Gyalthang Dzong Hotel

At Gyalthang Dzong Hotel in Yunnan, China you will discover your own Shangri-La, a distant and secluded hideaway of great beauty and peacefulness. 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.

Gyalthang Dzong Hotel brings international standards of service to the Tibetan borders while maintaining the small and cozy 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 color and ethnic textiles to create an intimate ambience. Rich hues of orange, rust and maroon incorporate the decorative motif of the Endless Knot, one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism. 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 the retreat.

Metok Pema Restaurant is named after the lotus flower, a symbol of purity. The restaurant focuses on morning and evening meals as guests typically spend the day out on tour or away trekking. Named after the legendary khampa hero, the Aku Lemu Bar remains true to its nomadic Tibetan origins with a cozy ambience and seating on a low platform next to the fireplace.

In complete privacy and tranquility, shed the cares of the world while the spa’s staff pampers your body, as well as your mind, with invigorating treatments. Better still, experience the Angsana Spa with a loved one and rediscover the healing pleasure of touch and the aromas of exotic oils like rosemary, lavender, jasmine and frangipani. Feel your muscles being kneaded and the tension seep from your body as you drift off to soothing music and enter a realm of blissful happiness and total relaxation.

Shangri-La County is an ethnic Tibetan township and county set high in Yunnan's north-western mountains. Many travelers use the county town as a gateway into Tibet, either traveling many days overland by Jeep to Lhasa, or by flying from the city's airport. However, the town itself is a tourist destination, primarily due to the nearby Ganden Sumtseling Monastery and Tiger Leaping Gorge.
