Vallie Hotel

Get closer to nature at Hangzhou Vallie Hotel- a peaceful retreat in the heart of the forest in Hangzhou. Restored from modest dwellings once used by local tea farmers- this boutique escape blends traditional architecture with truly modern comforts. And it lets nature do the talking. Wake to the silence of the forest- the calls of birds in the air. Salute the sun in your very own private yoga pod- or set off on a hiking adventure through the trees. Signature restaurant Shijiu will have plenty of seasonally inspired dishes waiting on your return- as well as an extensive wine list- teas and coffees- and snacks for between meals. And if you want something in particular- simply ask your personal butler. The hotel encourages guests to connect to the local area- whether that means a dip in the hot spring bath or discovering cultural highlights- such as the spectacular Liuhe Pagoda nearby. You can of course venture further afield- too. Head to the West Lake- where you can take gentle strolls- adventurous bike rides or simply gaze out over the water. Or experience the culture of this fascinating part of China with trips to traditional tea rooms- art galleries and even the China National Silk Museum. Hangzhou Vallie Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
