Joy Mystery Hotel

Top choice in Sichuan


So, you thought travel in Kham was going to be tough? Think again! At this sublime 15-room boutique hotel, set in a renovated 700-year-old building complete with its own temple, life is all about luxurious textiles, walk-in Italian rain showers, delicious meals (included in room rates) and pre-breakfast laps in the infinity pool.

There's even a small museum containing traditional clothing, weapons and ancient relics. A guide for village walks is included in the rates.
