Park Hyatt Ningbo Resort and Spa

Arranged like a village along the lakeshore, this Park Hyatt sprawls across Dong Qian Lake in pavilions and villas built in a contemporary Chinese style that manages to feel neither pastiche nor corporate. Rooms are straightforwardly categorized, which is refreshing when every other luxury hotel insists yours is "superior" at minimum. The spa leans into traditional Chinese medicine, and a restaurant focuses on local seafood and regional Zhejiang flavors.
