The newly opened hotel in Hangzhou has amazed me again—it's simply a work of art!

If you ask older generations of Hangzhou locals where the city center is, they'll undoubtedly say Wulin. This luxury boutique hotel under the InterContinental brand offers dual views of West Lake and the city skyline🏙️, allowing guests to fully appreciate this "treasured" experience. 📍Location: A short walk from Wulin Square Station (Lines 1 & 3)🚇 🚞Direct access via Line 1 from both Hangzhou East Station and Hangzhou Station, making transportation extremely convenient 💁‍♂️Check-in Experience: 🌿It happened to rain☔️, and the staff kindly held umbrellas for us the entire time 🌿Front desk registration was swift, with warm and attentive service—every request was accommodated 🌿Early check-out luggage storage available, and staff will assist with heavy bags 🐲Grand Lobby Atmosphere: ✔️The 9-meter-high lobby is magnificent, resembling a treasure chest ✔️Art installations flow throughout the hotel, creating a dreamy romantic ambiance ✔️An antique display cabinet in the lobby showcases precious collectibles like 1929 West Lake Expo commemorative badges, Dujinsheng Silk Factory original fabric samples, and vintage typewriters 🍃Deluxe King Room: The hotel has 24 floors with a maximum of 12 rooms per floor. Base rooms start at 32㎡—I stayed in a 19th-floor Deluxe King Room. ▪️Elegant beige and textured black tones give the room a business-friendly yet modern feel. Despite being newly opened, there was no noticeable odor. ▪️Separate living area, bathroom, and toilet, complete with a bathtub🛁, bath salts, and exfoliating towels—no sense of confinement at all. ▪️My city-view room offered a panoramic view of Hangzhou’s bustling nightscape🌃. ▪️The room was equipped with small tools like a stapler, magnifying glass🔍, and scissors. 🏊Hotel Facilities: The gym is fully equipped with a yoga room.
