The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou has received major recognition at the Tatler Best China 2026 Awards, named both Best New Hotel and among the Best 30 Hotels in China.

As the debut property of Shangri-La Signatures, the group’s ultra-luxury brand, this achievement reflects the groups commitment to weaving modern luxury with deep cultural authenticity and environmental stewardship.

Set along the shores of West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the property draws inspiration from a traditional Jiangnan silk merchant’s residence. Through architectural conservation and expressive interior design, The Silk Lakehouse offers an intimate, residential-style retreat that honours Hangzhou’s rich heritage while exemplifying the art and joy of Asian hosting.
