Set in the center of Shangri-La, Yunnan Province and surrounded by mountains, the Banyan Tree Ringha offers a spectacular setting, some 3,200 meters above sea level, amid canyons, rivers, plateaus and valleys. To get to the property, guests must take a 40-minute flight from Kunming International Airport to Diqing Airport; the resort is approximately 30 kilometers away.
With architecture reflecting local Tibetan culture, the Banyan Tree Ringha is comprised of lodges that are traditional Tibetan farmhouses. Intricate wood carvings and pine pillars festoon the interior and exterior of these buildings, which all have river or valley views. The hotel offers an array of on- and off-site activities. On-property, guests may seek relaxation at the Banyan Tree Spa, an intimate retreat inspired by sacred Himalayan beliefs. Typical services include the Guishi hot river-stone treatment and a yoga massage. For adventures beyond the hotel's borders, guests can sign up for four-wheel drive winter tours of the region, or go on winter treks via horseback or foot. Monasteries and behind-the-scenes tours of local farmhouses are among the destinations and additional fees apply to these excursions. Guests will find two dining venues serving local Yunnan Province specialties, Chinese and Western fare.

Teak furnishings, native fabrics and red walls combine for a luxurious decorative motif in Guest Rooms here. Private balconies bear scenic views while rooms feature cable television, direct-dial telephones and safes.

Providing an authentic Tibetan countryside experience, Banyan Tree Ringha offers a wide variety of amenities.

\"Secret Village More than 10,000 feet above sea level, in the ancient heartland of Tibets Bon religion, 32 traditional farmhouses have been revamped into decadently rustic suites at Banyan Tree Ringha. Guest quarters are decorated with vivid thangkas and woolen carpets in the rich rust and maroon hues that are a local trademark, and each has an open hearth for cold winter nights as its centerpiece. Private balconies offer breathtaking views of the Ringha River and distant snowcapped peaks. After a days trek in the wilderness, rejuvenate with a hot-stone treatment at the spa. A creative set has fled the urban grind of Beijing and Shanghai and is transforming the traditional mud-brick houses of the surrounding villages into galleries, inns, and cafés. For a bit of a culture shock in misty Shangri-la, you can sip a martini at the bohemian bar Raven in Zhongdian.\"

Travel + Leisure says..."A stay at Bernardus Lodge proves that Napa hotels don't have a monopoly on California's premier wine country. The romantic 57-suite Bernardus is ideally situated in a lush mountain valley between the Monterey peninsula and the Big Sur coast (about 160 miles south of Napa Valley) and close to the region's well-regarded wineries and celebrated golf links. The all-suite accommodations blend antiques and wood-beam ceilings with the requisite high-tech touches, plus plush beds, soaking tubs, and wood-burning fireplaces. The lodge's Marinus restaurant, with chef Cal Stamenov at the helm, has evolved into one of northern California's premier dining spots, serving California natural cuisine: dishes include Sonoma duck and grilled quail served with risotto, chanterelle, and foie gras sauce, and Carmel Bay prawns and shellfish bisque flavored with cilantro and jalapeAo, paired with prize-winning Marinus Estate Bordeaux-style wine from the lodge's own vineyard. There's plenty to keep you occupied in the immediate surroundings, from hikes and horseback riding in the nearby Santa Lucia mountains to tennis, croquet, or bocce on the lodge lawns, but who wants to leave your perch overlooking vineyards, rolling hills, and lavender blossoms?" -From Travel + Leisure
