. Designed by Kengo Kuma and his Tokyo-based firm, the grounds terraces down a mountain outside the city of Tengchong in China's Yunnan Province. The resort is constructed from varieties of locally quarried stone, which are fitted together like a mosaic to form the walls and pitched roofs of each of the spa complex's buildings.

The 14 outdoor and five indoor hot spring pools take centre stage and there’s also an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre and spa.

Wuyuan Skywells | Jiangxi, China

The hotel features just 14 rooms and suites on a modest plot surrounded by green, rolling mountains and the sinewy Beihe River. It is a restoration of a 300-year-old Huizhou-style mansion, which, like the sugar mill restored by Alila Yangshuo, had been left in ruin for decades.
