Ritz-Carlton hotels has unveiled plans to launch an all-villa resort within one of China’s earliest UNESCO World Heritage sites, Jiuzhaigou Valley.
Located in Sichuan province, on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, the property will overlook multi-level waterfalls, lakes and forests.
The resort will include just 87 villas with panoramic views of the valley and the Min Mountains, as well as a “mountain spa.”
“Working closely with our partners, we will be curating a Jiuzhaigou experience that honours its UNESCO heritage,” said Herve Humler, Ritz-Carlton’s president and CEO.
Scheduled to open in 2017, Ritz-Carlton Jiuzhaigou will join eight existing properties in the brand’s mainland China portfolio. Ritz-Carlton is also planning to launch two more properties in Haikou and Nanjing.
