Accor announces the opening of MGallery in Mi’le, one of China’s most picturesque places and known as the ‘Provence of Yunnan’. The captivating DongFengYun Hotel Mi’Le - MGallery is a one-of-a-kind leisure destination in exotic southeastern Yunnan province. The art and culture infused storied hotel marks the first international premium hotel brand to open in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Region, a hidden gem in Yunnan Province.
DongFengYun Hotel Mi’Le - MGallery breathes life to the concept of art igniting dialogues with nature to create inspiration for painting life’s joys. The MGallery in Mi’le is situated within Dong Feng Yun Art Village, a scenic town designed by renowned Chinese master sculptor Luo Xu. Embraced by vineyards and lavender fields, the hotel is set amidst a cluster of distinctively surreal postmodern red brick castles built in harmony with the surrounding red soil land, lush forests, serene lake and mountains. Its curved walls and dynamic shapes pay tribute to the indigenous craft of pottery, winemaking traditions and flickering campfire flames from the area’s ethnic culture. The architecture rises like a dream – a fairy tale that beckons explorers into an exotic realm. The remarkable setting is the ideal backdrop for MGallery’s singular personality, with the hotel deeply rooted in the destination. Yunnan’s diverse ethnic groups including six minorities have imbued Mi’le with a melting pot of different art and craft styles, seen throughout the hotel. Popular nearby sites include Dong Feng Yun Scenic Area, Yunnan Red Chateau, Taiping Lake Forest Park, Keyi Village, Jinping Mountain Scenic Area and Mi’le Temple. It is 6 km to Mi’le High Speed Train Station, and from there it is a 40 minutes’ ride to Kunming South Railway Station and three hours to Dali.
Gary Rosen, Chief Executive Officer, Accor Greater China, said: “As the latest showcase for the MGallery brand – a collection of storied hotels, DongFengYun Hotel Mi’Le - MGallery offers extraordinary and immersive escapes with bespoke design, artful stories and memorable moments. With its organic and distinctive postmodern architectural flourishes, the hotel is an enchanting and authentic experience inspired by the spirit of the region’s beautifully idyllic locale. DongFengYun Hotel Mi’Le – MGallery is a dreamlike haven for adventurers seeking to explore the culture of southeast Yunnan as they share memorable lifestyle experiences with family and friends.”
Interior design helmed by Cheng Chung Design (CCD), DongFengYun Hotel Mi’Le - MGallery references the senses of light – including the use of natural light and design of interior lighting; sound – through the hotel lobby’s unique echoes; forms – in the curving red walls; and other internal and external design elements to reinforce the village’s artistic splendor harmoniously. The hotel offers nine room types across its 232 guestrooms which are equipped with MGallery custom beddings and tailor made Ines de la Fressange amenities set. As part of “Inspired by Her”, MGallery’s dedicated program featuring a selection of products, services and experiences designed by women for women, a thoughtful “Her set” that includes makeup remover, nail polish, and other feminine products is available upon guest request. The room’s unique name and décor reflect local Yunnan painting, pottery, textiles, music and its local treasures of jade and other precious jewels, which underscores the hotel’s aesthetic, breathing life into the idea that art speaks through all; and inspiration enriches life.
The hotel offers brilliant and diverse dining experiences. Guests can dine on international cuisines at Taste all day restaurant, a 230-seat restaurant offering local delicacies, seasonal buffets and a wide choice of a la carte dishes. The intimate setting of Hui Jing Chinese restaurant specializes in Yunnan and Cantonese fusion cuisine, with three private rooms perfect for private dinners or business banquets. Shake Lobby Lounge is a relaxing space to sip organic tea, gourmet coffee, French style grape infused afternoon tea or hundreds of whiskeys from around the world. The hotel’s signature special drink “berry red wine based sparkling cocktail” is not to be missed. For those who prefer to dine by the pool, Fun Bar’s menu has something for everyone, with cocktails, afternoon snacks and light meals. At dusk during summer time, a celebration of nightfall is held by the infinity pool, featuring a wine barrel opening ceremony and flaming cocktail performances, where wine-based cocktails burst into flames at the hands of the skilful bartenders, paying tribute to the surrounding red architectural art and toasting to the beauty of nature. The area’s esteemed red wine is celebrated by the hotel through themed wine offers, tasting activities and curated drinks.
