History
The first decade was a Lijiang idea that learned how to travel. Zhang Bei opened Zhimeng in the old town in the spring of 2010, sixteen rooms and a bet that a courtyard inn could be a brand. More Lijiang courtyards followed. In 2012 the model left Yunnan: Dariel Studio, the Shanghai office of French designer Thomas Dariel, finished a 20-suite conversion in Zhouzhuang that May. In 2015 a former girls' school in Tongli, one wall from the UNESCO garden Tuisi, became the Suzhou house. In 2017 a Beijing siheyuan near Houhai opened under another Huazhu name, VUE, and later took Blossom House.
