YAGU Resort Hangzhou

I’ve always dreamed of experiencing the quiet elegance and poetic charm of West Lake, and staying at YAGU Resort Hangzhou truly exceeded my expectations. Nestled right by the lake, every view from the windows feels like a painting—morning mist drifting across the water, golden sunsets glowing over Leifeng Pagoda. The resort is surrounded by lush greenery and gentle trickling streams, creating a serene escape from city life. From check-in to checkout, the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Special shoutout to Mr. He at reception—he went above and beyond, personally escorting me to my room while sharing fascinating insights about the property and nearby attractions. When a small issue came up during my stay, he handled it quickly and thoughtfully. Breakfast was a highlight: a well-curated mix of Chinese and Western options, with standout dishes like freshly made lotus root paste and Dingsheng cake—delicate, sweet, and perfect with a cup of Longjing tea to start the day. The on-site restaurant serves exquisite Jiangnan fusion cuisine. The signature fish head dish is a masterpiece—blending classic Hangzhou flavors with modern techniques, where the aroma of fresh fragrant bamboo shoots dances with the savory depth of ham. I also enjoyed afternoon tea at the lounge, set in a beautifully designed space with panoramic views. The rooms are a thoughtful blend of traditional Chinese garden aesthetics and smart technology. The wooden furnishings, soft lighting, and top-quality bedding (rumored to be from the renowned Kingsdown brand) made for an incredibly restful night’s sleep. Complimentary mini-bar, cozy reading nooks, and a tranquil tea lounge add to the peaceful vibe. I indulged in a spa treatment—the therapist was gentle and skilled, leaving me completely relaxed. Just steps away, the fitness center and indoor pool are spotless and well-equipped, ideal for staying active during a trip. What really sets this place apart is its incredible value. For a luxury experience this refined, the price point feels refreshingly accessible. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or on business, there's something here for everyone. And bonus? The included 3 free professional photoshoots—stunning shots against the resort’s picturesque backdrop, expertly captured by a talented photographer. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone seeking beauty, comfort, and soulful hospitality. I’ll definitely be back the next time I visit Hangzhou.

Relais & Chateaux Seven Villas Hangzhou

Staying at Seven Villas Hangzhou for the second time was just as magical as the first. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, professional, and genuinely attentive service—every interaction felt personal and thoughtful. The room was immaculate, quiet, and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you’d want for a peaceful retreat. I extended my stay this time to fully explore the on-site dining, and wow—every restaurant exceeded expectations. From Xie Xiang Lou to Man Shu and San Yan Ge, each dish looked like a work of art, so visually stunning that even someone who rarely takes photos found themselves snapping shots. But it’s not just about looks—the taste was equally exceptional: only the finest ingredients were used, and every bite delivered an unforgettable flavor experience. The upgraded afternoon tea at San Yan Ge was particularly delightful, with elegant pastries and perfectly paired teas. And let’s not forget the Xiao Qing Spa—pure bliss from start to finish. If you’re looking for a serene, luxurious escape with world-class food, service, and ambiance, this is the place. A truly unforgettable stay.

West Lake Roxanne

Staying at West Lake Roxanne felt like discovering a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Hangzhou’s most serene corners. Nestled right across from Yuhu Bay—a quiet, lesser-known spot that feels like a secret escape—the property offers effortless access to iconic sights like Prince's Bay, Su Causeway, and Flower Harbor View, all just a short walk away. The vibe is peaceful, with the gentle embrace of San Tai Mountain nearby, making it feel like nature’s own retreat. With only 15 rooms, each one thoughtfully designed with unique character—my favorite was the starlit room with its skylight, where I spent an evening lounging in the bathtub, counting stars with my kids under a clear sky. Inside, top-tier air purifiers and eco-friendly toiletries add a layer of comfort and wellness. The ground floor has a cozy reading nook where I sipped coffee and lost myself in a novel. But the real highlight? The outdoor infinity pool with constant temperature—perfect for unwinding with friends, soaking in warm water while sipping wine as dusk settles over the lake. The staff are genuinely attentive, offering personalized breakfasts and thoughtful suggestions for off-the-beaten-path hikes like the route to Yunqi Bamboo Path or Jiu Xi. It’s rare to find such intimacy and quality in a boutique stay—especially when you’re so close to nature yet still within reach of city charm. If you’re after a peaceful, stylish, and truly memorable base to explore the quieter side of West Lake, this place is unforgettable. Just book early—it fills up fast, especially for those special rooms.

