Boutique Hotels in Hangzhou — What to Expect
Often called China's "paradise on earth," this city is defined by the serene West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site where willow trees brush the water's edge. Visitors spend days exploring its causeways, pagodas like Leifeng, and the surrounding tea plantations of Longjing Village. The historic Hefang Street offers a taste of old Hangzhou with its traditional shops and snacks, while the modern Qianjiang New City dazzles with its nightly light show over the Qiantang River.
For first-time visitors, staying near West Lake puts you within walking distance of its gardens and boat tours, perfect for couples and leisure travelers. Families might prefer the quieter, greener areas around the Botanical Garden. The city is well-connected, with a major high-speed rail station and an efficient metro system making it easy to reach from Shanghai in under an hour, and it's a popular choice for both business and cultural trips.
On HOTEVI, you'll find 229 places to stay in Hangzhou, ranging from lakeside luxury resorts with stunning views to charming boutique hotels in converted traditional buildings. There are also numerous well-priced business hotels in the commercial districts and a selection of friendly hostels for solo explorers.
