Hotels With Pools in Zhejiang, China

An unexpectedly wonderful stay. The hotel's decor is incredibly luxurious. Even though it was renovated twelve years ago, it's been meticulously maintained. The lobby is grand and impressive, with an invaluable Persian jade screen that elevates the hotel's opulence. The rooms are also impeccably maintained. The automatic curtains and other amenities are all of high quality. The bedding was also flawless. The hotel is right next to the Taihu scenic area, and everything is excellent: from the hotel's own environment to the surrounding scenery, and the nearby dining and shopping options. The service and management are top-notch. Every staff member I encountered, whether directly involved with my stay or not, greeted me courteously. Our concierge, Lucy, was exceptionally professional, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous. From proactively introducing us to nearby attractions and hotel facilities to personally escorting us to our room, she made us feel truly at home. She deserves high praise.

The owner and front desk lady are very welcoming. They will contact you via WeChat prior few days of your check in to give you guidance on where to take the free boat ride. Free boat rides were provided during check in and check out. Very great experience to have such boat rides experience in this beautiful ancient town. Location is superb. Strongly recommend and definitely will come back again.

I always make it a point to visit Hangzhou every year, and seeing the lush greenery by West Lake is always such a beautiful sight! Even with the bustling crowds around West Lake, you can still find a sense of peace and tranquility here. The Xizi Hotel is definitely worth considering for your stay. **Room Facilities:** The dark, reddish-brown furniture gives the room a grand and elegant feel. Welcome fruits and local snacks are neatly arranged in compartments. The bathroom has both a shower and a bathtub, though overall, it feels a bit dated. **Value for Money:** The room rate is quite steep, but considering the hotel's stunning views, excellent service, and prime location, I still think it offers good value. **Breakfast:** The selection is incredibly rich and varied, and having breakfast right by West Lake is a lovely experience. There's a mix of Western and Chinese options, plus local Hangzhou specialties. You can definitely eat your fill, but it's best to go early, as after 9 am, you'll need to get a number and wait for a table. **Bed:** Just average. **Cleanliness:** We were initially given a room on the first floor which felt quite damp, and it seemed no one had stayed in it for a while. After discussing it with them, they moved us to a second-floor room, which had much better sunlight. **Parking:** They have a dedicated parking lot. **Room View:** Our room was quite far back, so the view was mostly of the mountain behind the hotel. **Location & Transportation:** The location is incredibly convenient. Leifeng Pagoda is right next door, and you can see its full panorama from the hotel. Across the street are Jingci Temple and Prince Bay Park. Bus 1314 stops right outside and goes directly to Lingyin Temple and other attractions. If you exit through the west gate, you're very close to 'Viewing Fish at Flower Pond'. We chose to take a boat from Majiawan Pier and explored Yuangu Bay, Turtle Pond, and Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon, experiencing a different side of West Lake. However, since the hotel is quite large, it's a bit of a walk to the main entrance. **Service:** The staff proactively shared information about the hotel with us – truly a testament to its renowned reputation. We interacted most with the shuttle bus drivers. When we mentioned it was our first time staying there, both the drivers and security guards enthusiastically told us about the hotel's features. A special shout-out to shuttle driver Xiao Mu, who waited patiently in the pouring rain for us to finish taking a night photo we wanted. There's also a building manager service for Building 2, responsible for managing the entire building, including check-in arrangements and turn-down service. The staff here are very thoughtful and attentive, and they even offered us some complimentary incense. **Swimming Pool:** There's a separate, heated indoor pool. **Gym:** The gym is located in a separate area. **Complimentary Activities:** 1. At 4 PM, a hotel guide takes guests on a tour of the entire hotel, providing explanations of sites like Pearl Spring and the G20 banquet hall (which isn't accessible outside of booked events, but it's very grand). We learned about the origins of the estate, saw the self-picking Longjing tea garden, and a quiet spot for playing music. The highlight was Building 1, offering a perfect view of Leifeng Pagoda and the building's harmonious composition. The tour lasts about 40 minutes. 2. A travel photography session. Each room receives five photos, which isn't really enough. If you want photo editing, it's an additional 5 RMB. Choosing more upscale costumes costs another 100 RMB. If you truly want some good photos, you might need to spend an extra 200 RMB or so. The photographer does guide you, but the pace felt very fast, and the overall shoot didn't feel very thorough, with the photos not being particularly outstanding. This is just my personal experience, though.

