Hangzhou West Lake Anyu Hotel
Xihu, Siyanjing, China
Anyu is a small hotel in the wooded folds of Xihu, close to the Manjuelong area. Dark timber, concrete and restrained interiors give the rooms a quiet, tactile character, with a reading room and restaurant adding to the appeal of staying in. It suits travellers who value intimacy and a hillside setting over a large resort’s facilities. Use it as a base for the tea-growing landscape and western cultural sights, arranging transport when heading farther across Hangzhou.
