West Lake's Premier Garden | Hangzhou Xihu State Guesthouse

When visiting Hangzhou, the Hangzhou Xihu State Guesthouse is the top choice for accommodation! It's not just a place to stay but an unforgettable experience. Staying at the State Guesthouse allows you to enjoy not only the title of "West Lake's Premier Garden" but also the less crowded and stunningly beautiful West Lake scenic area, quietly savoring its exclusive tranquility and elegance. The Hangzhou Xihu State Guesthouse carries profound historical significance, with every corner seemingly whispering tales of the past. Staying here means stepping into history. The garden in the early morning is incredibly serene, with a fresh environment and lush greenery. You can follow the map on your room key to visit the main attractions along the way—though it’s a bit of a walk, totaling over 8,000 steps, truly worthy of its reputation as West Lake's Premier Garden. Dingjia Hill is neither high nor steep, taking just three to five minutes to climb. The air at the top is exceptionally fresh—no wonder Chairman Mao chose it as his reading spot. Note: The hotel's environment is impeccable, but on rainy days, the rooms can have a strong musty smell, and the facilities are quite outdated. At this price point, there should be better options. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. This hotel preserves the imperial garden style of the Southern Song Dynasty, with the shimmering beauty of West Lake and a pool of emerald water veiled in mist. The gardens are bordered by traditional Chinese corridors, with wooden eaves and bluish-gray stone slabs, exuding a restrained yet profound charm—like a true paradise on earth.
