HUALUXE Hotels & Resorts Kunming

Hualuxe may be IHG’s Chinese domestic-travel luxury brand, but its hotels are frankly too fine for international guests to ignore. And Hualuxe Kunming, with its resort-style setting in the Kunming Lake Resort Area, is a beautifully tranquil escape. It’s convenient to plenty of business destinations, if that happens to be why you’re in Kunming, but it’s also a self-contained leisure experience, including a fairly elaborate spa and fitness center and a pair of restaurants, the extravagant and traditional Cai Feng Lou and the more casual East-West fusion option, Xianyan All Day Dining.
