Conrad Jiuzhaigou

The buildings are sand-colored and scattered across a hillside in China's Min Mountains, staged to look more like a village than a luxury resort, which is either modest or very clever marketing. Either way, Jiuzhai Valley National Park fills every window, and the Conrad earns its Forbes Four Star rating by leaning into that view without coasting on it. Sleek interiors and polished service keep things feeling properly high-end once you're inside.
