I
have been meaning to go check out the Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou with a friend
of mine for ages now and finally the time came. I am a huge fan of the Four
Seasons Group that if the group comes up in conversation, I try and encourage everyone to stay
at a Four Seasons or even join them to work! It’s hard to explain but once you
enter one of their hotels, it just feels like home to me.
Located
in a tranquil setting, the hotel is nestled amongst the wetlands. Their décor
as they quote 'blends centuries of Chinese tradition with chic designer style.’
We
went to check out their spa and sat down for what could have been nearly 45 minutes
just chatting. We didn’t have a massage that day but they have an extensive
menu from fusion massages to lotus seed and crushed jade body scrub and even a
salon. But what summed up the whole thing for us was a comment my friend made
after we left. Her exact words were” It feels like we just had a massage” and
to be honest it really did feel like it. We left there feeling happy and
relaxed an experience that reminded me of when I use my Copa Cabbana products.
Next, we went to the Lobby Lounge and decided to give their fondue a go, opting out
on their mini buffet. Sitting outside overlooking their pool and garden area
with the sun was just an added bonus. Overall the fondue was good but could
have been even better, reason being the cheese wasn't melted enough which
really is the whole point of a fondue in my opinion. But the smoked salmon with
quail eggs, a touch of caviar and mini pancakes and the ceasar salad with
poached egg and pancetta balanced the meal experience out and left us quite
satisfied.
Overall,
I definitely will be back here again as I said before there is just something
about Four Seasons that always draws you back!
