West Lake First Garden · West Lake State Guesthouse | Building Selection Guide

| Building Selection Guide. West Lake First Garden · West Lake State Guesthouse | Building Selection Guide The prime location of hotels in Hangzhou, I think, is the West Lake State Guesthouse. Located on the most beautiful west line of West Lake, the lakeshore line is 2 kilometers long, even longer than the Bai Causeway. The entire hotel does not look like a hotel, but more like a West Lake garden. — When staying at the West Lake State Guesthouse, I would most recommend Building 2, followed by Buildings 8 and 7. For those with a sense of sentiment and no budget constraints, they can stay in Section B of Building 1. — ▫️Building 2 Building 2 is surrounded by West Lake water on three sides, which is almost unique on West Lake, making it one of the closest buildings to West Lake. Although it is an old building, it was renovated in 2021, making it new and expensive. The rooms are grand Chinese style, and all have lake views. — ▫️Building 8 A newly built boutique hotel, the rooms are in a new Chinese style, with SEALLY bedding, down pillows... The rooms are on the first floor and have a small courtyard. Most of the public areas are in Building 8, such as the front desk, gym, swimming pool, and the famous Ziwei Hall, the Western restaurant for breakfast, and the Red Bar for afternoon tea. So staying in Building 8 is the most convenient. — ▫️Building 7 Also a newly built boutique hotel, built a year earlier than Building 8, so it's a bit older, but quieter than Building 8. Moreover, the lake view rooms in Building 7 offer a distant view of West Lake. — ▫️Building 1 Building 1 is divided into Section A and Section B, with Section A of Building 1 being the most legendary. The hotel's presidential suite can be stayed in for a price, but Section A of Building 1 cannot be stayed in even if you pay. What can be booked with money is Section B, with only a dozen rooms, and the balcony seamlessly connects to West Lake. Although the room style is old-fashioned, the scenery it offers is unbeatable. — ▫️Other Buildings of the West Lake State Guesthouse ✔ Building 3: VIP building with garden views, rooms are old-fashioned ✔ Building 5: Garden view king rooms, also the most basic, the West Lake State Guesthouse etiquette class is also in Building 5 ✔ Building 6: Divided into South and North buildings, no rooms. It has Lansheng Pavilion (considered an executive lounge), banquet hall, meeting room, G20 exhibition hall, etc. — ⛵ Yacht The West Lake State Guesthouse also has a private dock, and instead of a boat, there is a yacht, which should be the only yacht on West Lake, mainly taking the inner West Lake route. — 🌸 Ziwei Hall Ziwei Hall is one of the faces of Hangzhou cuisine. As long as it performs well (with prior notice), it is not an exaggeration to say it is the Top 1 in Hangzhou, and the average cost is not high. Compared to Jinsha and Jiexianlou, Ziwei Hall is easier to book, and the West Lake Vinegar Fish is definitely worth a try.
