Marriott International, Inc. has announced an exciting new venture with Zhong An Commercial Group, a part of China New City Group, to bring the W Hotels brand to Hangzhou. Scheduled to open in 2031, W Hangzhou will be prominently located at the northwest intersection of Minhe Road and Liyi Road in Qianjiang Century City, the burgeoning new central business district (CBD) of Hangzhou.
The W Hangzhou is poised to become a landmark of luxury hospitality in Hangzhou, featuring a bold design, elevated service, and engaging, always-on programming. This strategic location on the east bank of the Qiantang River offers excellent visibility and accessibility, being approximately 15 kilometers from Hangzhou East Railway Station and about 24 kilometers from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.
Designed by the renowned architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, W Hangzhou will occupy the top floors of a 240-meter building within the IOC complex. The hotel will feature 270 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites, with around half offering direct river views, providing guests with a serene and picturesque experience.
The amenities at W Hangzhou will include two signature restaurants, a bar, a swimming pool, a FIT® fitness center, and an AWAY® Spa for rejuvenation. For social events and meetings, the hotel will offer a ballroom, a junior ballroom, and four meeting rooms, making it an ideal venue for various functions.
This new development places guests in proximity to notable landmarks such as the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center and the largest retail center in the area, InCity. The hotel's street-front location ensures that it will become a central feature of Qianjiang Century City, an area rapidly developing into a vibrant international hub.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Zhong An Commercial Group to introduce W Hotels to Hangzhou, inviting guests to indulge in the vibrant culture and dynamic spirit of this historic city through a distinct lens of luxury," said Gavin Yu, Chief Development Officer, Greater China, Marriott International. "We look forward to further expanding our luxury portfolio in Greater China, aligning W Hotels with complementary destinations to cater to the ever-evolving global luxury traveler."
Mr. Shi Guanyu, Vice President of China New City Group of Zhong An Group and President of Zhong An Commercial Group, added, "As a leading lifestyle hospitality brand, W Hotels aligns perfectly with the new CBD core advocated by IOC Hangzhou, where luxury seamlessly blends into the dynamic pulse of an international hub. This collaboration will inject the brand's distinct design and vibrant energy into Qianjiang Century City, providing an immersive luxury experience for both visitors and local residents alike."
With over 70 luxury hotels in Greater China, Marriott International continues to solidify its presence in the region. The addition of W Hangzhou underscores Hangzhou's status as one of China's premier destinations for luxury travelers.
