Four Seasons Hangzhou, Hangzhou

Four Seasons Hangzhou lies on the banks of West Lake amid acres of landscaped gardens. A little gem, built in Jiang Nan style – pagoda roof pavilions, rows of red columns and traditional Chinese water gardens. It may seem quite understated at first glance, but step inside, and you are confronted by a dazzling interior that combines both Chinese and Western elements in a tour de force of contemporary design.

The accommodations at Four Seasons Hangzhou are appropriately restful, with wood- and silk-panelled walls complemented by subdued shades of dove gray, pale yellow and cream. As you would expect from Four Seasons, all contemporary amenities are provided, and the marble baths are peerlessly well-appointed and equipped with soaking tubs as well as walk-in showers. The public areas, however, are intended to amaze, and no expense seems to have been spared to create an overwhelming impression.

The spa at the Four Seasons, Hangzhou has 9 treatment rooms offering traditional Chinese and Asian therapies. There are two restaurants including Jin Sha, which specializes in Shanghainese and regional cuisine. In the hotel grounds are a mesmerizing flow of flower-rimmed footpaths, ponds, streams, bridges and glorious greenery of all kinds that you need to walk to get the full picture. Excursions include tours around the lake on traditional wooden boats, complete with a picnic lunch arranged by the hotel.
