[2025 Hangzhou Hotels] Travel Guide for Le Méridien Hangzhou, Binjiang (Updated Jul)

✅This time, I came to Hangzhou for a business trip and tried a new approach. A friend and I chose to stay at the Le Méridien Hangzhou Binjiang, located near the "Lianzhuang" subway station 🚇. Though situated in the bustling city, it offers a stunning view of mountains and rivers. The Qiantang River flows gently or swiftly between the urban landscape and the surrounding mountains! ✅ Stepping into the hotel lobby, the light color palette stands out from most hotel designs. The front desk is a circular island, paired with a rotating sculpture above, creating a refreshing vibe. The "Le Méridien" green tea-themed elements add a fresh touch. The lobby is relatively small and lacks high ceilings, making it somewhat understated, but the tones and furniture exude a modern feel! ✅ The concierge escorted us to the room. The hallway is guided by light and shadow, while the elevator lobby features the "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon" and the room entrance wall depicts the "Eight Scenes of West Lake" with letter elements, perfectly capturing the essence of Hangzhou. ✅ The room was on the 17th floor, the same level as the executive lounge. The unobstructed window view overlooks the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Qiantang River. The mini bar's mugs are unique, instantly reminding me of the love story of the White Snake and Xu Xian. Additionally, the bathroom design is excellent, using a lot of translucent glass materials to enhance brightness while ensuring privacy, creating a touch of romance. ✅ Breakfast is served at the "Latest Recipe All-Day Dining Restaurant," with plenty of hot dishes and some Hangzhou specialties. The third floor also has the "Le Mei Chinese Restaurant," making it a great choice for dinner. You can purchase set meals directly on DP for better value! Another highlight is the lounge on the 17th floor, where the afternoon tea desserts 🍨 are fantastic 👍, and the quiet atmosphere is perfect for business work... ✅ The hotel offers comprehensive wellness facilities, including a gym, swimming pool, children's playground, and an indoor golf simulator. The swimming pool has a terrace with views of the Qiantang River. The golf simulator 🏌️ is chargeable, and the children's playground is very clean, with toys neatly arranged! ✅ The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and Le Méridien Hangzhou Binjiang presents three unique festive zongzi options for business, gifts, employee benefits, family sharing, or souvenirs. The canvas and nylon tote bag in navy blue with hand-painted patterns is versatile for carrying by hand or over the shoulder, effortlessly stylish for any occasion, reinterpreting modern simplicity and fashion.

This was my first time visiting Hangzhou's Binjiang district, where I met two friends for business discussions, so I chose to stay at Le Méridien Hangzhou Binjiang. Transportation: After accompanying my mom and her friends in Wuzhen, I took a taxi directly to the hotel, which took just over an hour. Since it takes about an hour to get from Wuzhen to Tongxiang Station, then to Hangzhou East Station, taking a taxi was very convenient. Your route may vary—there’s also a subway from East Station to near the hotel. Hotel Facilities: Le Méridien’s signature feature is its artistic integration throughout the property. This location excels by incorporating many Hangzhou-inspired elements into every corner—from the front desk’s "Dreaming of Qiantang" to the lobby’s "Endless Scroll," the escalator’s "Spring Silkworm Weaving Dreams" to the guest floor’s "New Ten Scenes of West Lake." The lake-view room features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Qiantang River, with mountains and water creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The hotel pool offers breathtaking views and is located on the fifth floor alongside the gym and kids' club. The third floor houses the buffet and Chinese restaurant, where breakfast is abundant. The Chinese restaurant specializes in Huaiyang cuisine at great value—I dined there twice and shared my experience separately. The 17th-floor executive lounge offers an impressive selection, making it perfect for sipping wine while admiring the picturesque scenery outside. Surroundings: I arrived in the afternoon and met friends for dinner and discussions in the evening. We visited Nine Creeks and Misty Trees, just a 10-minute drive from the hotel—a true fairyland with no entrance fee. You can stroll up in about an hour, then take the electric cart back down for just 8 RMB per person. It was wonderfully cool, and being a weekend, many families were there with kids playing in the water.
