Qiushui Villa
Xihu, Beishan Street, China

Qiushui Villa combines the character of a 1930s residence with a particularly close relationship to West Lake. Its protected architectural details, antique furnishings and small collection of individually designed accommodation make it an appealing choice for travellers who prefer a personal setting. A courtyard and garden spaces add to the sense of retreat. The strongest reason to stay is the combination of history and location; discuss room layout and lake outlook directly before choosing a suite.
