The picturesque city of Hangzhou on China’s celebrated West Lake already boasts a number of opulent properties, including Fuchun Resort, the Shangri-La Hangzhou and the newly opened Amanfayun. Now Four Seasons is throwing its hat into the ring, opening an 85-room resort in a lakeside garden setting on October 1. A Deluxe Room is pictured above. Reservations are currently being accepted. Located 75 miles south of Shanghai, Hangzhou can now also be reached via KLM’s thrice-weekly nonstop flight from Amsterdam.
