The West Lake's Finest Hotel - Shangri-La Never Disappoints!

Last year I visited the incredibly delicious Shangri-La in Wenzhou, and this year while going to Xixi Wetland to see water lilies, I thought of checking out another Shangri-La, so I chose this Hangzhou Downtown Shangri-La.

🌟The location of this Shangri-La is truly amazing - just a 10+ minute walk to West Lake, where you can enjoy the fountain show at night. Only 5 subway stops from Hangzhou East Station, reachable within half an hour - so convenient!

🌟The nearest subway station is Line 1's Fengqi Road Station. Right next to the hotel is Hangzhou Kerry Center, making it super convenient for dining, strolling or shopping.

🏨Hotel Highlights:
✅The grand lobby with stunning crystal chandeliers creates a magnificent atmosphere
✅The floral arrangements in the lobby showcase thoughtful design with unique characteristics
✅The hotel has a distinctive, luxurious fragrance that's signature Shangri-La
✅The room's mattress is the most comfortable I've ever slept on - perfect firmness for a good night's sleep
✅The room decor has a slight business vibe, but the large windows with sheer curtains create great ambiance
✅Exceptionally thoughtful service - while waiting to check in, the front desk staff kindly recommended nearby attractions to keep me from getting bored, so heartwarming!

🏞️Nearby Attractions:
🌟Wulin Night Market: Highly recommended for evening exploration in Hangzhou. It's truly lively! Shops line both sides of the street with small stalls in the middle, evoking childhood memories of night market visits.

🌟West Lake Music Fountain: The nightly fountain show starts promptly at 7:30pm, lasting about 15 minutes. Arrive early for good viewing spots along the lake! This free performance creates a romantic West Lake experience.

🌟Broken Bridge Remnant Snow: A must-visit for Hangzhou tourists, just 20 minutes' walk from the hotel. This is where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian famously met, giving the bridge special romantic significance.

🌟Qianwang Temple: A small garden by West Lake with only 15 yuan admission, offering insights into Hangzhou's history during the Song Dynasty and commemorating King Qian of Wuyue Kingdom.
