Banyan Tree Anji Hotel, Huzhou

It is only an hour’s drive from the teeming metropolis of Hangzhou, yet the Banyan Tree Anji is worlds away. Surrounded by bamboo forests, tranquil lakes and gentle valleys, this exclusive eco-resort exudes the calm and seclusion of a monastery—albeit a very luxurious one. The property includes a golf course, an equestrian club and a spa. With its unique blend of contemporary décor and Buddhist tradition, the Banyan Tree Anji offers visitors a holistic space in which to retreat from the hectic pace of daily life. No wonder the bathrooms feature products from the AXOR Citterio collection.
