This hotel lies in the OCT East eco-tourism area near Shenzhen in southern Guangdong province. There are lakes, a forest and a golf course; it’s a big place. So for those who can’t make it around the resort on foot, the hotel has launched two motorhome-type vans (see pic). Each vehicle can sleep six people and it plans to have 15 vehicles by the second half of the year.
The resort is located in the Wind Valley of OCT East which covers nine square kilometers. The ‘European style’ hotel has 200 guestrooms, three restaurants, a ‘Gothic Bar’ (presumably to fit in with the European style), a theater for banquets/conferences and other MICE facilities.
The eco-tourism part is, according to its website, www.interlakenocthotel.com aimed at “bringing urbanites back to nature”. They have designed various tourist attractions to do so which include three valleys and three towns.
