I remember going to the Hangzhou Civic Center in the summer and passing by the Oceanwide Diaoyutai Hotel. What impressed me was that I was attracted by the appearance of this magnificent hotel. I also discussed with my friends that it would be very nice and I would stay there if I had the opportunity. For a few nights...

Unexpectedly, I actually moved in last week! I took Ma Mi to experience this Chinese-style luxury hotel.

As a travel blogger, I have stayed in many five-star hotels, but from the bottom of my heart, this one is currently my favorite.

National trend, international style!

First of all, the entire building of Hangzhou Oceanwide Diaoyutai Hotel is very majestic, but it is restrained and reserved. It was designed by the British firm ATKINS, giving people a feeling of high-end atmosphere.

Then, walking into the hotel lobby is like walking into an exquisite Jiangnan garden, but at the same time, you can feel a royal style in the details. The entrance of the hotel is designed to look like a sedan hall. A sedan chair shaped work of art allows people to experience traditional Chinese culture; further inside, four columns come into view. The lobby is magnificent, but the design of the wooden columns is also Very simple, only expressing vitality and history with the handmade texture and uneven touch on the surface.

The lobby lounge area and the reception area are separated by a moon door. The top of the reception area continues to use pavilion elements. The background wall is decorated with Chinese ink paintings. The top of the lobby is deliberately used with Chinese red. Bookshelves indispensable for Chinese fun are placed on both sides of the reception desk.

Because Christmas is coming soon, the hotel's Christmas atmosphere is very strong. All kinds of Christmas devices, decorations, etc. look beautiful and foreign.

Stay in the River View Suite with a high-end design that combines Chinese and Western styles

I really loved the River View Suite I stayed in this time! The color matching of the room is retro, but it also shows a sense of advanced quality. It is really invincible no matter where you are in the room, and a blockbuster will be produced in minutes! Look, even Ma Mi can take photogenic Internet celebrity photos!

In the room, the whole feeling is particularly comfortable and relaxed, and you can feel the peace and tranquility of Jiangnan Mansion.

The desk design in the room is similar to a traditional Eight Immortals table.

The black and white floor tiles in the bathroom have an exotic touch. When you are tired, you can lie in that oversized round bathtub and take a bath to relieve yourself.

The toilets are fully automatic, super smart and considerate! There is also a bathroom with top-notch tropical rainforest shower equipment. The top shower and the three showers on the side can water at the same time. You no longer have to be afraid of the cold. It is an invincible and considerate design! The hotel also uses essential oil toiletries from Australia's high-end organic skin care brand Appelles, and is equipped with different bathrobes in winter and summer.

My favorite are the two hexagonal washbasins, which are handmade from copper. It is said that the design was inspired by ancient wells in Hangzhou and leaky windows in Jiangnan, giving people a feeling of perfection. I told my mother at that time that I would install the washbasin at home exactly like this one in the future!

There are also Chinese paintings on the walls, complemented by exquisite Western-style picture frames, giving a refined taste.

The room is also equipped with a BOSE wireless music system, an angle-adjustable full HD 55 'TV, and a multi-function line interface. Mobile phones and computers can be equipped with the TV screen.

The only pity was that on the day of check-in, due to the foggy weather, we couldn't see the Qiantang River clearly. If the weather is good, the view of the room is really great!

Find Western Restaurant and walk into Marco Polo's Travels

For dinner, we ate at the Xipin Western Restaurant. The restaurant's inspiration came from the story line of Marco Polo's Travels, which brought Chinese and Western cultures, the essence of Chinese and Western, and Chinese and Western cuisine to a perfect encounter here.

I tried the beef hot pot launched by the hotel in winter. It is a very novel way to eat it. Cut the beef into small pieces into a hot pot filled with oil and rinse it for 10 seconds. You can eat it, dip it in the sauce, and put it in your mouth. It's so delicious that it explodes! The beef with milk flavor and sauce is the best and most fragrant beef I have ever tasted!

Mushroom soup and pasta are also delicious ~

Then there is also a buffet of salads and desserts in the restaurant for unlimited enjoyment!

Must-try local dishes when you come to Hangzhou

At noon the next day, I went to the hotel's Pinju Hangzhou Leisure Restaurant to eat Hangzhou local dishes. The semi-open kitchen allows guests to see the chef's process of making dishes. The atmosphere of the entire restaurant is slightly market-like, relaxed and unreserved. Most of the people who come to eat are young white-collar workers.

I ordered special dishes such as drunken crabs, beef grains, meatball hot pot, fried shrimp, and peanut seedlings, which were full of Jiangnan flavor.

Exquisite breakfast full of Hangzhou characteristics

The breakfast here is very rich, very exquisite, and very Hangzhou characteristics. Some Dingsheng Cakes, Osmanthus La Cakes, Drunken Chicken, etc. are very delicious! The key is to be able to enjoy the green park outside the floor-to-ceiling window while eating. It's so emotional!

Enjoy leisure and entertainment, equipped with a gym and swimming pool

On the ground floor, there is a 20-meter heated swimming pool, hydrotherapy spray massage pool and fitness center.

The "Hanging Garden" is hidden on the 18th floor of the prestigious place

Villa Hangzhou is located on the 18th floor and can serve famous Diaoyutai cuisine. The 260-square-meter venue is designed as a living room of the mansion and is equipped with Chinese furniture. The dining area can accommodate a round table for 24 people. From here, you can overlook the Qiantang River. Two elevators direct from the first floor provide a private dining experience for VIPs; Villa Hangzhou can stroll to the adjacent Chinese-style Sky Garden. This 680-square-meter Jiangnan garden is equipped with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. It is a wonderful place to hold private banquets.

If you come to Hangzhou, you must come to the Oceanwide Diaoyutai Hotel to experience this place full of the essence of Chinese culture and the charm of the ancient capital of Qiantang!
