The design of the hotel is ultra modern. The large, well-equipped rooms twist round a hollow inside. From Reception you can look up to the ceiling which is nearly 30 floors above. It is an amazing site. My 22nd floor room had spectacular view over the city. Many of the surrounding buildings are decorated with LED lights at night and look amazing. I would recommend taking the breakfast option if offered as it came with a nightly cocktail package and offered great value.
I must make a special mention. Lee, who manages the Regency Club on 28th floor made out stay an absolute pleasure. He made us feel welcome, helped greatly to arrange a trip to the local city of Hangzhou and was full of suggestions about how to spend our time. It can be quite daunting for a Westerner wanting to travel by train in China but Lee even arranged the tickets for us and told us where to pick them up to avoid queuing. I also need to mention the Concierge team. Sabine in particular was brilliant in helping to print off our boarding cards, arrange extra chains for the room, provide ice buckets etc, etc.
