The much anticipated Deluxe Resort Banyan Tree will open its doors this year in Chongqing, in the heart of Sichuan province. The property will open step by step from February to the end of 2013.
HONG KONG- Set to open in 2013, Chongqing Beibei Banyan Tree is a top residential property co-invested by the cross-national operating developer of premier resorts, hotels and spas – Banyan Tree Residences, as well as the leader in “hotel real estate” – Forebase Group. Based on strategic adjustment of developments in Greater China, Banyan Tree Group has targeted on the investors’ newest trends to launch the first exclusive hot spring Banyan Tree Residence available for sale, offering a peaceful hideaway accommodation experience.
Seamlessly woven together, the top hotels, boutique apartments and natural spa of Chongqing Beibei Banyan Tree provide not only the best sensory experience, but also an excellent platform for guests to live and relax. The Banyan Tree hotel and Banyan Tree Spa in the first phrase will be among the first to open in February 2013. As for the ultimate ecologically aesthetic Banyan Tree Residence, 44 two to three room Hillside Residences will be completed by June 2013, and 61 one to two room Wetland Residences will be launched by the end of 2013 – with residential area ranging from 2,400 to 6,300 square feet and the price from HK$14.91 million to HK$34.79 million.
As the only private property of Banyan Tree in the world, Chongqing Beibei Banyan Tree Residence enjoys unique geographical advantage. The national key scenic spot Jinyun Mountain nearby provides the most exceptional natural atmosphere for the property, with waves of ridges and peaks and picturesque scenery. Meanwhile, guests will be able to enjoy the priceless “origin of health”— Chongqing North Spring without leaving home. The source of hot spring culture has been beautifully integrated into the stretches of Jinyun Mountain.
A haven of peace, the property is a 50-minute drive from the Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, and a 40-minute drive to the city center of Chongqing, providing guests from all over the world convenient access to this inspiring natural land.
The Banyan Tree Private Residence delicately combines art and nature in the architecture, with the integration of Chongqing’s natural landscape and Ba-Yu culture.
Taking the building style during the time in which Chongqing was the “Provisional Capital” as its theme, distinguished characteristics of traditional stilted buildings have been ingeniously displayed, particularly the notion of a raised home, overlooking the water. With traditional and modern elements perfectly interlaced, living space and natural scenery are also impeccably merged together to construct the most genuine relationship between human and the nature.
For the interior design, modern Chinese and a combination of Eastern and Western style have been adopted. Classic brands around the globe have been selected to create exquisite lifestyles, raising the quality of life by every detail, and these include Danish top audio company Bang & Olufsen (B&O), Germany Kohler luxury sanitary ware, Germany Hansgrohe double shower systems and other luxury bathroom configurations. With heated infinity pools and individual spa massage pools, the peaceful residence for the worldly-wise allows guests to fully enjoy the gift of nature.
