Weddings & Celebrations

Through a succession of tall, ochre, paneled doors, guests will enter the magnificent 1,200-sqm Ballroom—one of the largest in the city—which can cater to up to 800 for cocktails or be closed off to create more intimate function spaces. The sumptuous space is dominated by a glittering lighting fixture inspired by the ripples on West Lake, spanning the entire 5.8-meter high ceiling and comprising 150,000 crystal bars. Beneath it, sumptuous carpeting, upholstered wall paneling and elegant chair slipcovers with black-ribbon detailing set the scene for glamorous events.

Four West Lake function spaces ranging from 85–220 sqm that can accommodate 36–54 guests for cocktails. Three of the West Lake function rooms can be opened up to create an elegant 470-sqm space catering to up to 313 guests. An exclusive and sophisticated venue perfect for weddings, social gatherings, and meetings. The West Lake I can present guests the chic view of the West Lake and the music Fountain at the night.

The entire 2/F of the hotel is now Grand Residence, a multi-functional event venue overlooking West Lake inspired by Chinese calligraphy and painting. Comprising a series of spaces linked to a large, residential style ‘Living Room’ and ‘Kitchen’, Grand Residence is ideal for unique weddings, corporate events, media launches and social gatherings for up to 290 guests. The space adopts a largely monochrome palette; against a pale backdrop, black linear detailing stands out in lighting fixtures, window frames and furniture legs. Modern interpretations of Chinese horseshoe armchairs and lamp bases combine with clean-lined furniture to create an overall look that is contemporary-Asian in feel.

Six Salons ranging from 49–58 sqm—each suitable for up to 30 cocktail guests—can be opened up to create one 309-sqm space that can cater to up to 130 for cocktails.

The central show Kitchen where chefs provide live culinary theatre, preparing dishes à la minute and encouraging guest interaction.

Arriving at Grand Residence, guests enter a vast loft-like space and a Living Room dominated by a striking six-meter wide contemporary take on a Chinese brush painting realized in overlapping leather squares. The area can be set for cocktail parties or coffee breaks and tailored to other individual occasions.
