Great location, but not recommended for Westerners

Location on West Lake

A very upmarket but very Chinese hotel, geared to serve the party leaders. No non-smoking rooms! No smoking signs everywhere, ignored by all. In similar vein, nowhere at all to sit down and relax outside looking over the lake with a beer in hand! Expensive, but not good enough to justify the expense. Aircon not working and mould around the shower were not indicators for the mooted five star rating. The European Cafe sounds good but is nothing of the sort, with (limited) but very poor representations of Western food. And the 'bar'...is more like a nightclub! As we cycled in after our days out (not a hotel to linger in!)...the army guards (not found at ANY other hotel in China) shouted 'halt'. And that is about as welcome as we felt! Unless you're heavily into expensive Chinese quasi luxury..this is a hotel to avoid.
