In the morning, at Hangzhou Marriott Hotel Qianjiang, draw back the curtains to overlook the Qiantang River. Fall in love at first sight – let the scenery spill into your room. Sometimes the beauty is your backdrop, sometimes you become the leading role in your own story.

The bloggers on this trip stayed in the hotel’s Deluxe Rooms. Spacious and cleverly blending modern comfort with sleek design, the moment you open the door, the Qiantang River fills your vision – a vast, azure river panorama through the floor-to-ceiling window, truly intoxicating.

On sunny days, you can gaze across at Hangzhou’s city skyline on the opposite bank, with boats gently swaying on the river, making you fall a little in love with this graceful and elegant city. Every corner of the hotel is an Instagram-worthy spot; snap a photo anywhere and it comes out like a masterpiece.

Hangzhou Marriott Hotel Qianjiang lies in Hangzhou, long hailed as 'Paradise on Earth', with exceptional geographical advantages. Situated in the CBD of Qianjiang New City, it neighbors the Hangzhou Grand Theatre, Wave Culture City, Raffles City, and MIXC. Built along the river, it's a new landmark for taking in the spectacular Qiantang River tidal bore. In the evening, don't miss the light show.
