Hotel Description
At Gyalthang Dzong Hotel in Yunnan, China you will discover your own Shangri-La... a distant and secluded hideaway of great beauty and peacefulness. A remote paradise on earth where harmony reigns, where the gods walk among the people, and where man and nature embrace.
For a holiday in a place as novel as it is ancient, choose an Angsana-managed hotel. Gyalthang Dzong Hotel is a typical Tibetan building but with a unique architecture in 'Tibetan lamasery' style. A lamasery is a monastery for lamas - Buddhist monks who are spiritually qualified to lead people towards enlightenment.
The place is not new to travellers. The Southern Silk Road began in Sichuan province to the north, crossed the length of Yunnan and continued on to Vietnam. Some 2,000 years later, the region gained a new mystique as the setting in James Hilton's novel 'Lost Horizon'. Today, with the opening of China and its emergence as an exotic destination, visit the most unexplored corner of all - Gyalthang Dzong Hotel.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation
Gyalthang Dzong Hotel brings international standards of service to the Tibetan borders while maintaining the small and cosy scale of a boutique hotel. In keeping with Tibetan lamasery style, all rooms face inwards towards a central courtyard, which hosts al fresco dining and an informal outdoor space.
Inside the rooms, the interior decor uses vibrant colour and ethnic textiles to create an intimate ambience while exuding the spirit of an Angsana-managed hotel. Rich hues of orange, rust and maroon incorporate the decorative motif of the Endless Knot, one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
Room windows are characteristically Tibetan, featuring multiple small glass panes set in a square frame. Facing outwards over the valley, the rooms lend spectacular views either over the expansive valley and towering mountains or otherwise towards the "protector" hill behind our retreat.
