Minor Hotels has announced plans to expand Anantara’s luxury portfolio in China with a new resort in Zhejiang’s Anji County.
Designed by Meng Fanhao of Line+ Studio, the resort will commence construction in March 2022 with completion expected by the end of 2024.
Known for its cooler climate, clean air and breath-taking scenery, Anji is a popular escape for nature lovers and hailed as an ecotourism destination. Emerald mountains and tea plantations form the backdrop of the new Anantara Anji which will be located on 165 acres of land.
In addition to 162 guestrooms with sizes ranging from 53-216m2, the property will feature state-of-the-art meeting facilities, an outdoor swimming pool with bar, four international restaurants including Chinese and international cuisine and a full fitness centre.
Complementing the area’s natural surroundings, an Anantara Spa with full healing and wellness facilities and a Zen pavilion will be available to help replenish guests’ health and wellbeing. Sustainable programs such as tree planting activities for the whole family, which will be organically integrated with the resort’s facilities will also be on offer creating an ideal place for multi-generational travel experiences.
Anantara’s culture-minded guests will be able to enjoy a wide range of indigenous experiences nearby including ancient temples and the residence of Wu Changshuo, a prominent painter, calligrapher and seal artist during the late Qing Period adjacent to the resort.
Anantara Anji will join Anantara Guiyang Resort in Guizhou Province and Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort in Yunnan Province as the brand’s third property in China.
