Minor Hotels Expands China Portfolio with Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort

Minor Hotels, a global hospitality group that owns and operates hotels, resorts and residences in 57 countries, has entered into an agreement with Sichuan Dexinhousheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd to develop Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort. Slated to debut in October 2025, Anantara's first property in Sichuan province will provide access to a host of nature-based experiences in the heart of Western Sichuan's Golden Tourist Route.

Located in Dayi County, an hour's drive from Chengdu city, the 111-key luxury resort will leverage the unique national and cultural assets of the National 5A Tourist Attraction-designated area, the highest distinction awarded by China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Surrounded by pristine nature, guests can enjoy world-class skiing at Xiling Snow Mountain and the therapeutic benefits of the ancient Huashuiwan Hot Springs. Only twenty minutes from the resort lies the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a popular destination for both local and international travellers.

Led by the global hospitality design firm Cheng Chung Design (CCD), the interiors of Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort will frame the area's spectacular panorama, letting the scenic outdoors in. Guest rooms and suites, ranging from 100 to 500 square metres, will provide access to piped hot spring water, complementing the resort's expansive leisure facilities such as a serene swimming pool, an Anantara Spa, wellness centre, and an entertainment centre.

After an invigorating day on the slopes or relaxation at the hot springs, holidaymakers can explore an array of culinary offerings, including a Chinese restaurant with eight private dining rooms, an all-day dining venue and a specialty restaurant. Meanwhile, delegates in town for events will have 800 square metres of sophisticated banquet and meeting space at their disposal.

"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 is the third resort to launch in China under the Anantara Hotels & Resorts brand after Anantara Guiyang Resort in 2017 and Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort in 2013.
