In Jiande, Hangzhou, there is a hotel hidden deep in the mountains and rivers that can only be reached by boat. While traveling here, it is like being in a painting, with beautiful scenery rotating throughout the four seasons. It can be called a "fairyland on earth." Guests who have been here seem to transform into "poets," leaving behind comments. Perhaps only in the secret places of Jiangnan can you find such charm. This is the Hangzhou Fuchun Fangwai Hotel that I checked in to this time.
As a high-end secret hotel brand of the Delon Group, "Fangwai" is not ostentatious, but uses a low-key facade to hide among the mountains and rivers, taking "seclusion" to the core. The hotel is located on the bank of the beautiful Fuchun River, and took 2 years to build, covering an area of 50 mu with a construction area of 8,000 square meters.
In addition to its location, the sense of design is another highlight of the hotel. The hotel's design unit is the Landscape Architecture Design and Research Institute of the China Academy of Art. The design style revolves around ancient oriental philosophy and art, seamlessly integrating various traditional and modern elements to interpret the ethereal nature of Zen.
The hotel has a total of 63 villa-style rooms, ranging in size from 45–310㎡, with one- to four-bedroom options available. Each room also has a poetic and picturesque name that is close to nature: Mufeng, Yingzhu, Tingyu, Wangyun...
After completing the check-in, the butler will escort you to your room. The room is equipped with a welcome gift. The fruit plate is very sincere, not a simple traffic light. The minibar is free. What you see is what you get. The toiletries are small bottles of Lalebo33, which is so precious now. You know.
Tips
① Currently, the front area of the hotel lobby is being renovated, and the noise is relatively loud. Those who mind this should be cautious when visiting.
② The hotel has many activities, but many require reservations.
③ Because it is located in a remote area, dining is basically solved at the hotel, especially lunch, where choices are limited.
