Hangzhou Hotels with Bars

For my trip to Hangzhou in April, I specifically chose the Rose Garden Resort Hotel. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the scent of roses and a vibrant display of flowers throughout the courtyard garden. There were even peacocks roaming freely, interacting with guests and fanning their tails! The guest rooms weren't huge, but the overall decor was clean and pleasant. They provided a coffee capsule machine, eco-friendly bottled water, and complimentary bracelets, pastries, and fruit. The breakfast on the second day didn't have a wide variety, but the taste was quite good, and I especially loved the onsen egg – it was delicious! Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip. ❤️

Two nights, three days – I'd always heard that when it comes to hotels in Qiandao Lake, there's the InterContinental and then there's everything else. This trip really drove that point home. The drive from Wuxi to Qiandao Lake takes four hours. Since the InterContinental occupies its own island, having a car makes getting around much easier. The scenery along the Hangzhou Ring Expressway leading to Qiandao Lake is absolutely stunning, especially once you enter Qiandao Lake itself, with its myriad of winding islands and towering mountains. As soon as you exit the highway, you're practically in the mountains. The InterContinental's flags lining the mountain road gave a real 'welcome home' feeling. Driving with the windows down along the lake, you're enveloped in fresh, oxygen-rich air. Before even entering the hotel, I spotted the lighthouse and the Arc de Triomphe. The hotel lobby entrance is a beautiful photo op, a perfect blend of lake and sky. I stayed in a lake view room, and the view was absolutely breathtaking, overlooking Qiandao Lake. Add a Qiandao Lake beer, and my mood was instantly uplifted. The floor-to-ceiling windows had a sofa for enjoying the view. The room was spacious and very well-maintained. They even provided a crib for my child, which was reassuring. The toiletries were excellent, and the bathtub was perfect for a relaxing soak. I'd read many reviews about the dinner, and after trying it myself, I thought it was quite good. While the variety might not be extensive, it was definitely sufficient, and the taste was decent. For breakfast, I'd seen reviews mentioning long queues, but it's really just for registering your room number. Seating was quick, and the food was good. I recommend sitting by the window in the priority seating area, where you can see the infinity pool seamlessly blend with the Qiandao Lake scenery. Swan Lake offers animal feeding, but this area could definitely be improved. There were too few animals, and I suggest increasing the interactivity. The kids' club has different zones, but I think it could be even better. The space is quite large, and with better planning and layout, a more integrated approach could offer more movement options for kids, and improved climbing and ground-level activities. I highly recommend both the infinity pool and the indoor pool. My kids didn't want to leave! The pools have shallow and deep areas, catering to children of all ages. You can also rent or buy swimming gear at the hotel, which is very convenient. The scenery is stunning, and the water quality is excellent. Being a large hotel, it's perfect for an evening stroll, whether to the viewing platform, the lighthouse, or just along the lake – it's very relaxing. Renting an electric tour car for 120/hour is a great way to explore the mountains comfortably in the summer. The hotel offers many activities, such as children's themed events and morning guided hikes. It would be even better if they added more water activities or equipment. It's wonderful to slow down and relax on this tranquil island amidst a busy life. Finally, a special thank you to 'Butler Landy'. Landy's service was impeccable – attentive, thoughtful, and reliably efficient. She responded quickly and resolved any issues. I felt her genuine sincerity throughout, and the service experience was top-notch. If you stay here, you must find her!

The front desk service was excellent. The hotel's location is superb, just 50 meters from the subway station, making it very convenient to get around. The room was very comfortable and well-equipped. The front desk even helped upgrade my room, which made my stay very pleasant. Thumbs up!

