The Chedi Ninghai

Perched in the mountains outside Ninghai (Ningbo), this spa hotel puts you close to Hengshan Lake, the Yong River and the Ninghai International Convention & Exhibition Center. Qiantong Ancient Town and Zhedong Bamboo Sea are also within easy drive. Ningbo Lishe International Airport (NGB) is about 68.6 km away.

One-hundred individually styled rooms with private balconies, LCD TVs and premium down bedding set a relaxed, upscale tone. Expect in-room perks like complimentary minibar items and Wi‑Fi, plus bathrooms with separate tubs and rainfall showers fed by spring water. The overall vibe leans spa-forward and mountain-chic.

Full-service spa with massages, a fitness center and a seasonal outdoor pool headline the wellness offerings. There’s a poolside bar, bar/lounge, concierge service, gift shop/newsstand and a picnic area for fresh-air hangs. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected while you wake up to crisp mountain air on the balcony.

A business center plus meeting rooms and a 2,433 sq ft (226 sqm) conference space make this a solid pick for events. Express check-in/check-out, dry cleaning and laundry services are available, and free self-parking is offered (onsite parking is limited).

Several on-site dining options include restaurants, a coffee shop/café and bars — including a poolside bar. Room service is available (hours vary), and morning meals range from buffet-style to cooked-to-order breakfast options.
