The hotel exudes a relaxed Mediterranean style, offering 346 luxurious guest rooms with stunning views in an exclusive resort setting in southwest China. This hotel will be the Yunnan Metropolitan City Investment Group's fifth hotel in China.

"Hilton has always enjoyed strong resonance in China, having been one of the first international brands to operate in this dynamic country. The addition of Hilton Yuxi Fuxian Lake strengthens our presence in China where we now have more than 50 hotels, further introducing the Hilton brand to many more corporate and leisure travelers visiting this popular destination," said Rob Palleschi, global head, full service brands, Hilton Worldwide.

Conveniently located 90 kilometers away from Kunming's Changshui International Airport and lively downtown, guests at Hilton Yuxi Fuxian Lake will appreciate the well-appointed indoor and outdoor events and recreational facilities. From walking on the private white sand beach to exploring landscaped gardens and serene bamboo forests, the hotel's lush natural surroundings provide endless relaxation.

For fresh, seasonal signature dishes, guests can dine in a bright, inviting setting reminiscent of a glasshouse at Garden. Guests catching up with friends can do so whilst enjoying Hilton's signature afternoon tea and delicious pastries at the cosy Cha Tea Room, or over a cup of coffee on the Hu Lobby Lounge terrace.