A great place for a weekend getaway! The service was excellent; they even helped us with our luggage to the room. A special thanks to Xiao Dong for their service. We were upgraded to a lake-view room, and the balcony offered a stunning view with quaint bridges and the lake. After settling in, we walked along Nanhu Lake to Nanhu Tiandi for dinner and stumbled upon a bread festival, which was a lovely surprise and we got some great finds. Back at the hotel, we found that turndown service had been provided. The next morning, after breakfast, we headed to Haogu Pagoda. I actually wanted to go there on the first afternoon, but we couldn't find the small back entrance, and neither could several other groups who came looking later. We eventually realized it was blocked by illegally parked cars. I hope the hotel can put up a sign there to explain this. After descending the pagoda, we took another stroll around the hotel grounds to enjoy the garden scenery before leaving. We skipped Yuehe and Zicheng, which were mentioned online, as we had to head back in the afternoon, and having been to Xitang, I didn't feel the need to visit another water town; once a year is enough for me. I actually prefer places like Nanhu Tiandi. Of course, for those with more time, it's worth exploring all these places.

Our stay was fantastic! Special thanks to Ms. Zhan at the front desk for her thoughtful service and help during check-in. She upgraded our room when possible and gave us recommendations for evening activities. What really stood out was when she offered us two warm, yes, warm walnut cookies – they were so comforting and delicious, like coming home, especially since we were a bit hungry! We extended our stay for another night, and Ms. Jia at the front desk was equally warm and attentive. The entire hotel, from its facilities to its soft services, feels grand and well-designed. The bedding is incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast and dinner buffets offer a wide variety of choices. I also appreciate their strong commitment to environmental protection, with trash cans that have ditched plastic bags – excellent!

Staying at Greentown Blue Bay Building 2 this time, which is in the same building as the Sheraton. I was stunned as soon as I swiped my room card and walked in! The lake outside the balcony was an unbelievable shade of blue, like a glowing sapphire. The sunlight sparkled on the water's surface. Sitting on the balcony, lost in thought, watching the layered distant mountains, time seemed to slow down. You absolutely must come on a sunny day; the photos are stunning straight out of the camera, no editing needed!

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Excellent Environment: Superb Service: Fantastic The hotel is located right in Jinhua city center, surrounded by skyscrapers, and not far from Shuanglong Cave, making it the perfect choice for accommodation. The breakfast is rich and varied, clean and hygienic. It offers great value for money, though the kids' play area is a bit small, only a reading corner, which could be improved.

For this trip to Yiwu, I chose the Shangri-La, which is super close and convenient to the International Trade City! As a long-standing five-star luxury hotel, the Shangri-La did not disappoint! The hotel's location is truly excellent. The Yiwu International Trade City is just across the road, and there's a shopping complex right downstairs with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options – super convenient! This time, I booked a one-bedroom executive suite, considering that my child could do homework at the desk in the living room – it was the perfect choice! Check-in was smooth and quick. The front desk staff, Evelyn, added me on WeChat and told me to contact her with any questions during my stay, which was very thoughtful! We ordered takeout several times during our stay. There's a fantastic selection of delicious takeout available around the hotel, so we couldn't resist indulging in some great food in our room at night. Each time, Evelyn kindly arranged for the robot to deliver our meals to the room, which was very considerate and convenient! I just messaged her directly for anything we needed replenished in the room, and she would immediately respond and arrange it! Five-star rating! The room was spacious, and the view from the high floor was absolutely stunning! Since it was an executive room, we also got to enjoy the executive privileges at the Horizon Club Lounge on the 37th floor. This stay was an excellent experience, and I'll definitely choose Shangri-La again if I have the chance to visit Yiwu!

Ella at the front desk provided incredibly warm, attentive, and highly efficient service! The room was spotlessly clean, fully equipped, and the bedding was very comfortable. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view from the window; overlooking the city lights at night was truly mesmerizing. It offers excellent value for money, and I will definitely choose to stay here again. Highly, highly recommend!

The room was clean and bright with a small courtyard, overall it was good. What you're paying for at this price is the external environment – the scenery is absolutely stunning! Truly beautiful and exclusive. Walking along the shore, you can see the Su Causeway, and in the distance, Leifeng Pagoda. Both days we were there, the lake had a slight misty haze, but the sky was still clear enough to see the distant views. I was so reluctant to leave when checking out. It's a fantastic place to visit with parents. Oh, and the hotel's interior is also absolutely gorgeous! We had dinner at the Chinese restaurant, and you can order a half portion of West Lake醋鱼 (vinegar fish), which was unexpectedly delicious! The other dishes were also very much to our taste! I especially loved the soy sauce duck and the drunken river shrimp – they were incredibly, incredibly good.
