The Best Hotels Near InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort, by the Record
-
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.

Thousand Island Lake spreads across a flooded valley holding more than a thousand islands, and this voco hotel sits on a peninsula with water on three sides of it. The architecture borrows whitewashed walls and dark timber from the regional Hui style, folded into something contemporary. Rooms run to freestanding tubs and lake views; family rooms add bunk beds and play tents for guests who travel with people under four feet tall.
