Traveling is like opening an unknown book. The experiences and memories during the journey help us slowly broaden our understanding of the world and life, gradually fill this book with unknown ending, and become an exclusive autobiography.

As the journey accumulates, the restrictions on rest increase, and the long or short stops during the break between the journey will also pay more attention to the sense of experience and comfort. Perhaps because of this, I gradually fell in love with the habit of finding a familiar hotel brand first in a strange place. For me, Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu is probably such an existence. The beginning of falling in love with a city is because of a hotel.

(1) The quiet space in Suzhou and Hangzhou

As the saying goes,"There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." For a long time, the land of Hangzhou has been sung and praised by literati. Hangzhou is the embodiment of heaven in people's impression, and West Lake is the soul of Hangzhou."Slow life" is the most obvious label here. Old Hangzhou people like to slow down in their spare time and feel the innocence and beauty that have long been far away from people's sight.

After the West Lake, Jinsha Lake, the new "eye of the city" in eastern Hangzhou, once again attracted world attention. Crowne Plaza Longhu is located in this place of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is both classical and modern.

Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu, located in the core area of Jinsha Lake CBD, is a strong combination resort hotel invested and constructed by Longhu Group and managed by Intercontinental Hotels Group. It is adjacent to Xiasha Civic Center and seamlessly connects with Metro Line 1. It is very convenient to reach all business districts in Hangzhou.

The overall design concept of Hangzhou Longhu Crown comes from Hangzhou's rich cultural heritage-the integration of mountain and water elements. The unique design forms a unique Chinese atmosphere business style. The pleasant environment on the shores of Jinsha Lake, relaxing scenery, the excellent service quality of Intercontinental brands, all-round catering and leisure, and a flexible 1550-square-meter conference venue and facilities... This Crowne Plaza Longhu Hotel in Hangzhou is definitely a place of peace of mind when you are tired.

(2) Meet the morning light between mountains, rivers and lakes

"You never get tired of walking up the lake during the day, and you never get tired of sitting on the lake at night.""Seeking Dreams in West Lake" by Zhang Dai, a writer in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is the inspiration for the Longhu Crown. The water waves spread in the wind layer by layer, and the ripples danced with the rain. The hotel creatively sealed the Hangzhou rain scenery and the West Lake water scenery in every detail in every corner, making it feel like being in a sparkling lake. Boating and viewing the scenery is like walking in the drizzle is unforgettable.

Through modern craftsmanship, each piece of art combines the beauty of mountains and clouds with the beauty of water and rain, making it show a melodious and far-reaching charm, which makes the residents in it unconsciously associate it with the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou and touch the pulse and heartbeat of this Jiangnan Water City.

Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu has more than 300 rooms. The decoration and design in each room draws on the local landscape elements of Hangzhou, demonstrating the beauty of elegance and cleanliness. The combination of creativity and practical design creates a unique and unforgettable vacation experience for the guests. All rooms are equipped with large-screen TVs, spacious working areas, luxurious toilet facilities and high-quality bedding, striving to create a natural, warm, artistic atmosphere.

The spacious space in the Crown Superior Bed, through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the bustling Hangzhou City without any effort. The 800-square-level rooftop garden located on the fifth floor is fresh and natural. Whether you can have three or two friends here to have fun or enjoy your alone time, it is a rare quiet space amidst the noise.

(3) Eating on the crown is a blessing

What is worth mentioning is the hotel's catering. As the two well-known catering brands of InterContinental Hotels Group-"Caifeng Building" and "Charcha Restaurant and Bar", the various delicacies in Hangzhou's gourmet restaurants are the unspeakable little secrets. Caifeng Lou Chinese Restaurant, as soon as you enter the door, is filled with the classical atmosphere of Chinese decoration. It is based on authentic local traditional Hangbang cuisine, supplemented by Cantonese cuisine and a series of cuisines creatively selected by executive chefs.

CHAR Cha Restaurant and Bar mainly serves fresh and juicy specialty steaks, a wide variety of cocktails and side dishes. It is favored by the gourmets of the restaurant. In addition to the unprecedented high-quality steak experience, it is also a bar with a unique style. It is an ideal place for Hangzhou people to meet families and gather friends.

In addition to Caifeng Building Heqia Restaurant, Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Longhu also has a Yanlan all-day restaurant that serves buffet and a la carte service. Here, you can enjoy unlimited delicacy such as Parma air-dried ham, Japanese sashimi, top steaks, and Beijing fruit roast duck. Exquisite Chinese and Western specialties and Eurasian delicacies create a taste kingdom for diners who come to hear the news.

Listening to Qianlong's visit to Hangzhou, the spring songs of Pinghu are endless. Hangzhou, when you read these two words, is warm and poetic in your bones. After the four seasons of the year change and the years pass, it is the whole Jiangnan. The thousand-year precipitation of this landscape has given every building here its own aura, and every lake, fallen wood, and even every path here is in a circle. Crowne Plaza Longhu, which takes root here, also integrates the rain scenery of Hangzhou and the water scenery of West Lake into the soul of the entire hotel. Seeing Hangzhou in the details, I fell in love with Hangzhou and Crowne Plaza Longhu.
