The Hangzhou Regal Plaza Hotel (Hangzhou Ruihao Zhongxin Jiudian) is a well-situated and decent Chinese five-star hotel that provides solid four-star service on the Western scale, pleasant and comfortable rooms and, though it could use a bit of renovation here and there, all-around serviceable accommodations.

Located north of West Lake and the tourist center of town, it's a pleasant twenty-minute walk or short cab ride to the lake and many of Hangzhou's better shopping, dining and entertainment areas.
