There are not many small, intimate yet luxury hotels in China so the two Banyan Tree spa hotels in Lijiang and Ringha in the Yunnan province of China are a welcome addition.

Banyan Tree Lijiang opened this year and has had some excellent feedback from some of my clients who stayed there in July:

"the Banyan Tree in Lijiang was extraordinary. Its one of the most immediately striking, architecturally pleasing and service-oriented hotels I've ever seen or stayed at"

I am off to Malaysia in October so will hopefully return with lots of exciting news to add to my blog!
