Banyan Tree stands out for its romantic and vibrant vacation ambience, while Four Seasons wins customers over with its carefully developed custom-made services and sustained innovation, the report explained.

Many top-end hotels have their own attractions for Chinese guests.

Aman Resorts' hotels are prized for their unique style, while the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's focus on oriental culture and the fame of the Peninsula Hotels have earned them rave reviews from guests.

According to HHtravel's user data, the Peninsula Hong Kong is popular among Chinese guests as it is the most venerable of the local hotel brands. Many have chosen the Mandarin Oriental in Hainan province's Sanya for its proximity to the beach and high-end amenities. Banyan Tree in Yunnan province's Lijiang has received positive reviews for the magnificent view it affords of Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain.

The Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort & Spa in Yunnan's Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture has integrated local ethnic Dai elements with modern design, attracting many admirers.

Bookings data show that the most popular luxury hotels worldwide are those that have managed to integrate the best aspects of local cultures.
