Hangzhou in winter has a unique flavor; the forests on the edge of the West Lake are dyed, and the withered lotus leaves are like ink paintings. Occasionally, the sunset catches the sky red, which always attracts many photographers.

Xianghu Lake, a sister lake away from the West Lake, also welcomes intoxicating and beautiful colors during this season. When the weather is good, the lake is crowded with people. In addition to local citizens coming for a walk, there are also many guests coming for tourism. This time, I also came to Hangzhou on a warm sunny afternoon in winter, strolled through the West Lake and Xianghu Lake, and felt the beauty of Hangzhou in a different winter.

This time I also came to Hangzhou's "Eye of the City"-Jinsha Lake, perhaps because the weather was so good and it was a weekend. It attracts many citizens to bring cute children here to dig sand and play. There are no bustling tourists by the West Lake here, only laughter filled with childhood fun and joy.

This time, I came out alone to relax and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu, a subsidiary of Intercontinental Hotels Group. With its excellent service quality and full range of catering, leisure and conference facilities, the hotel has become a favorite choice for guests for business trips or family vacations.

Walking into the elegant and dignified hotel lobby, the first thing that catches your eye is the landscape painting composed of light screens. The designer uses the lake water as the inspiration for space design. The crystal lamp beads are placed and separated, seemingly tangible and intangible, making the space transparent but not transparent., forming a looming distant artistic conception.

On the left side of the hotel is the front desk, where check-in and check-out is, while on the right is the hotel's lobby lounge, which is also a good place to check in. In the warm afternoon, the sun is warm, and you sit by the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the lobby lounge and enjoy exquisite afternoon tea with your friends. Here you can find strong coffee, pure tea, and exquisite snacks.

This time, we stayed in a room on the executive floor of the 23rd floor of the hotel. The room decoration design draws on Hangzhou landscape elements to showcase the elegance and purity, creating a natural, warm and artistic atmosphere for guests. Through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, you can also have a panoramic view of the bustling Hangzhou City.

The rooms are equipped with a large-screen LCD TV and satellite channels, luxurious toilet facilities and international brand bathing products, high-quality bedding, and a spacious working area. High-speed wireless and wired Internet is also available for guests.

The shower room is equipped with an oversized bathtub. After a day of walking, people will always feel tired. Put in a tank of warm water and take a comfortable bath.

The room I stayed in included executive benefits, so in the evening, I can go to the Executive Lounge on the 22nd floor of the hotel for coffee and desserts. It provides personalized business and concierge services, and is also a good place for guests to socialize and relax.

hotels withYanlan Whole Day RestaurantA sumptuous Western buffet and a la carte service are provided; skilled chefs select high-quality ingredients from various countries to present guests with authentic and exquisite local specialties and Eurasian cuisine.

The unique space design, the unique and elegant outdoor open-air garden, and the transparent and bright floor-to-ceiling glass windows all create a comfortable dining atmosphere for guests.

The buffet dinner at Yanlan All-Day Restaurant has been completely upgraded to launch a whole beef hot pot. Three classic soup bases are paired with a variety of Australian beef rolls to keep this winter cold. At the same time, there are also grilled whole sheep and hairy crabs served on the table for dinner. Even braised pork and couple's lung slices are available. Seafood sashimi, freshly made steak stalls, lava cakes, and a wide variety of ice cream.

Many parent-child families come for vacation. After breakfast, they accompany their children to play in the open-air park outside the all-day restaurant.

I think everyone is familiar with the two well-known catering brands of InterContinental Hotels Group,"Caifeng Building and CHAR Cha Restaurant and Bar". Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu is also equipped with "Caifeng Building and CHARQia Restaurant and Bar", which is already a good choice for high-end business or family banquets for Hangzhou gourmets; if you come to Hangzhou for vacation, don't miss the delicious food here.

Caifeng Building Chinese RestaurantThe decoration design combines Chinese classical and modern fashion, and the private rooms are named after the spirit bird. The menu features authentic local traditional Hangbang cuisine, and selects delicious dishes from Cantonese cuisine and executive chef's creative cuisine.

In the crab fat season, in addition to hairy crabs, the restaurant also offers several very delicious crab meal dishes.

In winter, Caifenglou Chinese Restaurant has launched a new season's cuisine: Cantonese delicacies raised in winter to satisfy guests 'picky taste buds.

Eating in the luxurious private room of Caifeng Lou Chinese Restaurant is also a very good experience; the private room is exquisitely decorated and accompanied by delicious food.

The Chinese restaurant also has an outdoor garden with tables and chairs. In good weather, dining here is also a very good experience.

I personally prefer the hotel's CHARcha Restaurant and Bar, which is also popular among gourmets. The restaurant mainly serves fresh and juicy specialty steaks, a wide variety of cocktails and side dishes. The restaurant not only brings guests an unprecedented high-quality steak experience, but also presents a unique bar for trendy guests in the city.

Located in the fitness and leisure and entertainment area on the 5th floor of the hotel, the gym is equipped with new imported LIFE FITNESS professional fitness facilities, including treadmills, space walkers, mountain climbing machines, back-rest exercise bicycles, etc. Meet the fitness needs of business and vacation guests.

The hotel's indoor swimming pool is also a good place to go. The ceiling in the swimming pool is bright and spacious and transparent. The swimming pool is about 23 meters long and the water depth is 1.2-1.3 meters. When you go swimming this season, you don't have to worry about the water being too cold, but you can also enjoy the fun of splashing in the water.
