Situated along the West Lake, the city is known for its beautiful scenery and sightseeing spots.

The city is also transforming at an incredible pace with a strong emphasis on the quality of life while retaining its identity as one of the country's cultural capitals.

There is strong cooperation between the city government, tourism commission and the hotel association to bring more international guests, meetings, conferences and companies to Hangzhou. The infrastructure is improving with the expanded international airport and high-speed train connections to Shanghai, Beijing, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province and Xiamen, Fujian Province.

The newly opened InterContinental Hangzhou, also known as the Sun of Hangzhou, is one of the latest landmarks in the city. In Qianjiang New City, the hotel is surrounded by the latest shopping, housing complexes and parks. The hotel is based at the new city center of Hangzhou and with its golden color and round shape looks like a big golden ball. Opposite the hotel is the new opera house, which is designed in the shape of the moon.

The InterContinental features the International Conference Center, which contains 26 meeting rooms. This includes a pillar-less ballroom measuring 1,800 square meters, complete with the latest in audio-video equipment.

Two auditoriums and meeting rooms of various sizes cater to many types of events. The hotel also houses six food and beverage outlets, a spa, 393 spacious rooms, a club lounge and club rooms for those who need a break.

In short, this is a hotel that cannot be missed, where luxury meets authentic service and style.
