Romantic Hotels in Zhejiang, China

My stay at Xitang Yuyaxuan's 180-degree river view room was absolutely perfect, completely fulfilling all my imaginings of a Jiangnan water town. The room's floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony framed the misty promenade and the gurgling river into a living painting. I slept beside the water, watching the morning mist drift over the stone bridges and black-awning boats cut through the dawn light. In the evening, I admired the setting sun painting the corridor roofs red and lanterns gradually illuminating like stars – truly ”living within the scenery.” The guest room itself was also incredibly charming, cleverly converted from an ancient Ming and Qing dynasty residence. The interior retained the elegant antiquity of wooden beams and carved windows, yet was equipped with modern comforts, showcasing a strong sense of design. Lying on the soft bed, with the gentle sound of sculling oars in the background, even my dreams were imbued with the warmth of the water town. This is undoubtedly an excellent place to experience the essence of Xitang, and I highly recommend it to every traveler seeking tranquility and beautiful views.

I originally saw a recommendation for this hotel on Xiaohongshu, so I booked Shaoxing Hotel for my trip to Shaoxing. Our stay completely exceeded our expectations, and we felt it was an excellent choice. First, the hotel is very large, with multiple buildings connected by covered walkways. The central courtyards are beautifully designed with either exotic rock formations and flowing water, or pavilions and pagodas, or even ponds with winding bridges – all perfect for photos. The room was spacious, and the bathroom facilities were well-equipped and convenient to use. The hotel's breakfast was also abundant and delicious. Getting to various attractions by taxi was very convenient, even more so than staying at some guesthouses or hotels directly within scenic spots. It was a wonderful stay, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Shaoxing.

This hotel is small but has everything you need. First off, it's clean and tidy. Secondly, all the basic services are available. Lastly, the location is excellent, making it convenient to get anywhere, and it's also quite close to the East Railway Station.

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations for this trip! From the moment we walked in, the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Check-in was quick, and they proactively explained the hotel's facilities and their locations, which made us feel very comfortable. The room's cleanliness was exceptional. The bedsheets and duvet were spotless and neatly made, the floors and tabletops were pristine, and there were no unpleasant odors in the bathroom's vanity or shower area. The attention to detail was impressive. The room had great natural light and good ventilation, so it never felt stuffy. The bed was just the right firmness, and the pillow height was perfect, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. The hotel's location is very convenient; it's just a few minutes' walk to the nearby commercial street, making dining and shopping incredibly easy. While the breakfast selection wasn't huge, it offered a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, with hot dishes, porridge, and pastries all available, and it tasted deliciously home-style. Even during check-out, the staff were very thoughtful. The entire stay was incredibly smooth, and it offered great value for money. Next time I visit this city, I will definitely choose this hotel again!

During the New Year's Day holiday, the hotel was swarming with guests. We arrived at 1 PM but couldn't check into our room until 3:30 PM. They initially said the room wasn't ready, but it turned out the direct drinking water system was broken, and maintenance staff were working on it. Even after we got into the room, it still wasn't fixed, so the hotel provided us with plenty of bottled water instead. The room facilities themselves were quite good. However, the hotel's exterior was very dirty and poorly maintained, which unfortunately detracted from the overall check-in experience. The hotel mattress was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bedding was also just right – not too thick, not too thin – so even with the air conditioning on, it felt pleasant. 👍 We went for breakfast past 8 AM and were surprised to find a very long queue. Luckily, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion. Improving service is key; while the hardware is good, the software (service) needs to be even better.

Our stay at Xizi Hotel definitely made our Hangzhou trip memorable. The service was impeccable. Our room in Building 5 wasn't brand new, but it wasn't outdated either. We booked a lake view room, which offered stunning night views and even a beautiful sunrise over West Lake in the morning. The breakfast was also fantastic; the Jiangnan-style options were right up our alley. The hotel grounds are serene and full of Jiangnan charm, with excellent facilities. I highly recommend taking part in the hotel's lake cruise, guided tour of the grounds, and travel photography activities – you won't regret it! The weather in Hangzhou in February was also lovely, and the hotel was a major highlight.

