DC Hotel Hangzhou CBD, part of JdV by Hyatt  

In Hangzhou's bustling CBD, just steps from MIXc Hangzhou mall and Raffles City. Multiple metro lines are about a 10-minute walk away, and it's roughly a 10-minute drive to the city train station and West Lake. Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is about 35 minutes by car.

Modern, bright rooms (209 total) lean practical and smart — over half come with kitchenettes and in-room appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, induction cookers and microwaves. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, safes and air conditioning; contemporary suites add executive perks. The lobby is welcoming and the property works well for family-friendly stays and longer city stays where a kitchenette helps.

Dive into a heated indoor pool or unwind on the outdoor terrace. Stay fit in the health club and gym, or soothe sore muscles in the sauna. Bikes are available through the concierge for city cruises; there's also a barbecue area, onsite parking and laundry/dry-clean services. Shuttle service and self-parking are offered (shuttle for a surcharge).

Six flexible meeting rooms (seating 20–120) with AV and projectors, a business center with printing and ticketing, and complimentary high-speed internet (wired and wireless options) make this a strong pick for corporate groups and events.

The Lounge Cafe serves Asian, Western and local specialties along with buffet options; a coffee shop/cafe and 24-hour room service keep things convenient. Expect familiar international fares and chances to sample regional flavors during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
