Banyan Tree Mount Emei
Banyan Tree's courtyard resort at the foot of Mount Emei, opened 3 August 2026 at No. 55, Section 1, Jingqu Road in Huangwan, beside Baoguo Temple and about two minutes from the scenic-area gate. The hotel lists 130 rooms and villas in six categories, each with a private outdoor hot-spring pool.

The hotel page lists the Presidential Villa at 669 square metres. BUZZ designed the architecture, CCD the interiors, and GVL the landscape; seven century-old camphor trees were kept in place, and arrival is organised around a si shui gui tang courtyard. Dining includes Jiayao for Sichuan and Cantonese cooking, Mingyue for all-day meals, the Lobby Lounge, and Destination Dining by the lake or in the bamboo. The Study Room, designed by Zhuang Ziyu and named for Huizong Hall, the earlier name of Baoguo Temple, holds tea, calligraphy, and private meals. Banyan Tree Spa lists five couple treatment rooms. Emeishan High-Speed Railway Station is about five minutes by car; Chengdu Shuangliu is about two hours by road or about an hour by high-speed train to Shuangliu Airport station. Check-in from 15:00, check-out 12:00. Book through banyantree.com or reservations-emei@banyantree.com, and confirm Golden Summit tickets on official scenic-area WeChat before you lock a Saturday.

While you're there
Walk Baoguo Temple first; it is the historic gate monastery, a few minutes from Huangwan, and the honest temple visit before any hotel Study Room. Book Golden Summit tickets and timed high-mountain buses on the official WeChat channels (峨眉山景区 or 峨眉山旅游官方平台), then keep Leshan Giant Buddha as a separate half-day, about 40 minutes by car when traffic cooperates.
Pro Tip: Reserve the Golden Summit slot and the Leidongping bus window before you confirm a Saturday arrival; the 2026 daily cap is what wrecks a last-minute summit plan, not the hotel desk.
