Anticipated
to open in 2031, W Hangzhou will be located at the northwest intersection of
Minhe Road and Liyi Road in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou’s developing new
CBD. With its bold, detail-driven design, elevated service, and engaging
always-on programming, the hotel is poised to become a new symbol of luxury
hospitality in Hangzhou.
"We
are thrilled to collaborate with Zhong An Commercial Group to introduce W
Hotels to Hangzhou, inviting guests to indulge in the vibrant culture and
dynamic spirit of this historic city through a distinct lens of luxury,”
said Gavin Yu, Chief Development Officer, Greater China, Marriott
International. “We look forward to further expanding our luxury portfolio
in Greater China, aligning W Hotels with complementary destinations to cater to
the ever-evolving global luxury traveler.”
Slated
to open in Hangzhou’s new CBD on the east bank of the Qiantang River, W
Hangzhou’s street-front location ensures excellent visibility and
accessibility, approximately 15 kilometers from Hangzhou East Railway Station
and about 24 kilometers from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. The hotel
is adjacent to renowned landmarks and attractions, including the Hangzhou
Olympic Sports Expo Center, a landmark complex in Qianjiang Century City, and
the largest retail center in the area, InCity.
Designed
by the renowned architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, W Hangzhou
will occupy the top floors of a 240-meter building that will be part of the IOC
complex. The hotel will feature 270 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites,
with approximately half of the rooms offering direct river views for a serene
experience for guests. Guests will be able to enjoy two signature restaurants
and one bar, a swimming pool, a FIT@ fitness center, and the AWAY@ Spa
for rejuvenation. For social events and meetings, the hotel will offer a
ballroom, a junior ballroom and four meeting rooms.
"We
are excited to collaborate with Luxury Group by Marriott International on this
landmark project within the IOC complex in Hangzhou," said Mr. Shi
Guanyu, Vice President of China New City Group of Zhong An Group and President
of Zhong An Commercial Group. " As a leading lifestyle hospitality
brand, W Hotels aligns perfectly with the new CBD core advocated by IOC
Hangzhou, where luxury seamlessly blends into the dynamic pulse of an
international hub. This collaboration will inject the brand’s distinct design
and vibrant energy into Qianjiang Century City, providing an immersive luxury
experience for both visitors and local residents alike."
Marriott
International now boasts over 70 luxury hotels in Greater China. The signing of
W Hangzhou further cements the company’s growing luxury footprint, setting
