Lake location
Scheduled to open on the banks of Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou City in October 2027, the 160-key resort will be located at a popular holiday destination in Zhejiang Province.
Spanning a total construction area of 36,000 square metres, the resort is perched on Xin’An, once a major trade centre on the Silk Road. Picturesque mountain villages and fishing adventures at Longchuanwan National Fishing Centre surround it.
The property is designed to accommodate a wide range of needs, with extensive banquet and meeting space and multiple recreational facilities, including a fitness centre, swimming pool, spa, tennis court, tea garden, and a forest oxygen bar.
In addition to rooms ranging in size from 62 to 340 square meters, dining outlets at Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will include all-day dining, specialty and Chinese restaurants.