We had an amazing stay here. The apartment is light, spacious and airy. The bed is huge and really comfortable and the shower and bathroom are also lovely. Having a kitchen with utensils, hob and microwave meant we could cook in the evenings which is a huge plus. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was varied and tasty with some western options, fresh noodles and omelettes, fresh fruits and salads, bread, cheese, pastries and amazing coffee and fresh juices. We used the pool several times (remember your swim caps!) and it was large and really nice for a swim. The location is great. It's close to the West Lake area. We walked there and back which was about 45mins each way, but it's also very easy to jump in a Didi to venture further around to see the Tiger Springs or Nine Creeks and Misty Forest areas which are really beautiful. The staff were very helpful. We arrived a little early and they checked us in straight away and very promptly answered all my questions. We asked for a late check-out and we were generously accommodated which was an added bonus. Oh - and the lobby and hotel smell amazing too! We will 100% stay here again when we return to Hanghzhou and would highly recommend it to other travellers if you'd like some luxury alongside home comforts.

Inspired by the poetic beauty of West Lake, encapsulated in the lines 'Shimmering waters delight on sunny days, misty mountains captivate in the rain,' our trip to Hangzhou was made even better by this hotel. Its location is a huge plus, making it incredibly convenient to get to Hubin Business District and West Lake, whether by taxi or bike. Check-in was efficient, and the staff were very friendly. When we requested a quieter room, they did their best to accommodate us. The room itself was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, and all facilities were well-maintained, with a consistent hot water supply. During our stay, every time we passed the front desk, we were greeted warmly. It wasn't forced small talk, but rather just the right level of service that made us feel very comfortable. This is a hotel that truly won me over with its attention to detail. It's not far from West Lake, so you can just stroll out to the lakeside for a pleasant post-dinner walk. When we arrived, it started to rain, and the front desk thoughtfully lent us umbrellas and briefly shared some tips on nearby dining and routes for exploring West Lake, without any hard selling. Housekeeping was meticulous; there was no dust on the tables, and the bathroom counter was wiped dry without any water stains – it's clear the cleaning staff are very thorough. Despite being in a bustling area, the room's soundproofing was excellent, so we weren't disturbed by outside noise at night. It was wonderful to return from sightseeing and relax comfortably. This hotel is definitely worth considering for anyone visiting West Lake.

I came back to stay at Hilton Qiandao Lake, and Luby very thoughtfully upgraded my room – I absolutely love it! 💕 ✨ I'll repurchase this infinitely! I adore Hilton Qiandao Lake; it's my top choice for a vacation here. 🌊 The location is absolutely stunning, nestled by the mountains and the lake, boasting exclusive, direct lake views. As soon as you step into the lobby, you're greeted by a panoramic view of the vast Qiandao Lake landscape through the floor-to-ceiling windows, instantly setting a magnificent atmosphere. I stayed in a lake-view room, and opening the balcony door revealed the entire lake. Waking up to the lake view in the morning and watching the sunset in the evening – every single moment felt like a healing landscape painting. The hotel's grounds are expansive with lush greenery, like a natural oxygen bar. It even has its own water park and swimming pool, so you can leisurely spend an entire day at the hotel without needing to go out. It's especially perfect for a family relaxing getaway. The breakfast selection is abundant and fresh, with a rich variety of flavors. You can enjoy your meal while admiring the lake view. The staff are gentle, attentive, and meticulous; check-in was smooth, and any requests were promptly addressed. At night, the garden lighting creates a wonderful ambiance, and a stroll with the lake breeze is exceptionally pleasant. This stay was perfect; I've fallen deeply in love with it and will choose Hilton again next time I visit Qiandao Lake! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, 'lie-flat' vacation!

My stay was absolutely fantastic! The staff were incredibly dedicated and their service was meticulous and thoughtful throughout. The room was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bedding was so comfortable I slept soundly. The environment was quiet and pleasant, and the location was very convenient. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. I'll definitely choose this place again for my next stay!

