Travel Experience

The Linden Centre is an American-owned, award-winning boutique hotel offering the intrepid traveler a true immersion into authentic China. Guests reside in an expansive and luxurious courtyard home in Xizhou, a pristine village in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province. In the foothills of the Himalayas, guests enjoy a year-round spring climate and direct access to rich, undisturbed cultures in a true melting pot of the region.

Responsibility

The Linden Centre’s goal is to serve as rural havens for deeper interaction with the Dali community and structured explorations of China’s past. The facility is a nationally protected heritage site that has been restored to its former dynastic elegance, here guests have an avenue for cultural immersion and exchange with each other and the local community.

Business Case

When you stay at The Linden Centre, you are purchasing more than a hotel room. Our heritage sites, with their carefully restored common areas are as much your home as it is ours. The goal is to encourage guests to interact with our family, our knowledgeable staff and with our town’s gregarious and curious villagers over activities such as calligraphy, tea and wine tasting, ceramics, photography and painting workshops, culinary classes, hiking, architecture tours, and traditional crafts. Thus, your time with us at the Centre is not simply a hotel stay, but rather a passage into an intellectually stimulating and visually stunning exploration of traditional China.
