Hangzhou Muh Shoou Xixi Hotel sits within the waterways and dense vegetation of the Xixi wetlands, using low pavilions, courtyards and broad glazing to blur the boundary between interior and landscape. Rooms are spacious and subdued, with dark timber, stone and framed views of gardens or water. The outdoor pool and quiet courtyards provide places to pause, while Xi Yin restaurant applies a minimalist approach to local ingredients. A private jetty connects the hotel to boating through the wetlands, giving arrival and exploration a distinctly aquatic rhythm. Central Hangzhou lies beyond the reserve, but the immediate setting remains reeds, ponds and wooded islands.
