The Xizi Hotel, Zhejiang: The Ultimate Romantic Experience in a Century-Old Villa

I finally checked in to this secluded paradise overlooking the West Lake! The stunning view of the lake from the window is absolutely captivating!

The Xizi Hotel is nestled in the heart of the West Lake Scenic Area. Its predecessor was "Wang Villa," one of the four famous villas of West Lake built in 1927. With 1,500 meters of private shoreline, it embraces the beauty of the lake and mountains. Strolling through it feels like stepping into the private garden of a wealthy family in Jiangnan, where every step is a picturesque scene.

The hotel covers a vast area, surrounded by lush vegetation. Multiple independent villas are hidden among the greenery, ensuring maximum privacy. It is adjacent to iconic attractions such as Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple, boasting a unique and advantageous location.

Guests can stay in Building 5, which offers excellent views. From the window, you can enjoy a panoramic view of West Lake, including iconic landmarks such as Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, and Leifeng Pagoda.
The moment you open the door, the entire West Lake unfolds before you like a painting. Sit on the outdoor terrace, brew a pot of tea, and watch the sparkling waves and leisurely boats. Time slows down. The rooms are fully equipped with Ferragamo toiletries, a mini-bar, and complimentary fruit, showcasing luxury in every detail.

The service here is impeccable, with attentive butler service throughout your stay and a concierge car always on standby. Stroll along the shoreline, feel the gentle breeze, and enjoy the utmost comfort.

The hotel's cuisine is equally amazing. The buffet restaurant offers high-quality food, the Yi Garden afternoon tea is exquisite, and the Chinese restaurant receives rave reviews. Advance reservations are recommended!

From a century-old villa to a luxury hotel, the Xizi Hotel perfectly embodies the fusion of classic and modern elements. Sleep in the closest place to West Lake and fall asleep to the sound of the lake waves. This unique stay is definitely a must-visit experience in Hangzhou!
