Who says romance has to be a distant dream?
Hidden within the bustling C86 Camellia Cultural and Creative Park is a French-style secret garden. Stepping through the door is like stepping into early summer in southern France. The courtyard is lush with greenery, sunlight filtering through the leaves creating dappled patterns. Every step is like a scene from a healing movie – a rare tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
The intelligent cream-colored terrace room offers a private retreat of gentle comfort.
The entire room features adorable intelligent voice control; simply speak to adjust the lighting, curtains, and room temperature. For those seeking a relaxing getaway, simply lie back and enjoy the bliss. Luxury amenities abound: a Dyson hairdryer, Balmain toiletries (same as those at the Grand Hyatt), a Marshall sound system, and even toiletries including steam eye masks and disposable face towels – thoughtful details everywhere. Wake gently to the sunlight and birdsong, and open your private terrace to be greeted by soothing greenery. Rooms with bathtubs are a must-try; unwind with a rose bath at night.
The most delightful experience is undoubtedly the afternoon tea service in the guest rooms. Nestled on the soft sofa with a pot of warm black tea, you can chat leisurely, the passing moments enveloped in a gentle, sweet atmosphere, enjoying a relaxing ambiance without ever leaving the room.
📍Transportation Tips: Located next to Henglong Plaza and Nanping Pedestrian Street, a 5-minute walk from Dongfeng Square Metro Station; vehicles are not allowed in the park, but the hotel provides a 24-hour shuttle bus service for worry-free travel.

Window seats offer stunning views of the city skyline at dusk, making every shot a high-fashion masterpiece. Each dish is breathtaking.
🥗Organic Tomato Salad: Made with five kinds of highland open-air organic tomatoes, chill-marinated in white wine and thyme, and paired with jasmine white wine jelly. The natural sweetness and slight tartness of the tomatoes are refreshing and appetizing, with layers of fruity and floral aromas that unfold beautifully before the main course.
🦢Traditional French Foie Gras Pâté with Huize Caviar: Three French delicacies served together! Yunnan Langde foie gras is smooth, silky, and free of any fishy taste.

Fig jam balances the richness, and it's finished with pistachio crumbs and Italian balsamic vinegar, creating a long-lasting and luxurious finish.
🐟Tuna Tata: The pinnacle of Yunnan-French fusion! Selected tender tuna cheek meat is paired with Yunnan nanmi (a type of herbal dessert), cilantro, bird's eye chili, and diced Xishuangbanna pineapple. The sweetness of seafood clashes with the sour and spicy flavors of Yunnan, creating a refreshing and appetizing experience. Eating it with your hands is a truly ceremonial experience.
