About This Guide
Hangzhou has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Banyan Tree Hangzhou, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Novotel Hangzhou offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Songtsam Retreat at Nujia provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Hangzhou, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Pack your pet's favourite bed or blanket to help them settle in unfamiliar surroundings.
Ask the concierge for pet-friendly restaurant recommendations near the hotel.
Research Hangzhou's parks and green spaces before arrival for exercise options.
Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Xixi
Villa-style suites on the wetland lagoons of Xixi National Park — each private pool faces a waterway busy with egrets and kingfishers. Banyan Tree's signature spa therapies, a fleet of private boats, and the Rain Flower restaurant serving lakeside Jiangnan cuisine make this an exceptional retreat for couples.
Binjiang
Reliable, smartly designed, and well-positioned in the technology corridor south of the river — a favourite with business visitors to Alibaba's headquarters. Rooms are bright with good connectivity, the rooftop bar has mountain views, and the subway puts the lake within twenty minutes.
Tianmu Mountain
Songtsam's Yunnan-born design vocabulary — rough stone, pine, and clay — translates surprisingly well to Zhejiang's mountain landscape. Just 21 rooms amid the cloud forests of Tianmu Mountain, with guided forest-bathing, traditional medicine consultations, and a wood-fire sauna fed by mountain spring water.
Fuyang
Perched on a hillside above the Fuchun River — the landscape immortalised in the famous Yuan Dynasty scroll — Fuchun Resort offers villas and suites facing tea terraces and water meadows. The resort's Taoist wellness philosophy, its ceramics workshop, and the stunning infinity pool make it one of China's great nature retreats.
West Lake
Minimalist white curves on the western shore, close enough to the Su Causeway to hear the willows. The InterContinental's West Lake-facing rooms are among the most photographed hotel interiors in China — floor-to-ceiling glass, a cloud-white bed, and the Leifeng Pagoda perfectly framed.
Longjing
A converted tea farmer's estate in the Longjing Dragon Well tea gardens — just eight suites amid hectares of terraced green. Mornings are spent hand-picking tea with local farmers; evenings in a cedar soaking tub on your private terrace as the hills turn violet. The most genuinely local luxury experience in the Hangzhou region.
