Designed by the internationally acclaimed AvroKO, Shangri La Kunming draws inspiration from the elegant world of a tea merchant’s private residence, where guests were once welcomed with quiet grace. From the cultural keepsakes displayed in the ‘Secret Garden’ to the lobby installations Woven Mountains and Woven Spring, each element captures Kunming’s poetic scenery and cultural richness.
On the 18th floor, the Horizon Club Lounge is warmed by a red copper fireplace, inviting guests to gather, linger, and savour a cup of tea. Along the corridors, stained-glass windows offer “a view at every step—distinct yet connected”, allowing guests to experience Yunnan’s distinctive charm in the gentle play of light and shadow throughout the day.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
