Qiushui Villa, just opposite West Lake, turns history into a legend. Built in the 1930s for Shen Qiushui by magnate Shi Liangcai, it offers Hangzhou’s most intimate luxury.
Each of its 12 suites, named for literary icons like Lin Huiyin and Zhang Ailing, is designed by a China Academy of Art professor. A 24-hour butler service, a private infinity pool, and a Michelin-selected restaurant complete the experience at this Small Luxury Hotels of the World property, where guests become protagonists in a living legend.
