"We are excited to collaborate with Zhong An Commercial Group to bring W Hotels to Hangzhou," said Gavin Yu, Chief Development Officer, Greater China, Marriott International. "This partnership will allow guests to experience the dynamic culture and rich history of Hangzhou through the unique lens of luxury that W Hotels offers. We are committed to expanding our luxury portfolio in Greater China to meet the evolving needs of global luxury travelers."
W Hangzhou’s prime location on the east bank of the Qiantang River ensures excellent visibility and accessibility, being just 15 kilometers from Hangzhou East Railway Station and 24 kilometers from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. The hotel will be near key landmarks such as the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center and InCity, the largest retail center in the area.
Designed by the prestigious Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, W Hangzhou will occupy the upper floors of a 240-meter skyscraper within the IOC complex. The hotel will feature 270 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, with approximately half offering stunning river views. Guests will enjoy amenities including two signature restaurants, a bar, a swimming pool, a FIT@ fitness center, and the rejuvenating AWAY@ Spa. For events, the hotel will provide a ballroom, a junior ballroom, and four meeting rooms.
"We are thrilled to partner with Marriott International’s Luxury Group on this significant project," said Mr. Shi Guanyu, Vice President of China New City Group and President of Zhong An Commercial Group. "W Hotels is a leading lifestyle brand that aligns perfectly with the vision for the new CBD core in Hangzhou, combining luxury with the vibrant energy of an international hub. This collaboration will bring W’s distinctive design and dynamic spirit to Qianjiang Century City, offering an immersive luxury experience for both visitors and locals."
With over 70 luxury hotels in Greater China, Marriott International continues to expand its luxury footprint. The addition of W Hangzhou underscores Hangzhou’s emerging status as a premier destination for luxury travelers in China.