Hangzhou Bright Moon Inn

Staying at Hangzhou Bright Moon Inn was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean, with a cozy and thoughtfully designed space that made the stay feel truly relaxing. Breakfast was excellent—fresh ingredients, a great mix of local and Western options, and deliciously prepared. The hosts, a young couple, were incredibly warm and welcoming. The female host even suggested I come back in spring to see the cherry blossoms and tulips blooming along West Lake—she said the fragrance and views would be unforgettable. Even in autumn, the scenery is stunning: the lake shimmers under the golden light, and a short trip up Leifeng Pagoda offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire area. Conveniently located near Prince Bay and just a quick subway ride away from major attractions, this place feels like a hidden gem. It's not just a hotel—it's a peaceful retreat with amazing value. I’ll definitely be returning!

Back in Jiuxi again, and of course I chose this place once more. The new coffee menu is a real highlight—the 'Layflat Duck' afternoon tea was absolutely worth the visit. The room upgrade was a nice surprise, especially the family-friendly room that my kids loved climbing around in. The staff and housekeepers were incredibly warm and welcoming—felt like coming home. Cleanliness and service are top-notch, no complaints at all. This has become one of my favorite hidden gems, and I’ve already recommended it to several friends. I’ll definitely be back just for that cozy vibe and that amazing coffee. Maybe a little VIP discount next time? 😉

Youyiju Holiday Villa Hotel

This stay was absolutely perfect! We originally booked a one-night loft room, but the host kindly upgraded us to another night at no extra cost—such a thoughtful gesture, especially as a mom myself, I totally understand how much kids love lofts. The villa was spotless and beautifully maintained, nestled right within the West Lake scenic area. Being so close to the lake made it easy to explore on foot, and the surrounding views were simply stunning. The host even left a little welcome gift, and when we checked out, they surprised our child with a back-to-school bookmark—so sweet and personal! My kid kept saying they’d come back to stay at 'One Tree' next time. It’s rare to find such warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend this place for families who want a peaceful, memorable getaway in Hangzhou.

The coziest winter escape I've ever experienced! Nothing beats sipping a warm cup of red date tea made by the hostess herself at Beno Hostel. Every corner of this little gem reflects genuine care and thoughtful design—every detail is Instagram-worthy and feels so authentic. The views of the surrounding mountains stretch endlessly, creating a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. I arrived expecting just a place to rest, but ended up staying an extra night because the vibe here goes beyond comfort—it feels like coming home. Warm lighting, quiet surroundings, and that heartfelt hospitality make it more than just a stay; it's a moment of calm in the chaos.

We visited during a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds and brought the kids along for a spring getaway. The villa is incredibly cozy and well-appointed, nestled in the serene area of Manjue Long with endless tea fields surrounding it—perfect for a peaceful escape. Public transport access was easy, making it convenient even without a car. When we checked in, we were lucky enough to witness the host roasting fresh tea right there on-site. He shared some fascinating insights about Longjing tea’s origins, which made the experience feel truly authentic. The kids were fascinated by the whole process and are already asking to come back to try picking tea leaves themselves. Even more thoughtful, they left a small gift of this year’s new harvest tea in our room—delicate, fragrant, and absolutely delightful. This place exceeded every expectation. It’s not just a stay; it’s a genuine cultural and nature immersion. Definitely coming back with friends soon.

Sunday Sunny Resort

This was hands down the best booking of our trip—booked early before prices went up, and the value for money was outstanding. Nestled on San Tai Mountain, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat with fresh air and stunning natural surroundings. The nearest bus stop is at Yu Qian Temple, but we actually preferred walking to Wugui Tan to try the rowboat ride—unfortunately, it was canceled due to weather, but we made up for it by taking a scenic water bus from Guo Zhuang Pier to Hua Gang Guan Yu. The views along the way were absolutely beautiful. After exploring Hua Gang Guan Yu, we returned via the Xiao Lian Qing Feng line from Su Di Pier, which dropped us right at Yu Qian Temple Station—perfect for heading back to the hotel. One small downside: limited food delivery options nearby, but overall, the experience was flawless. This place truly delivers comfort, convenience, and charm.
