The legendary villa by the West Lake, Hangzhou Qiushui Villa Hotel!

The legendary villa by the West Lake, Hangzhou Qiushui Villa Hotel! In spring, the banks are adorned with peach and willow trees; in summer, the lotus flowers are cherished; in autumn, the moon shines over the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon; in winter, the Broken Bridge is beautifully decorated. Within the poetic and picturesque Qiushui Villa, open the window to view the West Lake and leisurely embrace the four seasons. Known as the 'white moonlight' in the hearts of Hangzhou residents and dubbed 'Hangzhou's nouveau riche,' Qiushui Villa is the first high-end, luxurious hotel brand created by Hangzhou's century-old Xinxin Hotel, and it is also the third member of SLH in Hangzhou. Qiushui Villa's resounding title, standing out in the 'paradise on earth' of Hangzhou and becoming the ceiling of Hangzhou's hotels, is a testament to its profound cultural heritage. The original design and construction of Qiushui Villa in 1932 drew heavily from the ambiance of the Grand View Garden in 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' and the Chinese gardening techniques used have been largely preserved. The elegant and tranquil courtyards, rockeries, corridors, carved beams, red-painted windows, and bluestone columns are winding and spacious. One can sit on the rocks to listen to the spring or lean on the railing to admire the flowers. This historic protected building, while retaining its original structure, steps, windows, and floors, has been given a new lease on life with a more modern and fashionable mix of soft furnishings. The hotel currently has eight lakeside suites open to the public, each with a unique design theme and cultural connotation, enveloping you with numerous antiques to experience the poetic lifestyle of the literati of the Jiangnan region. In addition to the Double Qing Terrace and Wenqin Pavilion of the owner Shen Qiushui, there are also themed rooms such as Feng Zikai's Lakeside Residence, Li Shutong's Late Sunshine Room, Nan Huaijin's Zen Buddha Affinity, Eileen Chang's Rose Love, Xu Zhimo's Cambridge Romance, and Hu Shi's Memory of Clouds and Twilight, each worth savoring and reminiscing. Situated in the most beautiful landscape garden, enjoy a 180-degree view of the West Lake. Dining on Western cuisine in a Republican-era building is also a unique taste experience. The Lonely Cloud French Restaurant specializes in French set menus for two and English afternoon tea, with each exquisite dish accompanied by its unique explanation. To enjoy the unparalleled ambiance of the restaurant along with a unique taste experience, Lonely Cloud French Restaurant stands alone. If the public areas and guest rooms reflect the elegance of the Republican era a century ago, then the hotel's pool area presents more modern and fashionable elements. This is the only semi-open infinity pool with a West Lake view, where the glass and skylights by the pool can be fully opened, as if connecting with the West Lake. In the center of the pool, there is also a unique water droplet art installation, whose many meanings resonate with the name of Qiushui Villa and the waters of the West Lake.
