From the architect. This secluded and tranquil hillside resort in Yunnan, China, owes its subtle and elegant design to OAD’s inherent understanding of local culture and
geographic position. Competent combination of materials, colors and architectural solutions create a dramatic e㈹ect. Dark wood, warm ivory walls, stone or wooden floors, and
a well-balanced architecture, together with large pools and finely manicured landscapes are a testament to the idealistic goals of the resort.
The Doubletree Resort by Hilton is a resort in the town of Xishuangbanna on the outskirts of Yunnan’s cultural heartland. This settelment, also called Banna, borders Myanmar
and Laos and enjoys unparalleled natural beauty as it sits amidst lush green mountains and a tropical environment.
The hotel comprises of 420 rooms, a conference center, two restaurants, and a lounge bar. It has an indoor gym along with three pools, one indoor two outdoor. The hotel
contours the perimeter of its site and presents a long view to the eastern mountains where the sun rises and the lobby sitting at the resort’s higher western point where guests
enjoy magnificent sunsets facing the entry garden.

There is a constant dialog with the local vernacular architecture and it is best seen in the hotels upper floors and roofs that merge the local materials, roof tiers, along with
outward slanted walls and posts for a locally inspired design. The architecture of the guestroom wings is more contemporary but still presents a relaxed attitude about it. It is
this blend of so″ contemporary and local architecture that exemplifies the success of the resort. Public areas that speak to the vernacularism of the region and guestroom wings
that blend a more modern take on resort hotels and the traditional architecture language of Dai region.
A large open air lobby greets arriving guests, with a scale and proportion that feels natural, it enjoys views of three open landscapes. The design is also inspired by a local type of
osmanthus flower that natives keep in their homes and the traditional Yunnan pedestal drum. The locally inspired design elements along with the open air lobby create a sense
of outdoor living that is found only found in Banna.

Each room enjoys a view of the inner garden and guests can enjoy the natural setting from the balcony that connects the outside with the inside. The outside, the resort’s inner
garden, magically complements the architecture. This inner sanctum of the resort is an area with reflecting pools, meandering paths, and secret gardens that are sheltered by
large tropical palm trees and lavish local flora. These gardens and courtyards provide spaces for recreation, gathering, meditation, or exploration. There are three pools that
speak to the wide range of guests, providing areas for family enjoyment, and areas for rest and seclusion.
Smart combination of materials, colors and architectural solutions create a dramatic e㈹ect. Dark wood, warm ivory walls, stone or wooden floors, and a well-balanced
architecture, together with large pools and finely manicured landscapes are a testament to the idealistic goals of the resort.
This secluded and tranquil hillside resort owes its subtle and elegant design to OAD’s inherent understanding of local culture and geographic position.
