Located in the heart of a city that blends more than 2,000 years of history with a distinctly modern outlook, the all-new Hotel will offer a second, and entirely different, Four Seasons experience in Hangzhou and the 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, this urban hotel is centrally located on the edge of Wulin Square, a busy shopping and entertainment district surrounding immaculate green gardens and pathways, and housed within the new Hangzhou Centre. The mixed-use development 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.
“As we continue to expand our diverse portfolio of Four Seasons hotels in China, we are delighted to offer a second option for both travellers and local guests in the beautiful city of Hangzhou,” says Rami Sayess, Four Seasons President, Hotel Operations – Asia Pacific. “Here, Four Seasons will be both a serene respite from the urban excitement that surrounds it, and intrinsically connected to the business and social fabric of the city.”
The new Four Seasons is 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 (1,240 miles) 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. The Hotel’s concierge team can 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.
“Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Hangzhou, as the city’s signature flower, the glorious osmanthus, is at its finest, bestowing waves of colour and fragrance to the entire area,” invites the Hotel’s General Manager Arthur Ho, whose extensive Four Seasons tenure includes time in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, and most recently, the opening of the new Four Seasons in Suzhou. “Our central location means that guests have easy access to the best viewing points, as well as the city’s many historic and modern attractions.”
Be among the first to experience the new Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre: In celebration of its grand opening in October, Four Seasons is offering the Experience More package, which includes a CNY 1,000 Hotel credit that allows guests to enjoy its dining options and spa, plus late check-out and room upgrade for guests who book two nights or more.
