At "Hangzhou's Little Sanya," I was healed by the laid-back vibe of this hotel

📷 Hidden in Hangzhou's Qiantang CBD lies an urban oasis reminiscent of Sanya—Jinsha Lake. The Canopy by Hilton Hangzhou Qiantang, where I stayed this time, is right by the lakeside. The palm trees and sandy beach outside the hotel create a wonderfully relaxed vacation atmosphere. 🌊 The hotel is conveniently located next to Xiasha West Metro Station, with easy access to commercial centers like Longfor Jinsha Tiandi. The area offers a quiet retreat amidst the city bustle and is pet-friendly, making it a great choice for a mini urban getaway. 🌸 Stepping into the hotel lobby, you’re immediately struck by its unique ambiance. Large areas are dedicated to lounging, and the main lighting and decor incorporate osmanthus elements—fitting, since osmanthus is Hangzhou’s city flower. 😍 I stayed in a lakeside king room on the 10th floor, which was spacious and offered a stunning view of picturesque Jinsha Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows. The minimalist, serene interior design featured a smart room control system and stylish furniture that I loved. 🍛 The hotel’s Ge Li Restaurant on the first floor is an all-day dining venue with 180-degree lake views. Breakfast features a diverse buffet, while lunch and dinner offer à la carte options, both Chinese and Western. From 6 to 7 PM, guests can enjoy a complimentary cocktail during the "Sip & Savor" hour. 🏋️ The second floor houses a fully equipped lakeside fitness center, the "Vitality" game room, and five private lounges. The fitness center offers panoramic lake views, while the game room has pool, ping pong, and foosball—perfect for fun with friends. 🌺 For cycling enthusiasts, the hotel provides free orange bikes at the front desk. Ride around Jinsha Lake and soak in the vibrant charm of "Hangzhou's Little Sanya."
