Songtsam: Modern Chinese hospitality

Income from Chinese tourism is significant enough to make or break neighbouring economies. But today, with Beijing encouraging consumption at home, domestic travel is increasingly coming into focus. Independent brands are building some of the best examples of this new kind of luxury, rooted in local traditions, geography, cuisine and design. Songtsam, a peerless hotel group from Yunnan province, is a case in point. Join us on a tour of its latest property, designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Wang Shu.
