Some hotels are not vegan by theme but are willing to cook a serious vegetarian meal. For plant-based travellers these “vegan-friendly” properties are worth noting too. Here are the ones we came across.
Guangzhou · Argyle Boutique Hotel, Lotus Hill
The hotel holds Pusu Yijing Vegetarian Restaurant, and breakfast includes a vegan set. In Guangzhou, hotels that run vegetarian cooking as a proper restaurant are few; this is one of them.
Beijing · Hotel Éclat
A hotel known for its design. In winter the Swiss chalet themed suites serve fondue with vegan side dishes — if you are strictly vegan, the base and the accompaniments are worth confirming with the hotel beforehand.
Tengchong, Yunnan · Fayu Shanju
A nature-led guesthouse built around ecological symbiosis and inner restoration, ringed by hills and close to the Gaoligong forest. Mid-century furniture and natural materials fill the interior, with a reading area, a tea room and a meditation space. Its own kitchen cooks Yunnan dishes and explicitly supports vegan and special dietary needs.
Anxi, Fujian · Yuequan Hall
A residence known for tea travel. The restaurant sources locally and folds tea into its cooking, and can arrange a health-focused vegan banquet — a good fit for anyone who wants to put tea and lodging in the same plan.
Zhoushan, Zhejiang · Luojia Xugu Collection Hotel, Mount Putuo
Near Puji Temple on Mount Putuo, with rooms in a Zen register. It is not itself a vegan hotel, but staying here puts temples and temple vegetarian food on the doorstep — an option for living inside the atmosphere.
In one sentence: these are not vegan specialists, and the standard of the vegetarian cooking and whether it is served year-round are worth confirming before you book — but next time you travel for work or change planes, they at least mean you will not have to compromise.
