Sunyata Hotel Meili

At 11,000 feet in Yunnan's Meili Snow Mountains, this luxury boutique hotel was built from a Tibetan residence, and the bones still show on purpose. The design philosophy borrows from wabi-sabi, leaving rough finishes and imperfect surfaces intact, so the rooms feel grounded even when the thread count says otherwise. Nobody passes through this corner of Yunnan by accident, which means the guests who do make it tend to be pretty serious about being here.
