Moxy Qiandao Lake

Qiandao Lake's thousand-plus islands are actually submerged mountain peaks, and somewhere beneath the water sits an entire Han Dynasty city, perfectly preserved. The Moxy is a design-forward hotel inside the Qingxi Yintai City complex, with lake-facing rooms and a Ferris wheel in the yard. Bar Moxy pulls double duty as the front desk, which is the brand's move. Hangzhou is two hours by road, making this a proper escape rather than a stopover.
