## Park Hyatt Nirvana: A Serene Jiangnan Dream by Dongqian Lake As our car wound along the lakeside road, the understated grey-tiled roofs and white walls of the Park Hyatt Ningbo came into view. This luxurious sanctuary, transformed from an ancient Jiangnan water village, seamlessly blends traditional architectural elegance with modern sophistication. Upon arrival, May, the Front Office Manager, greeted us with a warm smile that instantly melted away our travel fatigue. With professionalism and attention to detail, she introduced the hotel’s amenities and kindly recommended an upgrade to the Lakeside Suite—a decision that immersed us in a dreamlike Jiangnan experience far beyond our expectations. The Lakeside Suite framed Dongqian Lake like a living ink-wash painting. Each morning, we opened the floor-to-ceiling windows to mist-kissed waters resembling a classical scroll; by dusk, the lake shimmered in amber hues under the setting sun, dotted with distant sailboats. Inside, the suite masterfully balanced traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary comfort—exquisitely carved screens divided the tranquil living space, embroidered cushions complemented modern art pieces, and the freestanding bathtub by the window created the illusion of floating above the lake. The smart bedside control system, allowing us to adjust lighting and curtains with a touch, harmonized technology with timeless elegance. May’s service was nothing short of impeccable. Noticing our preference for quiet mornings, she proactively adjusted housekeeping schedules. When we expressed interest in local flavors, she not only recommended authentic Ningbo restaurants but also hand-drew a map of nearby attractions. These thoughtful, personalized touches transformed a routine stay into a heartfelt experience. At checkout, a carefully prepared gift and a handwritten note from May added the perfect sentimental farewell. Park Hyatt Ningbo redefines luxury through details—not in opulent extravagance, but in the artful fusion of cultural heritage, intuitive service, and refined design. Here, every corner whispers a Jiangnan tale, and every gesture carries genuine warmth. As Dongqian Lake’s waves continue to ripple, the memories woven by this retreat linger, promising our return to this lakeside haven. Also special thanks to Judy Dai and Brown Wang as well. 😊

Great place, fantastic views. I would definitely recommend this place to visit at least once.

Beautiful scenic location and aesthetic spacious facility. Upon arrival the doorman did not greet nor escort us so we had to carry our bags and find our way to the reception. The receptionist were friendly and were happy to oblige when we asked for restaurant recommendations in the city. However, upon check-in, once again we were left on our own accord to find our way to our room, caring our bags (no instructions on how to or guidance to our room). Being a resort, I was surprised when the life guard told me a swimming cap was needed in order to use the pool. This rule was made aware to me only after having entered the pool. A little heads up on the website or during check-in about swimming cap requirements would have been appreciated. Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a steam sauna and jacuzzi in the men’s locker room, something which I do not remember seeing in the facility description online. Unfortunately, it felt like the general hygiene upkeep was not up to standard. For instance, despite being there at seven, first thing in the morning, the floor and showers had a lot of hair. I also decided to not use the men’s jacuzzi as there was visible scum/oil on the surface of the water. Breakfast was lovely with ample variety of western and Chinese foods. Not sure if my experience was as such due to it being an off-season. This place has potential.

Wonderful hotel, room was beautiful and incredibly spacious and the staff were accommodating and most spoke English too.

nice view and good in design
