Park Hyatt Ningbo Resort & Spa Reviews

Ningbo Park Hyatt is great and very clean in a quiet part of Ningbo

Fantastic  range of amenities and design. Several onsite restaurants and tea houses with stunning  waterfront landscape. Great breakfast with lake views . Beautiful indoor swimming pool and gym open 24/7. Will definitely come back.

## Park Hyatt Nirvana: A Serene Jiangnan Dream by Dongqian Lake As our car wound along the lakeside road, the understated grey-tiled roofs and white walls of the Park Hyatt Ningbo came into view. This luxurious sanctuary, transformed from an ancient Jiangnan water village, seamlessly blends traditional architectural elegance with modern sophistication. Upon arrival, May, the Front Office Manager, greeted us with a warm smile that instantly melted away our travel fatigue. With professionalism and attention to detail, she introduced the hotel’s amenities and kindly recommended an upgrade to the Lakeside Suite—a decision that immersed us in a dreamlike Jiangnan experience far beyond our expectations. The Lakeside Suite framed Dongqian Lake like a living ink-wash painting. Each morning, we opened the floor-to-ceiling windows to mist-kissed waters resembling a classical scroll; by dusk, the lake shimmered in amber hues under the setting sun, dotted with distant sailboats. Inside, the suite masterfully balanced traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary comfort—exquisitely carved screens divided the tranquil living space, embroidered cushions complemented modern art pieces, and the freestanding bathtub by the window created the illusion of floating above the lake. The smart bedside control system, allowing us to adjust lighting and curtains with a touch, harmonized technology with timeless elegance. May’s service was nothing short of impeccable. Noticing our preference for quiet mornings, she proactively adjusted housekeeping schedules. When we expressed interest in local flavors, she not only recommended authentic Ningbo restaurants but also hand-drew a map of nearby attractions. These thoughtful, personalized touches transformed a routine stay into a heartfelt experience. At checkout, a carefully prepared gift and a handwritten note from May added the perfect sentimental farewell. Park Hyatt Ningbo redefines luxury through details—not in opulent extravagance, but in the artful fusion of cultural heritage, intuitive service, and refined design. Here, every corner whispers a Jiangnan tale, and every gesture carries genuine warmth. As Dongqian Lake’s waves continue to ripple, the memories woven by this retreat linger, promising our return to this lakeside haven. Also special thanks to Judy Dai and Brown Wang as well. 😊

The hotel has a fantastic and scenic view on the Dongqian Lake and is offering all service to just stay there and enjoy. The gym and the indoor pool area are amazing. The rental bikes at the hotel are high quality. The service is super friendly and was always helpful. Thank you.

Beautiful scenic location and aesthetic spacious facility. Upon arrival the doorman did not greet nor escort us so we had to carry our bags and find our way to the reception. The receptionist were friendly and were happy to oblige when we asked for restaurant recommendations in the city. However, upon check-in, once again we were left on our own accord to find our way to our room, caring our bags (no instructions on how to or guidance to our room). Being a resort, I was surprised when the life guard told me a swimming cap was needed in order to use the pool. This rule was made aware to me only after having entered the pool. A little heads up on the website or during check-in about swimming cap requirements would have been appreciated. Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a steam sauna and jacuzzi in the men’s locker room, something which I do not remember seeing in the facility description online. Unfortunately, it felt like the general hygiene upkeep was not up to standard. For instance, despite being there at seven, first thing in the morning, the floor and showers had a lot of hair. I also decided to not use the men’s jacuzzi as there was visible scum/oil on the surface of the water. Breakfast was lovely with ample variety of western and Chinese foods. Not sure if my experience was as such due to it being an off-season. This place has potential.

Beautiful hotel with finely designed, spacious rooms. The swimming pool is very nice and the hotel is overlooking the lake in a beautiful scenary.

Wonderful hotel, room was beautiful and incredibly spacious and the staff were accommodating and most spoke English too.

nice view and good in design

Very pretty location next to the lake with great view over the lake, especially from my room. Disappointing is the food and service in the la card restaurant, food takes very long and the taste is just soso for a high price. Also the breakfast service on Sunday is very slow, a lot of food is out and it takes very long to gets replaced. Better is the tea house, they are much more attentive in the service

Stayed in the hotel for two nights. We would like to note the high level of service. Clean and quiet room, air conditioner, bath. All questions were answered, at the reception there are lovely young ladies who speak excellent English. Fresh, tasty buffet breakfast, fragrant coffee. We were very satisfied with our stay at the hotel. We sincerely thank the hotel administration.

Really impressive hotel with beautiful room and park. Unfortunately lot of facilities were closed because of covid19. Nevertheless, buffet is amazing and great service for the team.

Top in terms of location, facilities, staff friendliness and room standards. Zero stars for the quality of the dining experience, I'm afraid. Mediocre local dishes hopelessly overpriced and way below average by Ningbonese standards. Could have gone to Hanling village down the road or a bit further into Yinzhou for the same or similar dishes at a tenth of the price (and better quality). We felt it was quite an insult and if it hadn't been rather late and we hadn't been starving, we would have gotten up again and jumped in a Didi. My workplace canteen offers similar local dishes at less than 10 kuai/dish (ok, not a valid comparison, I must admit, but even the most expensive local restos don't charge more than 50 kuai either and provide bigger size portions and tastier). The portions were tiny and starters were priced on average at 100+ kuai while the mains, the size of starters, were on average 220+ kuai. Hardly reasonable for some seasonal veggies and 10 tiny rubbery beef cubes. The white wine hadn't been cooled (happens all the time but kinda unexpected if you pay 4,000 kuai a night for a resort in one of Ningbo's prime locations) and it was a cheap bottle priced at nearly 80 kuai a glass. Having stayed in a variety of luxury lakeside venues across Zhejiang over the years, we were pretty taken aback. For me it was the worst value for money food experience during my entire time in China. We loved our suite, the fitness facilities as well as the architecture of the entire resort though. The service was pretty professional and friendly even though hardly anyone speaks English which is surprising given that this place is regularly frequented by non-Chinese speakers from the local areas nearby (and we saw plenty of those for lunch). Also, in comparison to similar properties across Ningbo and Zhejiang, the breakfast was the worst also. Never mind the continental and English style brekkies (sometimes difficult to get right, we get that), even the Chinese dishes were mediocre (such as the soups, fried items etc) which was surprising. Should we return (we practically live down the road), we'll not spend a single penny on food in this place.

Second stay the the Park Hyatt Ningbo. Great location, cleanliness, service, and facilities overall. However, the rooms are beginning to show their age (curtains, floors); Chinese Restaurant is terrific; Buffet breakfast is decent but the coffee could be improved.

Location is amazing, and the service is good. Unfortunately at the time we been there it was very crowded. But we would definitely recommend!
