Innovative Lifestyle System Disrupts Traditional Hotel Models

Hangzhou, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the mid-range boutique hotel brand HowToTrip (JunTing Hotels) has added two new properties in Hangzhou: Hangzhou Huihe JunTing Hotel and Hangzhou Xixigu JunTing Hotel. With these additions, there are now six HowToTrip hotels in Hangzhou, including Hangzhou Hubin JunTing Hotel, Hangzhou Yilian JunTing Hotel, Hangzhou Guangchang JunTing Hotel, and Hangzhou Yinlong JunTing Hotel.

Thanks to rapid high-speed rail development in recent years, it now takes just 1.5 hours from Hangzhou East Railway Station to any other high-speed rail city in the Yangtze River Delta, while the trip to Beijing has been shortened to as little as five hours. Especially for travelers heading to Beijing, many businesspeople and tourists have opted out of long airport waits and possible flight delays in favor of fast and efficient trains. The Huihe JunTing Hotel, located at No. 589 Xinfeng Road in Hangzhou, sits right next to Hangzhou East Railway Station—the largest railway hub in Asia and a central transportation node in the city—just a five-minute walk away. Whether for business trips or as a transit hub, it’s an ideal resting spot for travelers. Despite being just a stone’s throw from the station, the hotel also offers dedicated shuttle services for guests going to or from Hangzhou East Railway Station.

Unlike traditional hotels near train stations or airports, Huihe JunTing Hotel is positioned as a “lifestyle hub integrating community commerce and boutique hospitality.” The hotel becomes a new commercial and living space that enhances customer loyalty through community-based living. Deeply integrated with the “Huihe City” commercial complex, it transforms conventional hotel offerings like dining and entertainment into a vibrant hub featuring dozens of renowned food, retail, and flagship stores—including Dahua Times International Cinema, Playtime Children’s Dream Park, and漫咖啡 (Man Coffee)—all under one roof, offering shopping, living, entertainment, leisure, and gourmet experiences. At the same time, it maintains HowToTrip’s signature dedication to thoughtful guest service.

If Huihe JunTing Hotel, situated next to a transport hub, uses community-based commercial living to offer curated services for busy business travelers, the newly opened Xixigu JunTing Hotel presents a different scene—one of slow living—and introduces a new model that redefines the mid-range boutique experience.

Located at No. 535 Xixi Road in Hangzhou, Xixigu JunTing Hotel radiates out to the city’s key cultural, tourism, and business districts. It is just an eight-minute drive from the main entrance of Xixi National Wetland Park, Lingyin Temple, Huanglong Business District, and the Wensan Road educational area, and only a five-minute walk from the entrance to the Old He Mountain section of the Hangzhou West Mountain Hiking Trail. Nearby are the headquarters of Alibaba’s Alipay, the Zhejiang University Science and Technology Park, the headquarters building of Proya, and the Zheshang Venture Capital Center. For the convenience of guests, the hotel operates free shuttles daily between Lingyin Temple, Xixi Wetland Park, and Huanglong Times Square.

In addition, to precisely meet the needs of the surrounding community, and to provide social spaces for more business professionals and residents of upscale neighborhoods, Xixigu JunTing Hotel has set aside dedicated areas to host banquets, conferences, and small exhibitions for people working in nearby tech parks and office buildings. The hotel’s comprehensive business model—including terrace gardens, a coffee bookstore, bar and restaurant, and mobile business services—completely covers the operational and profit models of traditional hotels. This ensures every guest enjoys a refreshing and uniquely tailored experience.

Both Huihe JunTing Hotel and Xixigu JunTing Hotel carry forward HowToTrip’s philosophy of delivering an accumulation of Eastern cultural experiences for travelers. They emphasize fashionable design, core product quality, and refined service, meeting the expectations of a new generation of customers. After years of brand innovation, HowToTrip has emerged as a leader among China’s mid-range boutique hotels, disrupting the profit models of traditional boutique hotels. Through cultural curation, service excellence, and product refinement, it has created a concept of urban boutique art hotels that feel like tranquil retreats. In 2015, HowToTrip will continue to expand across first- and second-tier cities nationwide, with initial focus on key locations in the Yangtze River Delta such as Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui.
