Kunming is associated with Shangri-La resort and spa kind of experiences, but the Empark is not that. It is strictly a business hotel, and much better than average. The decor and ambiance is upscale, and there is actually some nice lighting, wood, and interesting design which rises above the usual stone-and-florescents of Chinese business hotels. Rooms are luxurious and homey, they staff is friendly and efficient, and the restaurant has a great mix of well done cuisines where anyone can find something familiar. There is a big shopping center and Carrefour a short walk away.
