The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou
Xihu, Beishan Road, China
The Silk Lakehouse reimagines the home of a Jiangnan silk merchant on West Lake’s northern shore. Rich textiles, elaborate floral details and individually expressive interiors give the hotel a distinctive character, with some rooms placing the lake directly beyond the bath or sitting area. The property opened under Shangri-La Signatures in 2025. It suits travellers who enjoy decorative design and a small-scale luxury setting, with the lake’s walking routes close at hand.
