Aman opens its latest property in China
Aman Group recently opened a third property in China, set on a hillside above the UNESCO-protected Old Town of Lijiang, often referred to as one of the most beautiful places in the country.
The Amandayan hotel consists of traditional courtyard buildings and presents 35 spacious suites with terraces and views of Lijiang, the surrounding countryside and far-off, snow-capped mountains.
A special part of the resort is the preserved Wenchang Palace, set in a traditional courtyard dating back to 1725, with features including hundred-year-old trees, ornate carvings and colorful paintings along rooftops and buildings. The palace was used as an examination hall for scholars taking the famous entrance examinations for the Chinese civil service.
“Adhering to the Aman philosophy, this property is built on a one-of-a-kind location, explores every facet of its history; then incorporates culture, comfort and a personal touch to create a retreat that truly complements its surroundings,” said Aman CEO Olivier Jolivet in a press release on Feb. 26.
Still in its soft-opening phase, Amandayan complements the existing Aman properties in China: Aman at Summer Palace in Beijing and Amanfayun in Hangzhou.
