Banyan Tree Hangzhou Xixi is the most spacious resort hotel in Hangzhou, with 36 suites and 36 villas, each with an area of more than 120 square meters.
Banyan Tree Xixi's design incorporates the characteristics of traditional Jiangnan architecture, with white-walled and gray-tiled emblem-style buildings built along the water, and each room faces the West Lake wetland or the inner lake connected to the wetland, and the windows can be opened to enjoy the pavilions, water pavilions, weeping willows and flowers. The rooms are exquisitely furnished and aesthetically pleasing, with high ceilings with a pointed ceiling, a semi-open bedroom separated from the living room by a screen, an embroidered bed headboard, and movable doors on both sides. The room is equipped with tea sets, incense and essential oil lamps, and the bathroom has a double washbasin and a sauna function. The villa also has a private courtyard and lounge area, including a balcony called "Beauty Lean", which is furnished with Taishi chairs, a round table, and a Jacuzzi on the side. The balcony faces the lush dense garden, which is inevitably infested with mosquitoes, so guests should pay more attention.
When it comes to Banyan Tree, we have to talk about the famous Banyan Tree spa. Banyan Tree Xixi has a total of 10 indoor spas, which are located in the resort's natural surroundings. The program covers a comprehensive range of treatments, including the usual facial, hand and foot treatments, as well as special herbal scrubs, hair spas, and more. Guests can experience different massage techniques, whether it's a classic Thai massage, a Swedish massage that combines three techniques, or a lomi lomi massage that originated in Hawaii. In addition, the hotel has introduced the Oriental Spring Bath Experience, which uses "cold" therapy to relax guests.
In addition to having spacious rooms, Banyan Tree Xixi also hosts regular events that are perfect for families. Banyan Tree Xixi has developed a series of activities according to different holidays, during the Spring Festival, guests can participate in the garden party held in the restaurant every afternoon, the hotel will distribute copper coins as tokens, and guests can go to the market stalls, buy snacks and souvenirs, and feel the taste of the New Year. On Children's Day, the hotel restaurant will provide special children's themed packages, and the children's club will add activities such as sand painting and building blocks to distribute small gifts to children. If it is Mother's Day, the spa will also launch special activities, such as half price for one person, free treatments, etc.
The hotel's restaurants include buffet, Hangzhou, Cantonese and Western cuisine. Guests of the villa area can also choose to have a barbecue in the courtyard, and Western meals and seafood ingredients are served. One of Banyan Tree Xixi's signature features is the Wetland Boating Afternoon Tea, where guests take a traditional rafting boat and enjoy tea while enjoying the scenery. Although there are many restaurants, the price is not cheap, in addition to the 10% service charge, there are also many customers who report that the taste is average, not authentic enough, so do not recommend too much.
Banyan Tree Xixi is often compared to Four Seasons Hotel West Lake, both of which are similar in concept and price point as resorts from world-renowned brands, but in terms of room facilities and hotel activities, the former is more advantageous and worth staying.