I wanted to take my kids on a summer vacation but didn't want anything too strenuous, so I chose this Club Med. I heard it's an all-inclusive resort perfect for younger children, though maybe not so much for those over 10. I booked a two-night hotel pre-sale package through Ctrip (including breakfast and tickets to either Xixi Wetland or Lingshan Fantasy), with a 400 RMB surcharge for weekend bookings. The hotel called the day before to confirm and said they'd add my WeChat for future communication, but they never did. They also didn't mention adding a butler service during check-in, which is something other hotels do better. The hotel looks quite new and spacious, with most activities located on the basement level. For a hotel with a higher price point that prides itself on all-inclusive services, I was surprised to find that many entertainment options and parent-child activities required additional fees, and they weren't cheap either. This was a bit disappointing. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there's a mini-show, and on Sunday evening, there's a Chashan Qing performance. The shows make the evenings pass quickly. During the day, we mainly rested in the room and occasionally visited the mini water park, where the kids had fun in the water. The indoor children's playground is quite small and suitable for very young children; older kids won't find it very engaging. On the first day, we didn't want to go out for dinner, so we chose the hotel's Chinese restaurant for lunch. The dishes were mediocre, the portions were small, and the prices were not cheap. For dinner, we opted for the hotel buffet. The weekend prices were higher than weekdays, costing 328 RMB per adult and 218 RMB per child over 4 years old. The prices were a bit high. For the buffet, children are charged by age, not height. What can a child under 120cm really eat? The variety of dishes was also quite limited. For example, there was only one spicy flavor of crayfish, and the other dishes were just so-so. The mark-up felt excessive. For adults and children who don't eat sashimi and such, the value for money was very low. Since my child can't eat raw food, they pretty much only had some vermicelli soup at the buffet. The evening amusement park games were also very perfunctory; I didn't feel like playing at all. When I finally found a craft activity and sat down to try it, a staff member immediately came over with a POS machine, ready to charge me. 😂

An unforgettable luxury wellness retreat. I discovered Xixi Xin Hotel while searching for a peaceful escape, and it exceeded every expectation. The architecture is breathtaking, blending traditional Chinese culture with modern luxury in a way that feels elegant, authentic and incredibly calming. The attention to detail throughout the property is exceptional. The suites are beautifully designed with natural, eco-friendly materials that create an instantly grounding atmosphere. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a Marshall speaker with a curated selection of nature sounds—waves, birds, rustling leaves and crackling fire—setting the tone for complete relaxation. The bathroom is equally impressive, with beautiful curtains opening to a soaking spa prepared daily with fresh rose petals and natural bath salts. Thoughtful touches such as soft linen loungewear and complimentary disposable swimwear made the experience feel effortlessly luxurious. Service is truly five-star. Each suite is assigned a personal butler who is attentive, responsive and genuinely committed to making your stay effortless. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the hospitality was warm, personal and sincere. I was initially hesitant about the vegetarian restaurant, but it was one of the highlights of my stay. The dishes were nutritious, beautifully presented and worthy of fine dining, while still being surprisingly filling. For those who prefer meat, there are also excellent restaurants nearby. The wellness program is outstanding, with daily yoga, Tai Chi, sound baths, traditional Chinese medicine consultations and other healing experiences. Classes run for around an hour and are led by knowledgeable instructors who genuinely care about your wellbeing, creating a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. With only around 8–10 suites, the hotel remains wonderfully quiet and intimate, allowing guests to completely disconnect from the outside world. After just three nights, I left feeling genuinely relaxed, grounded and restored. A rare hidden gem that combines exceptional architecture, thoughtful design, impeccable service and meaningful wellness experiences. If you’re looking for a peaceful five-star retreat focused on luxury, wellness and tranquillity, I couldn’t recommend Xixi Xin Hotel more highly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Minor drawbacks: The hotel is indeed a bit old; the floors creak a bit, but otherwise it's okay. The upstairs hallways and public areas were a bit stuffy. The room overall was a bit small, but it's understandable given its prime location by West Lake, where every inch is precious. The food at the Guest House restaurant was just average, with limited options. Pros: The service was excellent, and the location is superb. The view from the Guest House on the top floor is unbeatable. The front desk staff quickly helped resolve an issue. Overall, I was quite satisfied and would consider staying here again.
