Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo: A Cliffside Sanctuary of Geothermal Luxury and Ecological Rebirth

Located in the Tangshan district of Nanjing, Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo is a remarkable 2026 luxury destination that represents a triumph of ecological restoration. Built within the walls of a formerly abandoned limestone quarry, the resort is a sanctuary where industrial heritage meets natural serenity. A Masterpiece of Regenerative Design The resort’s architecture, designed by the China Architecture Design & Research Group with interiors by Cheng Chung Design (CCD), centers forestparkhotelbymdr.com on the theme of “Rebirth from the Cocoon”. The hotel is built directly into the cliffside, harmonizing with a spectacular cascading waterfall that pours from the top of the cliff into the valley below. Inside, the design utilizes local natural materials such as stone and wood to create a seamless connection with the surrounding environment. High ceilings, minimalist aesthetics, and the “Valley of Light” lobby bar—which features walls reminiscent of rugged canyon rocks—immerse guests in a modern, poetic atmosphere. Sanctuary for the Senses: Rooms and Suites The resort features 115 elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, all designed to offer maximum privacy and a deep connection to nature.

• Private Hot Springs: Every room and suite includes a scenic balcony with its own private hot spring pool, allowing guests to soak in therapeutic geothermal waters while overlooking the valley or craggy cliffs.
• Spacious Accommodations: Rooms start at a generous 646 square feet (60 sqm). Popular options include the Cloud Terrace Cliff Room, which offers botanical rooftop garden views, and the Dream Valley Cliff Suite, a 969-square-foot (90 sqm) retreat with panoramic cliff vistas.
• Signature Touches: Interiors are decorated with custom furniture, warm natural hues, and art pieces like the “Eye of Tangshan Mountain” that reflect the site’s unique history.

Wellness and Gastronomy The resort is a premier destination for health and relaxation. The award-winning Banyan Tree Spa offers signature treatments, including gold foil exfoliation and Yuhua stone massages, alongside an indoor swimming pool with panoramic nature views.
