Nestled along the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hangzhou's West Lake, the hotel embraces the essence of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake," offering a sanctuary where tranquility meets vibrancy. Inspired by the millennium-old elegance of the Southern Song Dynasty, it weaves exquisite Song aesthetics into every detail. Rooted in Song-inspired artistry yet blended with modern comforts, the hotel delivers an experience of "urban energy outside, serene retreat within." Stepping into the hotel feels like a journey through time. Elegant design, antique artifacts, and carefully placed Song poetry and paintings flow with the timeless essence of Eastern culture. Guest rooms are thoughtfully crafted—some frame the shimmering lake or lush mountains through their windows, bringing West Lake’s living landscape indoors. Selected modern amenities coexist harmoniously with classic charm, ensuring a comfortable stay. We are dedicated to the art of hospitality, delivering attentive and personalized service.
