Hangzhou's Hardest-to-Book Republic-Era Villa Hotel! Step into a "Time Capsule" by West Lake

Tucked beside West Lake lies a 90-year-old "internet-famous vintage gem" — Xishang Hugao•1934! This transformed 1934 Republic-era villa blends forest-style villas, shaded courtyards, and a century of history into an irresistible charm, with its secret allure hidden in every patch of greenery. 🏡 Republic-Era Romance Nestled in the Woods Built along the slopes of Hugao Mountain, the hotel is surrounded by century-old shrubs, with 23 forest-style villas (45-58 sqm) hidden along winding paths. Wooden window frames capture endless greenery, while vintage hardwood floors, black lacquer cabinets, and ceramic decor exude the refined aesthetic of "Yi Ji." Even the bathtub is filled with Hugao spring water! Open the Australian Grown Alchemist toiletries, and the air instantly transforms into a forest breeze. 🍽️ Dining in Scenery, Capturing Light and Shadow The "Moon Bud Restaurant" by the lobby is a glasshouse highlight, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame lush greenery, making every meal feel like a painting. The rooftop restaurant is even more stunning—dining tables set amidst thriving foliage offer mountain views, with every snapshot looking like a cinematic masterpiece! 🌊 The Ultimate Summer Escape The hotel's infinity pool is shaded by towering trees as "natural parasols." Soak in the cool water while watching dappled sunlight dance—even Hangzhou's humidity feels refreshingly shattered. As evening lights glow, the century-old villa's warmth envelops you, as if stepping back in time. 🚶♀️ Step Outside into Nature, Healing Hikes Await A 10-minute walk takes you to Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies, where you can wade through streams to birdsong. Or head to Yunqi Bamboo Path, with bamboo shadows brushing your shoulders—staying here makes every breath crisp with mountain air. Hangzhou's best-kept secret: "Away from the bustle, yet close to the city." Once you arrive, you won’t want to leave! 📍 Address: No. 6-1, Huyu Road, West Lake District, Hangzhou 💡 Tips: Book a month ahead! Every room offers a limited-edition view.
