An abandoned sugar mill in China has transformed into a new resort hotel. Vector Architects was able to use much of the refinery’s old structure and repurposed them into the new Alila Yangshuo hotel. The end result is a structure that features natural light and ventilation with beautiful mountain scenery.
Old buildings were able to be repurposed into a massive luxury hotel by Vector Architects. They were able to preserve some of the original heritage while adding a number of great amenities, including a cafe, bar, multipurpose hall, library, and an outdoor pool. The pool location features a sunken plaza and old steel columns that were in the sugarcane loading area.’
Next to Alila Yangshuo’s amenities and its pool complex is the main guestroom building, the Sugar House Retreat. This features luxury rooms with their own balconies to provide breathtaking scenery from the surrounding mountains. A Garden Townhouse includes suites that are next to ponds and bamboo gardens. There are 117 total guestrooms for travelers to stay at.
