Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree Resort Makes Its Debut, Embracing an Elegant and Serene Charm

As the ancients said, “The stories of Hangzhou are endless, and the beauty of West Lake is boundless.” Located in a key water and land hub of the Jiangnan region, Hangzhou has long been a place of refined taste for poets and scholars since ancient times. The scenery of Hangzhou is renowned both domestically and internationally. This year, in addition to the appeal of its natural beauty, the Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree Resort has also been added, further highlighting the elegant and serene charm of Jiangnan.

The award-winning Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts group, following the success of Angsana Riads Collection Marrakech, Banyan Tree Lijiang, and Banyan Tree Sanya, has launched its latest masterpiece this year. The Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree Resort, located within the Xixi National Wetland Park, has officially made its debut. It is the fourth resort in China under the Banyan Tree brand. The Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree Resort offers a total of 36 Water Villa Suites and 36 villas. It is just a 50-minute drive from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport and only a 15-minute drive from downtown Hangzhou and the famous West Lake scenic area.

The design of the Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree Resort was entirely handled by the group’s design department, Architrave Design and Planning. The style showcases the essence of Jiangnan, with a strong emphasis on reconnecting with nature and exuding elegance and serenity throughout. Each room type offers spacious accommodations, whether it be the Water Villa Suite or the villas, all seamlessly blending Eastern aesthetics with modern decor. The Pool Villa and the Two-Bedroom Pool Villa both feature private courtyards and are equipped with an outdoor hot tub, offering a tranquil and picturesque view.

Hangzhou is recognized as one of the top ten most beautiful cities in China and is a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from both home and abroad. The historic Xixi area is the birthplace of the Dragon Boat Festival dating back to 1465, and it has appeared in the poetry and prose of Tang Dynasty literati. Its idyllic natural beauty has been widely celebrated through the ages. The picturesque Xixi National Wetland Park resembles an “ecological water world,” preserving wetland resources and ecosystems in their entirety. The restored fishponds and reed marshes are teeming with life. Scenic spots within the park such as Meizhu Mountain Villa, Qiuxue Nunnery, Yanshui Fishing Village, and Xixi Folk House showcase the simple and rustic charm of Xixi’s local culture.

To wander through Hangzhou’s lakes and mountains and experience the elegance and allure of the resort, Xixi Banyan Tree is now offering a grand opening promotion: The Water Villa Suite is available at USD 368 per night, including breakfast for two.
