HUANG YAN 36 Hotel

A welcoming haven in one of China’s most well-appointed cities. HUANG YAN 36 Hotel marries late Qing dynasty architecture with an up-to-date ethos of luxury and adventure, set just a short ferry ride from Xiamen on Gulangyu Island. Check in to the vintage sounds of a record player, among Minnen stained glass windows and South Asian patterned tiles. Sip tea among flourishing kapok and longan trees. Then relax in your outdoor slipper bath, looking out at city views framed by traditional arched windows.

As well as al-fresco bathing, each beautifully lit bedroom at HUANG YAN 36 Hotel comes with a spacious terrace and meticulously considered details. Le Labo products and drying wardrobes make getting ready for your day a dream. You might not want to venture too far when you have the option of relaxing in the peaceful courtyard with a New Chinese tea or Nanyang coffee. Dining on a fusion of local and Western flavours in Thinn Geng restaurant. And enjoying a piano-serenaded whisky nightcap in the lounge.

The Courtyard of Freedom’s soft green lawns and plant-filled spaces play host to open-air movies, congenial sports matches and outdoor yoga. Step out of the ornate gates and take the path up to Sunlight Rock – the most famous lookout on Gulangyu Island. With no cars allowed on the island it’s a little hike, or you can grab an electric buggy. From Hulishan Fortress and the Piano Museum to beaches and gardens, the hotel’s custom-curated tours will immerse you into the local culture.
