Encounter the most beautiful shade of blue on the Qiantang River!
The Azure Qiantang, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hangzhou, is a luxury brand under Marriott, on par with The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis. It boasts a prime location on the banks of the Qiantang River, adjacent to Qianjiang New City, MixC, and Raffles City. With convenient transportation, it is 8 km from West Lake, 10 km from Hangzhou East Railway Station, and less than 30 minutes from the airport.
Designed by world-renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, the hotel uses blue as its main color to recreate the stunning scene described by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi in his poem "Remembering Jiangnan": "The river flowers bloom redder than fire in the sunrise, and the river water turns greener than blue in spring." With a modern and trendy glass tower exterior, stepping into the hotel lobby feels like entering an elegant European palace.
The large embroidered backdrop behind the lobby reception desk, featuring the osmanthus flower, the city flower of Hangzhou, is full of Jiangnan charm. The process of walking from the lobby to the guest rooms is also enjoyable, with artistic ornaments, exquisite murals, and fragrant flowers accompanying you along the way.
This time, I stayed in the Jiangjing Deluxe Suite, which is quite spacious! Dreamy and beautiful, with an explosive sense of luxury, it is like a dreamy, ethereal blue dream. Enjoy the sunset and neon lights, admire the green river water in spring, and enjoy the spectacular Qiantang River view through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, overlooking the world's largest tidal bore. As night falls and the lights twinkle, you can lie in bed and enjoy the light show on both sides of the Qiantang River. The bathtub and washstand are set by the floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can bathe while enjoying the river view. Just thinking about it is amazing! Dyson hair dryer, Bryedo toiletries, capsule coffee machine, B&W Bluetooth speaker... the configurations are all top-notch!
It is especially worth mentioning that the living room sofa in this room type can also be converted into a bed.
You must not miss its 240-square-meter super-large indoor constant temperature swimming pool! It introduces the beautiful scenery of the garden and uses "blue sky and white clouds" as the background for the ceiling, so you can enjoy swimming "under the blue sky". The 24-hour gym has a full range of equipment. If you are traveling with children, you can also let them play to their heart's content in the ball pit!
The Jing'an Sign Restaurant has a unique river-view terrace. The breakfast brought me a lot of surprises. Everything you want to eat is available, and the quality of the products is also quite high!
