The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou
Following a journey of meaningful transformation, The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou, officially opened its doors in May 2025. Set along the tranquil shores of West Lake—a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this reimagined retreat marks the debut of Shangri-La Signatures, the new ultra-luxury brand by Shangri-La Group. Honouring its storied past, the property occupies what was formerly the East Wing of Shangri-La Hotel, Hangzhou, part of the Group’s inaugural hotel in Mainland of China, which opened in 1986. Dating back to 1962, the site was home to the historic Xiling Hotel and renowned for hosting visiting dignitaries and state guests. Located within West Lake’s protected zone, the property underwent a landscape-led restoration project to preserve and reinterpret its cultural and architectural legacy. The result is a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary design, where architecture and interiors echo the poetic landscapes of Hangzhou, creating a sanctuary where nature, culture, and modern luxury meet in perfect balance.
