Step into a world of imperial grandeur at Imperial Springs, a sprawling estate nestled in the rolling hills of Conghua. Inspired by the majestic architecture of the Tang Dynasty, this resort is often referred to as a “Modern Forbidden City.” It is a sanctuary of peace and prestige, where ancient Chinese aesthetic meets world-class luxury, offering a rare escape for those who seek to experience the “Emperor’s life” amidst lush mountains and healing hot springs.
Located in Conghua, the verdant “back garden” of Guangzhou, the resort is surrounded by emerald forests and misty peaks. This region is famous for its rare radon hot springs—one of only two in the world (the other being in Switzerland). While it is only a 90-minute drive from the city center, Imperial Springs feels worlds away, offering a secluded micro-climate of pure air and absolute silence.
The accommodation consists of expansive private villas, each a masterpiece of neoclassical Chinese design. Featuring private swimming pools, hot spring pavilions, and tranquil courtyards, the villas are designed to offer total seclusion. The interiors exude a sense of regal dignity, with high ceilings, dark wood accents, and fine silk fabrics. It is a private cocoon where you can bathe in the healing waters of your own spring while gazing out at the serene mountain landscape.
The scale of the resort is truly awe-inspiring. We love the Imperial Museum on-site, which houses thousands of precious Chinese artifacts, and the world-class golf course designed by Colin Montgomerie. For a truly unique experience, the “King’s Feast” dining program recreates ancient imperial recipes with modern finesse. It is the ultimate choice for those who value privacy, history, and the restorative power of nature, all served with a level of hospitality that is truly fit for royalty.
