Country : China

Type : 4 Stars

The Vines Lodge is a beautiful boutique hotel located in Munar Village approx 2kms to the east of Turpan approx 500 metres away from the Emin Minaret a major tourist attraction.

 

The Vines Lodge is built in the typical Uighur style of architecture and layout. The mud brick exterior surrounds a courtyard leading to the living areas. Ceilings are high and courtyard and roof living is encouraged in the dry, warm climate. However beneath the mud brick exterior is a modern structure built to the highest standards. Locals have nicknamed The Vines, “The Palace”!

 

The Vines is set amongst the local village vineyards; there are always village activity outside the lodge and guests are welcome to wander through vineyards and sample the produce. A short walk down the quiet drive takes you to the village where local products can be bargained for, or guests can soak in the atmosphere of a true local Uighur village – cows, sheep, chickens, market stalls, donkey carts and all.

 

The Vines is the first accommodation from the Silk Route Hotels franchise built literally in the backdrop of a vinyard! It is open from 1st April to 30th October every year. 

 

Book The Vines Lodge Turpan to get an authentic regional village experience while enjoying a simple but stunning four star accommodation.
