A "Family Utopia" Tucked Away by West Lake's Sister Lake

It's named "Freedom," and you can tell that this is a hotel that knows how to choose a name. Even after visiting many resorts, when strolling through "Freedom Manor of Xianghu Lake," there are still many bright and refreshing scenes: Cascading waterfalls, rugged rock walls, and lush vegetation, like a "canyon secret realm." For a moment, you'll forget that you're still in Hangzhou. · The building's volume follows the terrain, unfolding around multi-dimensional landscapes. The hotel lobby is located in the middle of the canyon at an altitude of 21m. The nearly 30m-high atrium serves as the hotel's transportation hub. Even the curved design of the corridors resembles a curtain. Ramps run through each floor, and vertical scenic elevators shuttle through the valley. Therefore, in this space with layers and a sense of order, just walking back and forth is very interesting. · Walking with a pregnant friend, she keenly noticed that this is a place that children will definitely like, and it is also a place that can liberate parents. So, even though I am unmarried and have no children, I have also paid attention in advance: The indoor heated swimming pool is inspired by the design of "butterfly breaking out of its cocoon." Paired with rainbow floating boards and water guns, it's simply a water park. Parents can lie on the lounge chairs by the pool and order a special cocktail. Looking up, you can see the starry sky outside the transparent skylight. There is a Freedom Workshop in the manor, which offers weekly handicraft classes—— Pottery, plant rubbing, DIY theatrical masks, and even Yue opera costumes can be experienced. The tool kits are super complete, the teachers provide guidance throughout the process, and the children play until they don't want to leave. · The Kuahu Bridge Site Museum is a 10-minute walk away. Departing from the manor pier, you can enjoy a Xianghu Lake cruise. Of course, if you want to calm the children down, delicious food is essential. Shi Guang All-Day Dining Restaurant, with window seats facing the mountain view. Xiang Ying Restaurant, Mediterranean flavor + Western à la carte. Suitable for a "full meal" after playing. · When resting at night, there are also many thoughtful details in the room: Each room is equipped with a Nespresso capsule coffee machine and a JBL Bluetooth speaker. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + oversized terrace. Opening the window in the morning reveals the sparkling lake or mountain view. The bathroom amenities are thoughtfully prepared for children. Even the toilet is intelligently heated, maximizing comfort for children. In short, it is a destination that I would recommend to families with children. ·
