| Reception |
Alila Hotels and Resorts is pleased to announce the opening
of its second property in China, the Alila Yangshuo. Set amongst picturesque
karst mountains, rolling green hills and meandering rivers, Alila Yangshuo will
pave the way for an exciting journey into the area’s natural and cultural
wonders. Once a working sugar mill, Alila Yangshuo is a modern retro resort of
117 rooms, suites and villas combining stylish simplicity with exceptional
comfort and convenience. Located in Guilin, one of the world’s most stunning
landscapes and overlooking the scenic panorama of the Li River, Alila Yangshuo
is a 1.2 hour drive from Guilin Liangjiang Airport and only a 30 minute car
journey from the Yangshuo railway station.
Designed by Dong Gong of Vector Architects with interiors by
award winning Ju Bin of Horizontal Space Design, the vision of Alila Yangshuo
is to integrate the new with the old. The designers have artfully incorporated
elements of the retro 1960’s sugar mill architecture into the common areas of
Alila Yangshuo as seen in the hollow wall structure and in the transformation
of the original sugarcane dock into a swimming pool.
