5-Star Hotels in Jiaxing

Just an hour by high-speed train from Shanghai, Jiaxing offers a slower, water-town pace that feels a world away. The main draw is the ancient canal town of Wuzhen, a beautifully preserved network of stone bridges, wooden houses, and waterways where you can watch traditional dyeing workshops in action. History is central here, from the serene South Lake where the Communist Party of China was founded to the historic streets of Yuehe Old Town. It’s a city for savoring local flavors, like the famous *zongzi* from Wufangzhai, and for peaceful boat rides along its many canals.

For convenience, look for hotels near the Jiaxing South Railway Station for excellent high-speed rail links, or consider staying in the Nanhu district to be close to the lake and its museums. The city is well-suited for couples and history-minded solo travelers seeking a cultural day trip or a quiet weekend, while business travelers will find it a practical and less hectic base for the region. Getting around is straightforward with taxis and a reliable public bus system connecting the major sights.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 47 hotels in Jiaxing to choose from, with a strong selection of comfortable mid-range business hotels and a growing number of charming guesthouses in the older districts. Options range from reliable international chains near the transport hubs to more unique lodgings with traditional character in areas like Yuehe.
