Discover two captivating new stays blending heritage reinvention and urban sophistication in Shaoxing and Hangzhou—curated for discerning travelers seeking culturally immersive experiences.
Mumian Shaoxing, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
A reimagined industrial landmark meets boutique lifestyle sanctuary
Why It’s Special:
Housed within the former Huayue Microelectronics Factory (a 1980s semiconductor plant), this adaptive-reuse project by acclaimed designer Ju Bin and Horizontal Design Team transforms industrial relics into a poetic “organic organism.” Geometric artistry harmonizes with raw textures, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame serene courtyard water gardens and landscaped greenery.
Stay: 90 minimalist-chic rooms and suites (45–205㎡) feature Dyson hairdryers, Tivoli Audio Bluetooth speakers, and tactile materiality.
Indulge:
871 Hub All-Day Dining: A culinary crossroads of Shaoxing flavors and inventive Northeastern Chinese cuisine.
Xingshan Lobby Lounge: Sip artisanal cocktails or afternoon tea amid the tranquil central atrium.
Zen Pavilion & Orchid Tea Rooms: Modern tea rituals in spaces blending ink-wash aesthetics with quiet elegance.
Experience: Join daily art-inspired rituals like the “lighting ceremony,” explore the on-site gallery, or host events in flexible venues (76–82㎡) merging industrial heritage with contemporary flair. Yoga studios, a kids’ club, and curated local tours complete the narrative-driven journey.

Hangzhou Wulin GDA Hotel, Vignette Collection (IHG)
A collector’s residence redefining urban escapism
Why It’s Special:
Perched near the UNESCO-listed West Lake and the Grand Canal, this HBA-designed gem reinterprets Hangzhou’s 1929 West Lake Expo through a “collector’s mansion” lens. Vintage gramophones, seasonal floral installations, and curated art narrate the city’s storied past while celebrating modern luxury.
Stay: 202 refined rooms (32㎡+) and suites (60㎡+) with bespoke furnishings and canal/lake views.
Indulge:
Four dining venues fusing Hangzhou’s culinary heritage with global flair.
A moody jazz bar pairing craft cocktails with vinyl nostalgia.
Experience: Host events in 1,800㎡ of retro-chic event spaces, unwind at the glass-walled pool, or embark on walking tours to West Lake (15 minutes). The hotel’s scent-curated ambiance and tailored “memory-making” itineraries promise stays as unique as the city itself.
