This must be the joy of staying at a "luxury" hotel!

Hyatt Place Shaoxing Keqiao 📍 A convenient hideaway in the water town I was completely amazed by the location of Hyatt Place Keqiao during my trip to Shaoxing! The hotel sits right by Guazhu Lake—open the window to see sparkling waters, and enjoy morning jogs along the lakeside path with willow trees swaying gently🍃 It's just a 10-minute drive to Keqiao Ancient Town, and classic attractions like Lu Xun's Former Residence and Shen Garden are within a half-hour taxi ride. With a shopping mall right downstairs for bubble tea and convenience stores, it perfectly balances vacation vibes and local life! 🛏 A detail-oriented stay that delights Walking into the room, I was instantly soothed by the warm color palette! The bed faces floor-to-ceiling windows, and with blackout curtains drawn, I slept soundly until natural wake-up time. The mattress was just right—even a picky sleeper like me couldn’t complain. The bathroom has a separate wet area with a spacious shower and strong water pressure🚿 What won me over were the little touches: Jiangnan-style ink paintings, complimentary welcome fruits including Shaoxing’s signature cream pastries, and a huangjiu (rice wine) scented diffuser on the nightstand—immersing me in the ambiance instantly! 💦 A hidden oasis of energy I expected average fitness facilities in a business hotel, but the gym and pool were delightful surprises! The gym has new equipment, and treadmills face the lake—watching sunrise while working out was incredibly motivating🏋️‍♀️ The heated pool, though compact, was peaceful and uncrowded. Post-swim, I enjoyed ginger tea in the lounge. For families, the kids' play area is well-equipped with slides and building blocks, finally allowing parents some me-time! 🍜 A taste of Shaoxing on the tongue Breakfast deserves special praise! Beyond the usual bread and milk, they served freshly made Shaoxing-style Ciwu noodles🍜 with customizable toppings—the pickled greens and shredded pork with thin noodles were mind-blowingly delicious! On my last morning, rushing for a train, the front desk noticed my hurry and packed rice balls, eggs, and soy milk for me—a gesture I’ll remember forever🥰 ⚠️ Super practical tips 1️⃣ Choose a lake-view room! Wake up to Guazhu Lake’s morning mist and enjoy night views. 2️⃣ Shared bikes at the hotel entrance make cycling around Guazhu Lake Park a breeze. 3️⃣ Visit Keqiao Ancient Town at dusk—the lit-up water town scenery is magical. 4️⃣ Don’t miss the huangjiu latte at the lobby bar—a unique way to savor Shaoxing’s flavors!
