Shangri La
Amid spacious forested grounds on the northern lakeshore, this is possibly the most refined and romantic of Hangzhou’s five-star hotels. There's a selection of bars, restaurants and a fitness centre. Top-floor rooms have wonderful lake views.
Crystal Orange Hotel
Trendy Hangzhou hotel housed in a cool colonial-style building with cute balconies and set back across the road from the eastern lakeshore. Very popular so book ahead.
Hangzhou Xihu State Guesthouse
This large resort, set in stunning gardens on the quieter west side of the lake, has historically been the lakeside retreat of China's Communist Party elite. Spread across eight buildings, there are 178 rooms, a golf course, meeting facilities, tennis courts and an indoor pool.
The New Hotel
Despite the name, this place goes back almost 100 years and is housed in three attractive European-style buildings on the northern lakeshore. Standard rooms are ordinary, but there are some nice lake-view options if you pay more.
Zhongshan Hotel
About a 10-minute walk east of the lake, this Hangzhou hotel has clean, modern rooms which are surprisingly quiet. Better value than many of its lakeside rivals.
Ming Town Youth Hostel
Hangzhou's best youth hostel is on the eastern lakeshore in an area dotted with bars, cafes and clubs. There's a variety of basic but well-kept rooms including singles, doubles and dorms. Staff members speak good English and there are all the usual hostel facilities such as laundry room, self-service kitchen and Wi-Fi.
