Located in the centrally located Wulin Square, Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre is now accepting reservations for arrivals beginning this October.
Complementing the intimate lakeside Four Seasons at West Lake, the new urban hotel is housed within the new Hangzhou Centre, a mixed-use development that includes the new Four Seasons, residences, offices, shopping and dining in two towers. Just a short walk away are additional shopping centres, the lively Wulin Night Market, and myriad restaurants and bars.
The new Four Seasons is also right across the street from one of the Grand Canal’s water bus stations, with the opportunity to discover this marvel of engineering that dates back to the 5th century BC. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its 2,000 kilometres of waterways have played a historic role in facilitating communications, transport and commerce in eastern China, and today stand out as a unique way to explore Hangzhou from a different perspective.
Business travellers with time to spare can have the concierge team arrange a day or night tour with stops at one of many museums that line the Grand Canal, including the China Knives, Scissors and Swords Museum, and the China Fan Museum. Glide under the famous Gongchen Bridge or stop at charming Xiaohe Street for shopping and photos.
A Stellar Creative Team
Housed within a new tower by architects Goettsch Partners and GAD with landscape design by P LANDSCAPE, interiors are by Avalon Collective (public areas, guest rooms, event spaces) with restaurants by AB Concept and rooftop bar by Kokai Studio. Throughout, the Hotel is a modern interpretation of classic Chinese design motifs, featuring high ceilings, bountiful natural light and panoramic views in all directions.
The Hotel’s 188 guest rooms and 26 suites are located on floors 19-29, affording elevated views of the city, Grand Canal and West Lake. Of particular interest are the corner suites – extending the stunning views more broadly.
Wellness is a priority at Four Seasons, with an 18th floor spa featuring six tranquil treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art gym with inspiring floor-to-ceiling panoramic views, and a 25 x 8 metre (82 x 26 foot) indoor heated swimming pool for “sky swimming.” The Hotel also features several landscaped outdoor terraces on the 8th, 10th and 30th floors for dining and special events.
Memorable Dining
Welcoming business travellers and local guests alike, Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre has been conceived as a destination for dining and drinking, with four unique concepts set to be unveiled.
Leading the way is Song 颂, showcasing fresh interpretations of Ningbo’s famous just-caught seafood dishes and savoury dumplings. The elegant and airy dining room features bold jade accents and intricate hidden references to be discovered while enjoying a business or social meal. The restaurant offers five impressive private dining rooms as well.
At Charm 韵, there’s always something new to experience as the day begins with a breakfast buffet before transforming for a Mediterranean fusion lunch. At dinner, guests are treated to a fun and interactive evening as chefs display their culinary craftsmanship preparing fresh ingredients to go into hot pots in a convivial dining setting.
Greeting guests off the main lobby on the 10th floor is The Lounge 桂, a gracious gathering space for cozy afternoon teas and lively cocktails in the afternoon and evening. An open pastry counter tempts tastebuds, while an adjacent Sky Garden provides a refreshing respite from the busy streets below.
Crowning the Hotel on the 30th floor is Stars 繁星, a glamorous Champagne bar where guests can make celebratory toasts with a choice of the world’s finest Champagne labels and vintages, plus innovative cocktails, whiskeys and wines from around the globe. An adjacent outdoor space is the ideal setting for private parties under the stars.
Gatherings at Four Seasons
Set to be the address of choice for meetings, social events and corporate launches in the city, Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre offers 2,900-sqm of indoor event space highlighted by a divisible Four Seasons Ballroom totalling 1,290-sqm. The pillarless room is naturally lit, with adjacent pre-function space, and even boasts car elevators to accommodate product launches and more. Unusual in the city is the Hotel’s Sky Garden with outdoor lawn and activity platform accommodating up to 200 guests – a fantastic option for concert or launch events.
