The 242-room luxury residence is imbued with the rich nature, culture, history and artistry that are unique to this former imperial Chinese capital.
Combined with the elegance of the Park Hyatt brand, guests are welcomed into a refined sanctuary where a journey of rare and intimate experiences unfolds in exquisite style.
Located in the heart of Qianjiang New City CBD, Hangzhou’s burgeoning hub for commerce and culture on the west bank of Qiantang River, Park Hyatt Hangzhou is an ideal place for both business and leisure travelers.
The hotel forms part of the 800,000 sqm miXc complex, which also houses Grade-A offices, residential apartments and a six-level high-end retail podium. Crowning the uppermost levels of the 49-floor skyscraper, the new Park Hyatt Hangzhou is the tallest hotel in the city.
Park Hyatt Hangzhou is a 30-minute drive from Hangzhou International Airport and a 15-minute drive from Hangzhou East Railway Station for high-speed rail links to major cities across China.
The miXc complex is directly connected to the interchange of two Metro lines enabling easy citywide transportation. Guests can reach Hangzhou’s famed West Lake in just 20 minutes by car.
Designed by award-winning New York duo Yabu Pushelberg, Park Hyatt Hangzhou has been conceived as a contemporary Jiangnan-style residence, referencing the local South Yangtze River (Jiangnan) area
Guests embark on an enchanting journey of discovery through sophisticated contemporary chambers, courtyards, corridors and outdoor garden spaces infused with subtle Chinese detailing and nature motifs.
Upon arrival, guests are led through a series of lobbies crafted from luxuriant materials, such as deeply veined marble and contemporary Chinese lattice screens backlit in gold-leaf.
Park Hyatt Hangzhou’s 242 guestrooms and suites are the highest in the city and also offer the tallest ceilings, maximizing guests’ appreciation of uninterrupted views of the city skyline, river and mountains
Catching up on work is a pleasure at the oversized executive desk crafted from a single 1.8-meter-long piece of hardwood, while the unique bed-head features a cherry-blossom shadow pattern that gently glows at night conjuring mystical Hangzhou dreams.
Spa style bathrooms of white marble feature freestanding marble bathtubs, double vanities and deluxe bath products.
The soul of the residence, Living Room, wraps around the lobby embracing 270-degree panoramic views of the city and West Lake. Guests can relax in the serene, naturally-lit social space with five-meter-high windows to enjoy elegant afternoon teas and refreshments.
Dining Room serves authentic local Zhejiang and Cantonese cuisines crafted by master chefs using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients from the hotel’s organic farm.
Spanning the two highest levels of the hotel with a glass-bottom floor extending out from the top of the tower, Forty8 offers a sophisticated above-the-clouds experience.
The casual restaurant is styled like a vibrant gourmet marketplace with open kitchens specializing in fresh seafood, grilled meats and regional Chinese and Italian cuisines. Forty8 also encompasses a standalone cocktail and wine bar, a whisky and cigar bar, a stage for live music, plus a large outdoor garden terrace featuring three private semi-alfresco dining pavilions.
Meetings, celebrations and special events are elevated to a new level of exclusivity and style at Park Hyatt Hangzhou, enhanced by signature Park Hyatt brand service and creativity. Event guests enjoy private hotel access through a marble reception hall leading directly to the main 650 sqm Ballroom on Level 2.
On the same floor, The Residence offers a more casual setting with four meeting venues and residential-style lounge spaces, for all kinds of meetings and events of between 30-100 guests. ■
