As the ancient saying goes, “In the universe, there is heaven; on earth, there is Hangzhou.” Set along the banks of the fabled West Lake, our hotel is a tranquil enclave woven with ponds, courtyards surrounding picturesque Chinese gardens, willow trees and mist-covered lagoons. Wake to views of mountain peaks, ancient temples rising from the greenery or the very waters that have enchanted poets, explorers and emperors for centuries.
