Today I officially checked into Lakeview Hotel Hangzhou and when I opened the door of the lake facing room I had booked, my first impression was the sincerity of the old hotel's space. In the prime location of the West Lake core scenic area, there is no sense of cramped feeling like many lake facing hotels. The intelligent lighting system of the whole house is the first surprise. When people walk to the door, the light will automatically light up slowly without looking for the switch in the dark. The panoramic french window near the window almost cover the whole wall. When the curtains are opened, the lake surface of the West Lake, the distant bridge and the Baochu Tower directly hit the eyes, and even the wind can drill through the half open window, bringing the unique moist grass and wood fragrance of the West Lake.
The office area design of the room is particularly thoughtful, with a 1.2-meter-wide solid wood tabletop that is flat and spacious. The laptop, hand drawn tablet, and several travelogues of West Lake that I brought can be unfolded at the same time. There are at least six different specifications of fast charging ports hidden around the desktop, Type-C、USB、 The three hole socket is fully covered, allowing for simultaneous power supply to all devices without the need to drag and drop power strips everywhere. There is a specially designed adjustable angle reading light next to the desktop, which provides warm light without glaring. After changing the plan late at night, flipping through a few pages of the book will not shake your eyes at all.

Today, I carefully searched every facility in the room and discovered many hidden intentions in the details. The mattress in the sleeping area is a customized design with moderate softness and hardness, and the spring support is just right. When lying on the side, the shoulders and waist will not hang and become sour. The four piece set is made of high count pure cotton material, which feels soft but not smooth at all, and there is no discomfort of a strange hotel when lying down. There are independent control panels installed on both sides of the bed, which allow you to control the lighting, curtains, and air conditioning temperature without getting up. There are also two hidden charging ports reserved, so you can directly charge your phone by placing it next to your pillow before going to bed without pulling a long charging cable.
The facilities in the bathroom exceeded expectations, and the dry and wet separation partitions were tightly fitted, so that water vapor did not overflow into the dry area during showering. The constant temperature hot water system produces water quickly and steadily, with hot water coming out in less than ten seconds after turning on the faucet. The water pressure is gentle and does not flush, unlike many hotels that experience sudden changes in temperature. The customized anti slip pad is placed in the center of the shower area, providing ample friction when stepped on, so there is no need to worry about slipping. The mirror of the washbasin has been treated with anti fog technology. After taking a hot shower, the mirror is clean and tidy, and you don't need to wipe it with a towel to tidy up your appearance.
October 14th, Saturday, sunny
On the third day of staying, I realized many thoughtful facilities that I hadn't noticed before. The small coffee table by the window is adjustable. It can be raised to a normal height when you want to sit and drink tea, or lowered when you want to collapse on the bay window mat to enjoy the lake view. The tea set is made of a complete set of celadon material, and the hotel has prepared authentic West Lake Longjing tea in advance. After soaking, the whole room is filled with the fragrance of tea. In addition to regular bathrobes and slippers, there are also free dehumidifiers and humidifiers hidden in the wardrobe. The air humidity near West Lake is high and can be adjusted according to one's own body feeling. All the drinks in the mini bar are free, and the local West Lake beer and osmanthus soda have been chilled. After visiting West Lake, open a bottle and the cool breeze instantly relieves all fatigue.
After three days of living, there were no flower racks in any of the facilities, each one tailored to the actual usage habits of the guests, and cleverly incorporated the scenery of West Lake into the details of the facilities. Compared to many new hotels that rely on internet celebrity designs to attract attention, the room facilities of Lakeview Hotel Hangzhou are the kind of down-to-earth consideration for guests, making every moment of stay comfortable and at ease.Show more
