Immerse Yourself in the Poetic Painting of Jiangnan, Encounter the Enchanting Moments of Xixi

In Hangzhou, there lies a hidden gem cherished by time—Banyan Tree Hangzhou Xixi. Nestled within the secret realm of Xixi Wetland, its white walls and black tiles harmonize with winding bridges and flowing water, unfolding like a poetic scroll where every inch exudes the gentle charm of Jiangnan.

Step into the hotel, and the lobby greets you with a mesmerizing blend of camphor wood carved screens and holographic lotus projections—an intense fusion of ancient Zen aesthetics and modern technology, delivering a poetic "sensory explosion." For a moment, it feels as though you’ve traveled a millennium back, stepping into an ink-wash painting of Jiangnan. In your room, the silk-embroidered "Ten Scenes of West Lake" on the bed canopy, with its delicate stitches and vivid imagery, makes you feel as if you could touch the shimmering ripples of the lake. Sink into the plush bedding, gently cocooned like a cloud, and drift into sweet dreams. The bathroom, adorned with luminous white marble, features an open-air soaking tub—a true highlight. As you relax in the warm water, you might spot egrets gliding gracefully across the water, adding to the serene bliss.

The hotel’s activities are equally captivating. The award-winning wetland spa offers the signature "Rain on Banana Leaves" treatment, where skilled therapists soothe your body and mind like the misty drizzle of Xixi. Don’t miss the complimentary Hanfu dressing experience, where stylists craft intricate Song Dynasty hairstyles, paired with props like oil-paper umbrellas and round fans, transporting you back to the elegance of ancient China. For a romantic twist, embark on a rowboat afternoon tea cruise—floating leisurely on the water with exquisite pastries, a picture-perfect moment bound to steal the spotlight on social media.

At dawn, set sail to watch cormorants fishing, embracing the rustic charm of waterside life. Families can borrow free children’s Hanfu and tiger-head hats, letting little ones dive into Song Dynasty culture. As night falls, the handmade lotus pastry turndown gift sweetens your dreams, infusing them with the fragrance of Xixi. With its picturesque beauty and serene luxury, isn’t Banyan Tree Hangzhou Xixi worth experiencing firsthand?
