Zhejiang Xizi Hotel · Wangzhuang · West Lake Famous Garden

I’ve long admired Wangzhuang, the iconic lakeside retreat near West Lake in Hangzhou, and finally had the chance to stay here during a Black Friday deal that felt like a steal. The moment I stepped in, I could tell this was something special—excellent service, top-notch dining, and an atmosphere that truly feels luxurious. The property is vast, with beautifully maintained lawns and trees. Since we visited right at peak season for maple and ginkgo foliage, the grounds were gently dusted with golden leaves, creating a magical, almost cinematic setting. Paths are clean and well-kept, making it easy to wander around for hours just taking photos and soaking in the scenery. We booked the daily 10 AM 'Wangzhuang Cruise' tour, which circles West Lake in about an hour. The boat itself is spotless, with comfortable upholstered seats, air-conditioned enclosed cabins, and panoramic glass windows that offer stunning views of both sides of the lake. I especially loved standing at the back deck to capture sweeping shots of the water and gardens—absolutely breathtaking. The highlight of the stay was the complimentary photography package. While one of the staff members from Hainan came across as rather abrupt and inflexible, the photographer, Mr. Song, and the makeup artist were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. Their work brought out the best in our photos, and the final results were truly memorable. Overall, despite a minor hiccup, the experience exceeded expectations—this place deserves every bit of its reputation.

Special mention to Mike Zhang (Zhang Xinggang), whose professionalism, kindness, and genuine warmth left a lasting impression. He made me feel seen and valued throughout my visit. Overall, the hotel excels in every aspect—location, facilities, cleanliness, and hospitality. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Hangzhou.

Walking into the lobby, the massive golden sphere still delivers that wow factor—plus the Christmas decorations really set a festive mood, making it impossible not to snap a few photos. We booked three standard rooms and one river-view room, which meant quite a few details to coordinate, but our client manager was incredibly patient and helpful with every request. Special shoutout to Manager Zheng—your professionalism and warmth made all the difference! The ambiance throughout the hotel is excellent. Our river-view room faced the sports center and Hangzhou Gate directly, offering stunning views. Waking up early for breakfast, we even caught the sunrise from the dining area—pure magic.

New Century Hotel Binjiang Hangzhou

Staying at New Century Hotel Binjiang Hangzhou was a fantastic experience overall. The room was on a high floor, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline and the nearby river—especially stunning at night when the lights came on. The hotel’s interior design embraces a traditional Chinese aesthetic with elegant details throughout, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Located right in the heart of Binjiang District, it's incredibly convenient for both business and leisure travelers—just a short walk to shopping centers and public transit options. The buffet breakfast was impressive: wide variety, fresh ingredients, and well-prepared dishes from both local and international cuisines. Staff were friendly and attentive, making every interaction pleasant. The only minor issue was inconsistent hot and cold water pressure, possibly due to the building’s height, but it didn’t significantly impact the stay.

The lounge area is beautifully designed—one side opens to the pool, while the other leads down to a charming garden connected to the ground-floor restaurant. The staircase layout has a playful, almost Squid Game-inspired vibe, making it ideal for Instagram-worthy shots. And let’s not forget the adorable pink inflatable bunny guarding the entrance—cute and photogenic! The lobby is compact but welcoming, with cozy seating and a small coffee bar nearby. The staff, especially front desk agent Xiao Xue, went above and beyond with warm, attentive service. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Overall, an unforgettable stay with exceptional value—definitely planning to return.

Grand Hotel

Staying at this garden-style hotel right by West Lake was an absolute delight. The property is spread across several charming buildings, each with its own character, and it even has a private lake boat for guests to enjoy the scenic views from the water. The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, with excellent bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were attentive and friendly, always ready to help without being intrusive. I appreciated having access to a self-service laundry room—perfect for longer stays. The Chinese restaurant served delicious, authentic dishes, and breakfast offered a great variety of options, from local dim sum to Western staples. Best of all? The back entrance leads straight to the lakeside walking path—ideal for morning strolls or evening walks under the soft glow of the lanterns. Whether you're here for sightseeing, relaxation, or just a quiet getaway, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommended.