Visited Huzhou Giraffe Manor this winter and unlocked an amazing forest-themed travel photography experience! The light and shadow in the thousand-acre bamboo forest were incredibly atmospheric. The photographer was great at finding the best angles, capturing beautiful shots of the giraffe enclosure interactions and the scenery around the hot springs. The final photos turned out absolutely stunning. You can get up close with giraffes without freezing, and the indoor feeding experience was fantastic. The bonfire party was lively and cozy too. Our room was full of thoughtful touches, with complimentary fruit and a well-stocked mini-bar. Exploring the park with its adorable animal interactions and bamboo forest walks was all very enjoyable. Coming here in winter is perfect for both photography and sightseeing. The whole experience was incredibly comfortable and delightful!

Trip.com Select One City, One Room Experience | Hangzhou Xihu State Guest House – A Century of National Guest-Level Luxury Hidden by West Lake Participating in the Trip.com Select One City, One Room event this time, and staying at the Hangzhou Xihu State Guest House, known as the 'First Garden of West Lake,' the entire experience far exceeded expectations and truly became the highlight of my Hangzhou trip! This state guest house, renowned as the 'West Lake within West Lake,' boasts a century of historical heritage and the essence of Jiangnan garden design. Formerly private gardens like Liu Zhuang and Kang Zhuang from the late Qing Dynasty, it was masterfully designed by garden architect Dai Nianci. With three sides facing the lake and backed by Dingjia Mountain, it uniquely commands over 2,000 meters of West Lake shoreline. Within its 360,000 square meter grounds, winding corridors lead to secluded spots, and pavilions and waterside structures are artfully arranged. Every step reveals a breathtaking scene, embodying the ultimate in Chinese aesthetics. It even served as the state guest-level venue for hosting foreign heads of state during the G20 Hangzhou Summit. I initially thought the name 'Guest House' sounded rather modest, but upon checking in, I realized its luxurious quality and service standards are entirely comparable to, if not surpassing, ultra-five-star high-end hotels, especially in its historical depth and attention to detail. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was enveloped in thoughtful service. The front desk not only upgraded my room free of charge but also waived the extra bed fee and even gifted an additional breakfast. All these pleasant surprises felt completely natural, full of sincerity and consideration. The entire check-in process was seamless and efficient, from completing formalities to being escorted to my room, with no hassle or waiting. Opening the window revealed the magnificent scenery of West Lake, and the Chinese-style furnishings and exquisite details within the room made the stay feel even more distinguished. Regrettably, in my haste, I forgot to note down the names of the kind lady who assisted with my check-in and the duty manager, but their warmth and professionalism remain etched in my memory. Here, I extend my most sincere gratitude and highest respect to all the front desk staff on duty at 2 PM on January 30th, and to every member of the concierge team! It was your professionalism, enthusiasm, and meticulousness that made the warmth of this century-old state guest house even more moving, and made this West Lake trip exceptionally perfect. The serene luxury nestled amidst mountains and waters, combined with impeccable and attentive service, has become the most cherished memory of this trip. We've made a pact: until next time, we will certainly return for this warm century-spanning rendezvous!

This hotel offers incredible value for money! The room was huge, and the bed was incredibly comfortable – seriously, it's the first time I've ever been this impressed with a hotel bed. Plus, the mattress didn't have that annoying crinkly plastic sound. My little one took one look at it and didn't want to leave! The smart bathroom was fantastic, with two sinks, a large bathtub, and everything was spotless. The only minor issue was that the shower water was a bit too hot and hard to regulate. The location is excellent, and the beautiful tatami tea room on the first floor made me really wish I had time to sit down for a cup of tea. The staff were all gentle, friendly, and provided great service.

I came to Hangzhou for a concert and chose the InterContinental based on its proximity to Hangzhou East Railway Station, Olympic Sports Center, and West Lake. It turned out to be the right choice; the hotel's location is indeed very convenient. The hotel is directly accessible from Exit N2 of Citizen Center Station on Metro Line 4 and Line 7. The hotel lobby is very unique, with beautiful lantern decorations, creating a festive New Year atmosphere. The service is also outstanding. Staff members politely greet guests and proactively help with the elevator. When we arrived for check-in, someone immediately came over to assist us, which was a thoughtful detail that made a great impression. The breakfast is abundant, and the restaurant service is also excellent. The top-floor gym offers a great view of the river. The hotel is 15 years old, so it's a bit classic. The room even has an old stereo, which is a bit nostalgic (next time I might bring a CD to listen to). The room is spacious and well-maintained. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would choose the InterContinental again on my next visit to Hangzhou.
