Lakeview Hotel, Hangzhou

The old Lakeview Hotel in Hangchow (Hangzhou) is somewhat mysterious. There is a Lakeview Hotel in Hangzhou today, perhaps built (in 1986 and refurbished in 2005) on the site of the old one. Below you’ll see a postcard of the view from the Lakeview and a newspaper advert for the hotel. I have also posted before about a marvellous brochure the hotel produced in 1937 (here). But I’ve never seen an actual photo of the hotel, if anyone happens to have one? All the usual things Hangzhou still offers – though I’m not sure what happened to the artesian well!! Manager Ginarn Lao remains a total mystery too!
