Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake

The Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake sits on Lingyin Road. The property is steps away from the water’s edge of West Lake, while the China National Tea Museum and Lingyin Temple are just as close.

Most hotels in this area force a choice between lakeside proximity and temple access, but this location sits comfortably between both. By choosing to stay here, you trade the concentrated tourist crush of the immediate lakefront for a base that makes both the temple path and the museum circuit walkable. It is a more practical starting point than the inns clustered tightly against the main piers, which often struggle with the sheer volume of daily visitors.
