Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou

Top choice in Hangzhou


More of a resort than a hotel, the fabulous 78-room, two-pool Four Seasons enjoys a seductive position in lush grounds next to West Lake. Low-rise buildings and three private villas echo traditional China, a sensation amplified by the osmanthus trees, ornamental shrubs, ponds and general tranquillity.

Gorgeous, very spacious ground-floor deluxe premier rooms have access to a garden; rooms have lovely bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes and hugely inviting beds. The infinity pool alongside West Lake is a dream, as is the outstanding spa. Staff are welcoming and helpful.
