A holiday retreat transformed from a former sugar mill.
Alila Yangshuo Hotel was built from a sugar mill dating back to the 1960s. The hotel retains the mill’s original structural features, using its historic brick walls as the main color tone that extends into parts of the new building.

The hotel repurposes the sugar mill’s industrial trusses, ponds, chimneys, and brick houses into public spaces, while incorporating brick elements into the newly built villas and hotel suites, giving them new life.
