Managed by BTL Group, WEI Retreat Tianmu Lake debuts a distinctively family-friendly Chinese luxury resort concept focused on personal warmth, the tranquility of Chan Buddhism and reflective appreciation of tea and other aspects of China’s rich cultural heritage including filial piety. The WEI Retreat property won Luxury Hotel of the Year by China MAG Travel Awards a year after opening.
As the very first website it needed to make investors happy and confident for the launch. We had to work extra hard on design and functionality as the luxury industry demands that perfect balance. Starting from scratch also meant the code build would require lengthy beta testing. Web development had to proceed hand in hand with video shooting and visual identity design finalization, we were on a tight deadline. When delivery day came, we delivered successfully and the client showcased it to industry experts with confidence. With the clients approval we launched the site during the retreat opening party.

Simple Room Booking
Managing hotel rooms is always tricky. Most hotels and retreats place rooms on multiple 3rd-party platforms. We needed to interface with these platforms to update room availability on the website. From finding your perfect room to paying for it on your phone or tablet, the status of your booking was always accurate.
Facility Pages
We made information on all other services and facilities of the retreat available online. Easily learn all the services and experiences the resort offers across mobile devices. The spa, restaurants, tea farms, hikes, and nearby attractions.
Chinese Website
Though English was the native site language, we built a Chinese counterpart as well. The Chinese version was inspired by Chinese traditional culture elements.

We built an online room booking engine to allow visitors to book rooms and pay directly on the company website.
