The bustling downtown core will soon welcome a Four Seasons hotel as part of the highly anticipated Hangzhou Centre mixed-use development project
TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2023 — In partnership with Greentown China Holdings Limited, China Resources Land Limited and Hangzhou Metro Development Company Limited, luxury hospitality company Four Seasons will open its second Hotel in Hangzhou, China in 2024.
At the heart of the city’s newest mixed-use development project, Hangzhou Centre Towers, Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre will offer a luxury hospitality experience inspired by the timeless elegance of the city’s natural landscape.
