Hangzhou: Timeless scenery meets contemporary stays

The Wenlan Hotel Northern Hangzhou is a chic and contemporary hotel in a storied district of the city.

The capital of China’s Zhejiang province is best recognised by one of its most scenic attractions, the serene and photogenic West Lake – a timeless freshwater beauty that’s inspired artists and poets throughout the centuries. But this bustling metropolis also surprises with its dynamic mix of heritage areas, business districts, and shopping enclaves.

The ideal homebase for a full week of activities is none other than the Wenlan Hotel Northern Hangzhou, a new WorldHotels Elite member, and the brand’s second property in the sprawling megacity. The 295-key hotel is ideal for both business and leisure travellers, thanks to a strategic location – the hotel is a five-minute walk from shopping and dining areas, museums and the Grand Canal, a waterway that runs through the whole province, all the way to Beijing. 

The hotel itself is something to behold, with a grand lobby, several dining outlets – including a fine-dining restaurant on the 25th floor that serves elevated Chinese cuisine along with panoramic views of the city – and stylish rooms and suites.
