This summer, I stayed at Xishang Hupao Dongshu, and the summer in the mountains was incredibly comfortable.
I booked the 'Dongshu' room type this summer, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The hotel is nestled in the Hupao mountain forest, a charming old Republican-era building from 1934. It's several degrees cooler here than in the city during summer, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The Dongshu room comes with a private courtyard, offering excellent privacy. The air conditioning in the room was strong, and it was especially pleasant to relax with tea in the courtyard at night.
The butler service was impeccable. They proactively contacted me before check-in, and upon arrival, warm towels and welcome tea were ready. They were responsive to all my requests throughout my stay. They even provided calming tea for turn-down service and a thoughtful souvenir when I left – the attention to detail was impressive. Breakfast at the Yueya Restaurant was semi-buffet style, exquisite and delicious.
If you're looking for a quiet escape from the summer heat by West Lake, Dongshu is an excellent choice. It's uncrowded, beautiful, and perfect for photos.
