“Lovely place for rest, relaxation and a comfortable resort with plenty of ways to be on your own”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

Happened to select this by chance due to the requirement of a quiet friendly place for relaxation and rest. Was greatly relieved that the choice was upto the expected objectives. Checked-in around midnight for two days stay.....staff were ready with my bookings, an upgrade, a lake-view room that was earlier misplaced due the upgrade was immediately corrected to an upgraded lake view room...all in just a few minutes! Room was big, clean, beds very comfortable in stark contrast to many other Crowne Plaza hotels, very good toiletries with the exception of the blunt shaving razor, as it seems to the blunt tradition of all crowne plaza hotels, good care of the bell boy, housekeeping staff, the club lounge custodian, etc. hotel has got a good swimming pool, fitness center nearby the club buildings. being a resort the rooms are to be first found like walking through a crystal maze! Breakfast was ok...no great international cuisine but food was go good quality and tasteful. The hotel has some convenient shuttles to the west lake, but could have had a couple more in the mornings too. There were not in vision anyone who commands a small army of the people who work here, sometimes that is visible with minor glitches in the quality of service and work here and here. Hotel gives bicycles on a two hour hiking around or free...a free tennis court usage, which I did not use. Staff are so oriented to the needs of the guests that I was enquiring at awe the fruits hanging in front of the hotel on the many trees and to my surprise I found one plucked and put on my table n the room when I returned back! Very intelligent guys, I could see. Kudos. In all, a property not much patronized but for sure a great wonderful lake view with a lot of birds giving u a more relaxed feeling than any other it's based hotels.

Room Tip: Choose rooms closer to the lakes and preferably third or fourth floor for better views.

“Pleasant Stay in City of Gardens”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

Older hotel with many modern conveniences. Room furnished with beautiful "dark cherry" furnishings. Modern, western-style bathroom. Plenty of hot water for shaving and bathing, and bottle water furnished free for making tea in room. No problems with electrical or internet service. "Best" breakfast in buffet-style, offering wide selection of oriental and western food. Easy to eat quickly and get on about business. Conference center bright and efficient. All staff very helpful and friendly. Quick about duties.

This is a very pleasant place to stay as it has a beautiful view of Xianghu Lake framed by mountains. An early morning walk on hotel grounds to view gardens, swans, and geese is recommended for a peaceful start to the day. I found it very calming, in contrast to the tourist activity at West Lake.

Hangzhou is one of the most beautiful cities in China, with the absolute latest fashion and convenience as shown in the "Sun and Moon" architecture and the new mall. It's gardens and lakes are fabulous, and I heartily recommend a visit to a tea plantation for a better understanding of the methods and value of Chinese teas.

One small thing. I would have preferred slightly lighter color carpet in the halls and rooms, as it gave the impression of being a bit too dark in those areas at night and during foggy days, suggesting perhaps not being cleaned well. But that was only a personal thing, and I found the room to be spotless.

Room Tip: This is a resort area. 2nd floor Executive wing was quieter.

“Quiet retreat after hectic Beijing and before hectic Shanghai”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Our tour group flew from Beijing and came here before going to Shanghai. It was a welcomed day of slower pace. The hotel is picturesque with the swans and ducks floating by and fireworks at night. Breakfast was very good. The next day we went to the tea plantation and saw the highlights of the town and the new projects on which they are working to change the downtown area.

Room Tip: We were at the "0" building right on the water and the view was most pleasant

“Loved, loved, loved this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We were on a tour the week of 10/21. This was our third stop. This resort was gorgeous. The room was extremely elegant and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice, the view from the dining room was lovely. The hotel was quiet, clean, well appointed. The grounds were flawless and looked so relaxing. This was a quick stop so we never got to completely explore this hotel, but what we saw was extremely pleasing.
