My husband and I visited China last fall with friends and selected this hotel after seeing reviews on Trip Advisor. We booked into the less expensive HOMA Libre. Upon arriving at the airport, we were met by Gary, the wonderful concierge from the hotel and were pleasantly suprised that we had been bumped to the Relais and Chateau property. We... more

My friend who recommended HOMA R&C said that people either hate it or love it, and I can see why. I'm pretty happy with my stay there -- friendly staff, all the creature comforts you would expect of a high-class hotel, large grounds to bike around in, good value spa treatments... But it's doesn't quite hit the bar for R&C... more

This is a difficult review to write as HOMA has a lot of potential but it just didn’t hit the mark for us. The bad The location: HOMA is in between Guilin and Yangshou and it’s not easy to get anywhere on your own. So you are at the mercy of the hotel who will sting you for any trip... more

Our extended family stayed at the Relais & Chateaux Hotel (HOMA Libre) in the Yuzi Paradise complex as part of a trip around the Guilin area. The location of the property is a little remote and not the most convenient for extensive sightseeing. But we stayed there mainly to experience the unique design and enjoy the surrounding park, and as... more

Our stay at the HOMA was beyond disappointing. The hotel is far from the city, with nothing really nearby except for the sculpture gardens. Although the sculpture gardens are nice, the gardens themselves were somewhat overgrown and ill-maintained. The common areas of the hotel were modern and fairly clean, although hot and unairconditioned. Mosquitoes were a problem inside and outside... more

My wife and I spent a weekend at this hotel, as part of a short trip around China. It was further out of town than I expected, but that was my own fault for not checking. The welcome and the general ambiance were very good. As the name suggests, the hotel is a showplace for modern art, which extends into... more

We are always looking for something a bit different and still luxurious on our travels, and we really hit the jackpot with the HOMA hotel which we stayed at during our eight week family Around the World trip - we stayed in 18 different places in all. The rooms are lovely, though the lighting in our bedroom was quite poor,... more

We stayed at this hotel as part of an extended tour of China booked through a tour operator. We were due to stay at Sheraton but were told after we arrived at the airport that the hotel smelt of paint following renovations and that company had moved us to this hotel. It was the first time the hotel in this... more

Just returned from 12 days in China. Our first stop was lovely Guilin, where we stayed in the Relais & Chateaux Hotel of Modern Art (HOMA) in the Yuzi Paradise sculpture park. An absolute must-see/ must-experience!! Aside from being situated in a breathtakingly gorgeous setting, the hotel itself is wonderful in every way. Each of the 49 rooms is uniquely... more
