Minor Hotels, a renowned global hospitality brand with a presence in 57 countries, has partnered with Sichuan Dexinhousheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd to bring the Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort to life. Set to open in October 2025, this will mark Anantara’s first foray into Sichuan province, offering travelers an immersive escape amidst the natural wonders of Western Sichuan’s Golden Tourist Route.

Nestled in Dayi County, just an hour from Chengdu city, the 111-room luxury resort is located within a National 5A Tourist Attraction, the highest accolade granted by China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Guests will find themselves surrounded by pristine landscapes, with easy access to top-tier skiing at Xiling Snow Mountain and rejuvenating experiences at the historic Huashuiwan Hot Springs. Additionally, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a global favorite among travelers, is a mere 20-minute drive from the resort.

The resort’s design, helmed by the acclaimed Cheng Chung Design (CCD), will harmonize with the stunning natural surroundings, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. The accommodations, ranging from 100 to 500 square meters, will feature access to hot spring water, enhancing the resort’s focus on relaxation and wellness. Guests can also enjoy a variety of upscale amenities, including a tranquil swimming pool, a signature Anantara Spa, a wellness center, and a vibrant entertainment hub.

Culinary enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice, with dining options that include a Chinese restaurant featuring eight private dining rooms, an all-day dining venue, and a specialty restaurant. For corporate and social events, the resort offers 800 square meters of sophisticated banquet and meeting space, ensuring a seamless experience for delegates.

Whether seeking adventure on the slopes or indulgence in Sichuan’s hot springs, Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort promises an unparalleled retreat for discerning travelers.

“We are honoured to collaborate with Sichuan Dexinhousheng Enterprise Management to bring the first Anantara to Sichuan, a destination where innovation and traditional charms coexist harmoniously,” said Eddy Tiftik, Vice President of Operations and Development for Greater China at Minor Hotels and a board member of Funyard Minor Hotels China, a strategic partnership established in 2021 to bring Minor Hotels to China. “Anantara guests expect a blend of local heritage and modern luxury wherever they are in the world, making this prestigious project the perfect fit. Together, we look forward to bringing new opportunities for sustainable tourism development in the region.”

“Joining hands with Minor Hotels will inject new vigour into China’s regional tourism and bring more possibilities to Sichuan’s high-end tourism market,” said Zhou Jinguang, Chairman of Sichuan Dexinhousheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. “Chengdu is one of the country’s natural and cultural gems, and Anantara’s expertise will help us showcase the region’s beauty in a way that celebrates local culture, respects the environment and immerses guests in unforgettable experiences.”

Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort marks the third property introduced by Anantara Hotels & Resorts in China, following the debut of Anantara Guiyang Resort in 2017 and Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort in 2013.
