[2025 Hangzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Sofitel Hangzhou Yingguan (Updated Feb)

A lovely staycation! located in Binjiang, just a. 5 minute drive from the river.This hotel has excellent rooms (we stayed at the King room), pool (check if it’s open- it was closed for cleaning when we stayed), great Happy Hour (we had a 3-4 course meal- no need to go out for dinner), and excel breakfast! the Happy Hour perk is a bonus if you pay for the membership (I think around 200rmb?) we got food and drinks which was unexpected and great. the room was spacious with a large bath and shower. they even left a note for our birthday. breakfast was excellent with western and local cuisine. Lots of roasted vegetables so if you’re vegan it’s nice. We definitely plan on coming back for staycations since you don’t even need to leave the hotel (they even have a spa and gym if you fancy it and other restaurants I believe). #staycation #hangzhou #binjiang

The Hangzhou Yingguan Sofitel Hotel's overall design attempts to avoid the stereotypical impression of traditional business hotels, with a sense of unspoken beauty. The lobby's high ceiling and spacious, bright interior feature Chinese-style wooden furniture and exquisite decorations, showcasing grandeur and elegance. The first-floor lobby is divided into a welcome area, a leisure area, and a business area. The leisure area has a coffee and wine bar, where guests can enjoy drinks while meeting or taking a break. The rooms are full of heartwarming details waiting to be discovered. The extra-wide sink provides consumers with a more comfortable washing space, regardless of the number of cosmetics or toiletries. The open-plan room structure offers a more spacious and pleasant living experience compared to traditional mid-range hotels. The hotel's dining is also commendable. The breakfast is rich and varied, with both traditional Chinese dishes and exquisite Western-style meals to satisfy my taste buds. The hotel's gym and laundry room allow guests to maintain their healthy exercise habits and wash their clothes during their trip. The hotel's thoughtfulness is reflected in every detail.

🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy, and the public areas were also kept clean. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: The hotel upgraded me to a corner suite on the 32nd floor, which is reserved for Accor members. The suite was spacious and well laid out. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a great view of the surrounding area. The bedroom was large and comfortable. The sofa and chairs were in a Chinese style. They weren't very soft, but they added a unique charm. 🛌Supplies/Facilities: The suite had Daqi Mountain Spring water, a Kohler washbasin, and a Hansgrohe shower. Both the guest and master bathrooms had electric toilets. The toothbrushes and toothpaste were soft and comfortable to use. The large Lanvin toiletries were standard and met my daily needs. The pool on the 5th floor was clean and well maintained. It was divided into a section for swimming lessons for children and a section for hotel guests. There was also a dry and wet sauna and a shower area. The water temperature was just right, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience. 💰Average Spend: Around CNY 200 per person. Great value for money. 💗Other Tips: The hotel is conveniently located. There is a subway station downstairs with direct access to West Lake, making it easy to get around. The hotel called me the night before check-in and added me on WeChat. The service was attentive. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. Even at a late hour (9:30 pm), there were still four staff members serving guests. They carefully explained the hotel facilities and the times and floors of the breakfast and lounge. The welcome gifts were generous, including Perrier, Evian, desserts, a variety of fruits, flower arrangements, and a specially prepared cake and decorations. The lounge is on the 34th floor. The afternoon tea was exquisite and delicious. There wasn't much, but the quality was high. Breakfast is on the 2nd floor. There was a wide variety of dishes, which changed every two days to suit different tastes. However, there were some shortcomings. Some facilities need to be updated, such as the master bathroom toilet and the smell. The washbasin parts fell off, which is normal wear and tear, but maintenance and replacement should be more frequent to improve the overall experience. Overall, the hotel has many advantages. The service was warm and attentive, especially for high-level members. The staff were polite and greeted me. The service was excellent for an Accor hotel. I hope the hotel can maintain its strengths and continue to improve.

Excellent hotel. Manager Manoel is a plus!

The hotel is located in the heart of the city, adjacent to the Binjiang Central Business District, close to the emerging business center of Hangzhou, Qianjiang Century City, and is the social center of the south bank of the Qiantang River. The hotel is simple and elegant, combining profound humanistic feelings and avant-garde French innovation, leading the wisdom of high-end French life with meticulous craftsmanship.

The waves surge across seven hundred miles, and the history flows through eight thousand years. This is the ancient land of Yue, born of water, this is the new Asian Games city, born of beauty, this is Xiaoshan, Hangzhou. Once again, we have embarked on a journey to Xiaoshan with our little treasure, Yunbao. ⭐️A perfect journey is incomplete without a commendable family-friendly hotel. This time, we have chosen to stay at the Sofitel Hangzhou Yingguan, a hotel that is highly suitable for family trips. 🏨【️Hotel Highlights】 ⭐️The hotel boasts a prime location, nestled on the southern bank of the Qiantang River, adjacent to the Binjiang business district, and just a few minutes' drive from the International Expo Center and the Olympic Sports Center. 🛏The rooms in the hotel are incredibly spacious and bright. We stayed in the Little Prince themed family room, located on the 29th floor. The room's design is inspired by the famous French fairy tale "The Little Prince". Many elements in the room are Little Prince co-branded, including the Little Prince's bed sheets, pillowcases, towels, bath products... As it is a family room, thoughtful preparations have been made such as a children's tent, children's desk, children's toilet seat, and more, which Yunbao absolutely adores. As the first luxury hotel in this area, both the hardware and software of the rooms are excellent, featuring a French romantic design style. The room is fully equipped with a children's bed, electric curtains, separate wet and dry areas, and ironing equipment. 🍽️Carousel All-Day Dining Restaurant - Children's Day Themed Buffet Dinner One of the reasons we chose this place was for the Children's Day themed buffet dinner, which Yunbao had been looking forward to for a long time! The restaurant's ambiance is warm and vibrant, and there is a children's play area at the entrance, perfect for little ones to play after eating. Upon entering the restaurant, Yunbao was immediately attracted by the animal-shaped desserts in the dessert area, such as giraffes🦒, hens🐔, caterpillars🐛... These are indeed the cutest desserts we have ever seen. In addition to desserts, there are Yunbao's favorite ice cream and cotton candy. Yunbao, who was not feeling well, immediately perked up! Apart from the food that Yunbao loves, we also tasted many delicacies here, such as the authentic French red wine🍷, baguettes🥖, delicious roast duck, smoky barbecue, and the seasonal must-have crayfish... 👍In summary, this trip was very enjoyable. The Sofitel Hangzhou Yingguan is a highly suitable hotel for family trips. When leaving, Yunbao even said that we should come here again next time. #High-end hotels you'll only understand after staying #Child-friendly restaurants kids love #Children's Day #Family-friendly hotels kids love to visit #Laid-back parenting tips.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Sofitel Hangzhou on a business trip to Hangzhou. The front desk arranged for a high floor with a good view. The room service is very timely and in place, able to respond to needs in a timely manner. The breakfast selection is also very varied and tastes great. I highly recommend this hotel for business travel!
