Shandong, China
Qufu, in the Shandong province of China, may be small compared to the likes of Beijing and Shanghai, but it has huge historical significance. It’s the hometown of the philosopher Confucius and has more than 150 World Heritage-listed temples, palaces and cemeteries within its borders.
The hotel, located near the old city wall and the Temple of Confucius, is a stark contrast to its historic neighbours. All 325 rooms and suites are fitted out in an elegant, contemporary design, and are complemented by the hotel’s services and on-site amenities worthy of an Emperor, including a Pillow Menu, limousine service and CHI spa.
