Who it suits
Design enthusiasts who want a substantial riverside hotel alongside countryside exploration.
A stay, imagined
Walk through the old factory spaces before setting out into Yangshuo’s landscape. A guided countryside outing can occupy the morning without turning every day into a transfer; leave enough time to return while the light still catches the karst peaks. Back at the hotel, the riverside pool and the industrial structures give the afternoon a different texture. Dinner can stay within the complex, with a later drink at 1969 Bar if it is operating for your dates. Choose the room’s setting as carefully as the category.

Browse Events & Experiences ↗How the stay could unfold
Explore the old factory spaces before going into the countryside with a guide. Return before the day becomes a long sequence of road stops, with time for the pool and the river view.
Keep one evening close to the hotel, subject to the restaurant’s operating dates. The building and the landscape deserve time together, rather than a brief photographic stop.
What we can coordinate
- Accommodation and arrival transfers matched to the setting
- Dining, local guides and experiences around your preferred pace
