Hangzhou West Lake Hidden Hotel

Who understands! This place healed me so much I didn’t want to leave 🍃 Stayed for two days, and I felt like I hit the "reset button," all my tense nerves completely relaxed~

📍The location is absolutely perfect! Right in the West Lake Scenic Area—Manjuelong halfway up the mountain 🌳 surrounded by forests, tea gardens, and greenery. Every breath is filled with the fresh scent of plants, it’s so refreshing for the lungs!

• 30 minutes by car from downtown Hangzhou 🚗, no traffic jams, super convenient!

• 10 minutes by car to West Lake/Lingyin Temple, very close to the attractions!

• 5 minutes by car to Longjing Tea Garden/Jiuxi Eighteen Streams/Hupao Park, a little spontaneous joy~

✅ The room’s style totally stole my heart! A mix of Japanese wabi-sabi and modern minimalism 🏠 The mountain view room has an amazing outlook, each window frames a moving painting! Lying in bed, you can see the layered mountain scenery, every snap is a mood-filled masterpiece~ The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, so comfy you don’t want to get up. The toiletries have natural essential oil scents, even showering becomes a pleasure! Heating in winter, air conditioning in summer, WiFi fast enough for streaming without buffering, staying here is just so comfortable 😌

✅ The public areas make me want to stay all day! A 400㎡ courtyard + garden 🌼

• On sunny days, bask in the sun and daydream in the yard, even the breeze feels warm ☀️

• On rainy days, sit in the glass room watching raindrops hit the leaves, the atmosphere is instantly elevated ☔️

• The café and tea room on the first floor are perfect for photos, my bestie photos are flooding my gallery 📸 I just can’t stop!

• The sunken seating area built around water 💦 Enjoy afternoon tea under the osmanthus tree shade, golden osmanthus petals fall on your shoulders in autumn, so romantic you want to stomp your feet~

✅ The service warms your heart! The housekeeper is super enthusiastic, handling luggage and giving directions all-in-one 🐉 You don’t have to worry about a thing, it feels like visiting a friend’s home, so comfortable. For social anxiety folks, the sense of security is maxed out, perfect for healing and relaxing~

✅ The food is also amazing! Breakfast is a nine-grid set meal 🍱 so exquisite you don’t want to eat it, coffee is rich, white fungus soup sweet and smooth, every bite is super satisfying! For late returns, there are night snacks and desserts, this level of thoughtfulness makes me want to stay forever 💖

✅ Tons to do nearby, no worries about having nothing to explore!

• Go boating on West Lake during the day, the lake breeze is so pleasant 🚣

• In the afternoon, pick tea at the tea garden 🌱 and experience the “tea farmer life,” fresh and fun~

• Take a stroll in Manjuelong at dusk, you might see pomegranate flowers and chestnut trees. When the osmanthus blooms in autumn, the whole alley smells intoxicating!

• Shuiluedong/Stone House Cave is a 5-minute walk away, explore the karst caves, few people and peaceful, perfect for zoning out~

• Jiuxi Yanshu is an 8-minute drive, step into the icy clear streams, surrounded by healing greenery 🍃 your eyes will be purified!
