Linden Centre·Shaxi

We spent a couple of nights prior to Christmas '21 at this incredible hotel. Designed, built and managed by the Lindens (same as from the Linden Centre in XiZhou, DaLi), this architecturally-stunning new hotel is tucked away in a pine forest opposite a beautiful Bai minority village. The spacious rooms are in separate rammed-earth villas and are beautifully decorated a modern, nordic style with amazing bathrooms and glass clad balconies to give stunning, serene views down the valley. In winter, the under-floor heating is soooo good! The staff (many from the local community) are kind, smiley and always happy to help. The hotel is in easy range of Shaxi Town by car (there's a new road opening soon which will cut the 35 mins driving time) as well as interesting hikes and local sites. We felt very lucky and privilege to have stayed in such an inspiring new hotel and we hope to be back soon.

I would recommend to book the room with lake view. It’s worth it! The lake with a village in a far background was a very stunning vie, that made you feel clam and really relaxing. I cannot get enough of this view! 觉得！
