Dream Island • Huo Mountain is a resort hotel that has grown from the red land, embodying the aesthetics of life, local culture, art, and architectural design. It is also a time vessel, the result of 12 years of dedication by its architect and owner, Baxun.
Dream Island began in 2020 as a small-scale hotel next to the Erhai Lake, with just 7 rooms. In 2021, Dream Island • Huo Mountain briefly emerged with 9 rooms. After four years of reconstruction, it has now evolved into a vacation paradise rooted in the soul of the land, offering 23 rooms.
This is not a cold, luxurious space, but rather an experiment in cultural awakening, artistic appreciation, and life healing.
"First off, the design and vibe of Huoshan Hotel are simply impeccable. The owner, being a designer themselves, has maximized texture in every aspect, from how light and shadow enhance the building's aesthetic to the selection and pairing of various materials. Each room offers a unique view, with the balcony extending seamlessly from the room, complemented by plants on the terrace, creating a beautiful blend of elegance and enjoyment. The attention to detail truly shows the owner's dedication to this hotel. From the subtle texture of a small bell to the thoughtful pairing of a vase and candles, and from the color scheme of the pool to the harmonious use of full glass panes and wooden doors – everything reveals the owner's masterful control over design and their perfectly balanced operation, all working together. So, whether you're in the hallway, by the pool, in the restaurant, at the coffee bar, or even in the hotel's own craft shop, you can easily snap amazing photos. A truly good hotel really boils down to meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to perfection. Thumbs up to the owner! 👍"
