Now Open: The ArcadiaPlace, Lugu Lake, Where an Ancient Matrilineal Society Merges with Sacred Landscapes

Deeply rooted in the traditions of an ancient matrilineal society, The ArcadiaPlace, Lugu Lake, located in China’s Hengduan Mountains, honors and authentically immerses guests in more than 2,000 years of history. Carefully considered design decisions and custom furniture in guestrooms, luxury treehouses, and the in-house spa reflect the storied local heritage. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame emerald waters, and a rooftop infinity pool stretches out towards sacred mountains. Traditional recipes receive modern twists at two dining and beverage outlets, while a standalone building houses China’s first museum dedicated to women artists: the Museum of Women’s Art (MoWA).
