Scheduled to open on the banks of Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou City in October 2027, the Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort is Minor Hotels’ latest project in China.
The hotel group and its Chinese joint venture Funyard Minor have partnered YouChao International Tourism Hotel to develop the 160-key resort, which blends Anantara’s luxury and lifestyle expertise with the natural beauty of its surroundings.
The property is designed to accommodate a wide range of guests, from solo travellers to families and business travellers. Rooms will range from 62m² to 340m², while dining outlets will include all-day dining, specialty and Chinese restaurants.
Facilities include a fitness centre, swimming pool, spa, tennis court, tea garden, a forest oxygen bar, as well as a multifunctional banquet and meeting space.
“This cooperation marks another significant milestone in our expansion in the Yangtze Delta Region, while also showcasing our deep commitment and confidence in the Chinese market. We look forward to this project bringing positive economic impact to the local community and promoting the sustained development of the tourism industry,” said Eddy Tiftik, vice president of development for Greater China at Minor Hotels Group and a board member of Funyard Minor China.
Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will be located 22km from Qiandaohu Railway Station that links it to tier one cities such as Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing, and 150km from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.
Minor Hotels currently operates four properties in China and plans to grow to 15 properties within the next three years.
