Amanfayun

Tranquil resort encompassing 16 rooms, 21 suites and five villas housed by the rustic structures of a former village, amid temples and tea fields near West Lake, 20 minutes from central Hangzhou. Lodgings feature simple but elegant elmwood furniture, lattice screens and rice-paper lanterns, as well as underfloor heating, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi. A stone walkway, once the main street of the village (and still a public thoroughfare) links the resort’s various areas, including a library, a cigar room and an extensive spa with a 65-foot heated outdoor pool. Along the pathway, The Restaurant serves Western cuisine, Hangzhou House offers local specialties and the Tea House features tea grown in surrounding fields. A serene haven providing a glimpse of traditional Chinese culture.
