Hotels With Bar in Zhejiang, China

Stepping into the lobby of Shaoxing Hotel, I finally understood what it means to find luxury 'hidden' in Jiangnan. It’s not the ostentatious, gilded kind, but rather white walls and dark tiles, winding paths leading to private courtyards, like a meticulously preserved Jiangnan garden. Passing through moon gates, circling around rockeries and ponds, Fushan Mountain is just a stone's throw away, with lush tree shadows stretching right to the windows. The front desk didn't hand me a room card, but a heavy brass key tied with a silk ribbon, feeling as if it could unlock the gates of some ancient mansion. The elevator walls were adorned with ink paintings, local masters' renditions of Shen Garden – the willow branches in the painting still drooped, as if you could hear the sighs of Lu You and Tang Wan. Suddenly, I realized that a five-star rating isn't displayed on a wall; it's hidden in the details – the weight of that brass key, the warmth of a handwritten note, the uncontainable pride in the tea master's eyes when talking about tea. The next morning, I was woken by birdsong. Pulling back the curtains, an old man was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, each movement slow, much like the pace of this city. Breakfast was at the buffet, and beyond the Western options, there was a dedicated Shaoxing snack station – freshly fried stinky tofu, freshly wrapped ai jiao dumplings, and freshly cooked Ciwu Dajian noodles. The chef, a local auntie, muttered as she cooked, “The broth needs to be ample, the noodles firm, and the toppings freshly stir-fried for the best aroma.” When leaving, the front desk asked if my stay was enjoyable. I said it was excellent. Even after driving a long way, I looked back and could still faintly see the white walls of Shaoxing Hotel standing amidst the tree shadows. It’s not flashy, not showy, just like this city – reserving its best for those willing to slow down.

This hotel stay truly exceeded my expectations! Not only were the views from the window stunning and pleasant, but the service was also incredibly thoughtful and memorable. From the warm and attentive check-in at the front desk, to the housekeeping staff who promptly responded to requests and kept the room spotless during my stay, even the restaurant staff were meticulous, proactively recommending dishes and refilling tea and water. The entire experience was top-notch, and I will definitely choose this place again for my next trip!

Chose to stay at the Sheraton Huzhou Taihu Lake, and it was a wonderful experience with beautiful views and a pleasant environment, perfect for a relaxing family trip. We had butler service, and our butler was incredibly attentive, following up on every detail. The service was impeccable, really top-notch! The room was very clean with excellent attention to detail, and the facilities were complete and in great condition. Highly recommend!

Huzhou Giraffe Manor Hotel is, without a doubt, a fantastic place for kids. It has two main highlights: 1. You can find various small animals everywhere and interact with them up close, which is really fun. 2. During breakfast, you can get close to the giraffes and even feed them while you eat. My child absolutely loved it! However, if you're visiting on a weekend, try to get to the restaurant before 8 AM for breakfast. Otherwise, all the seats near the giraffes will be taken, and people won't want to leave – and who can blame them, haha! Now for a few drawbacks, mainly concerning the room facilities: 1. We stayed in a wooden cabin, and there was a persistent odor in the bathroom. I'd suggest the hotel place some air fresheners in the bathrooms, as the smell wasn't pleasant. 2. When the air conditioning was first turned on, there was a musty smell. It would dissipate after a short while, but we had to open the door to air it out. The downside was that opening the door let in mosquitoes, which was a dilemma. 3. Speaking of mosquitoes, they can be quite a problem during the warmer months.

The room was quite clean and quiet, and the view from the window was the Public Security Bureau, which gave a great sense of security. The second-floor platform is perfect for photos, especially at night when the lights are on. It's also very close to the exit of the pedestrian street. The hotel even helped us buy tickets, and we could freely enter and exit until 5 AM the next day. When the hairdryer broke, they quickly sent someone to fix it. We were so tired on the first day that we slept until almost check-out time around 11 AM, but when we asked if we could extend our stay, they let us check out at 2 PM. This hotel is really good!

I'm not sure if it's because I booked through Trip.com, but I always get rooms at the very end of the hall. This time, I was even placed right next to the restaurant. From 5 AM, I could hear the clanging of dishes and then the chatter of people coming in for breakfast. I didn't get any good rest. I also forgot some pastries I bought from the mini-fridge in my room, and the front desk didn't call to ask if I still needed them. They mentioned a 'small surprise' upon check-out, but I wasn't offered one, nor did I ask. Pros: The staff member who helped with my luggage was really nice and proactive. The hotel's location is excellent, with a shuttle stop right outside and very close to the main street, which is super convenient. The dining environment is also beautiful.

The room was cozy, and the front desk staff were very kind and gentle. The hotel's location is excellent and super convenient. We were charged an extra fee for bringing a pet, but the front desk gave us a discount, which was nice. Overall, it was a great stay, and I'll definitely come back next time. Very satisfied!

Excellent! The room was spotless and spacious, making for a very comfortable stay. The service was also top-notch. The computer provided was incredibly responsive and smooth to use, with fast internet, good specifications, and excellent keyboard and mouse. The screen was also perfectly clear. I'll definitely be returning!

Let's start with the issues: The package stated that the mini bar was free for the first round, but the fridge cabinet in the room was locked. The bedding felt a bit damp. The shampoo and shower gel had a slightly cheap, artificial fragrance. Now for the positives: The guesthouse's location is close to the scenic area's exit, making it convenient for getting around. The facilities are complete, and I was surprised to find a water dispenser with direct drinking water. Plus, there was a switch on the stainless steel rack – was it for heating? That's a thoughtful touch. The breakfast selection was also plentiful.

The Hotel was absolutely gorgeous. All staff from the beginning extremely helpful and supportive. Starting with the smart check in person Nishant who speaks wonderful English, going on with the nice room service ladies to all people serving breakfast, the lovely chef from Xian with his great dishes. The room is spacious with a great view to the lights of the close amusement places and wonderfully illuminated bridges. We would certainly come back and enjoy life at the Marriott Taizhou. Once you are in Taizhou please don't miss the yellow caves 黄岩石窟. People at the hotel will tell you how to get there . Marvelous and unforgettable experience!! True for Hotel and yellow caves!!! Thanks!
