Tucked away in the heart of the lush forest by the South Yangtze River, Vallie Hotel is a picturesque romantic escape from another era.
Those looking for utmost privacy would appreciate the location and quietude of Vallie Hotel. Formerly homes to local tea farmers, the restored buildings blend beautifully into the tree-filled landscape. Minimalist furnishings, white linens and exposed wooden beams make each generously-sized room a calm and relaxing space.
All rooms come with heated private pools filled with water from the nearby Hupao Tiger Spring, and some also feature private courtyards and living rooms for entertaining guests.
For those looking to explore the surroundings, the hotel is in close proximity of Liuhe Pagoda, which towers above the trees and offers stunning views over the Qiantang River.
The low-key hotel’s French gastro lounge SHIJIU is highly lauded on social media, and has guests specially coming to the secluded valley to visit.
By day the gastro lounge serves a sumptuous afternoon tea encircled amongst nature while it transforms into a fine-dining setting when night falls. For those celebrating special occasions, private dining set within the hotel’s French-style garden can be arranged.
