ZSHC/HGH - Hangzhou - Manju Hotel - October 2026

This is the perfect hotel but there is no perfect room.  We were given rooms 8817 and 8830.  8830 which looks towards the terminal and 8817 which looks the opposite direction.  Both rooms complemented each other well.  However here are some more notes.

Rooms 8802 through 8817

The best room is probably 8817 however.  It's on the eighth floor.  The windows in this room has a view of the approach to runways 06 and 07 as well as the holding point for Runway 07.  Next to the room is a public area with a view to a gap in the buildings (next to the Loong Air HQ) that allows you to see aircraft taxing to the holding point of Runway 06.  So if 06 and 07 are in use nothing will be missed if you are closely monitoring the tracking sites.

 
If however they are using runways 25 and 24 arrivals turn off before coming into view so will not be seen from this room until they depart.  Alternative rooms with this same view are 8816-8802 but each room gets progressively further away from the public window, so it's further to walk.

Rooms 8823 through 8837

An alternative view can be had from any room between 8823 to 8837 with the lower numbers being the best due to their proximity to the aforementioned window.  The views from these rooms are over the terminal and the approach to runway 25 and runway 24 are visible.  Departures from runway 25 can also be seen.  Departures from runway 24 are visible as long as they lift off quickly and are not too heavy!  However the full climb out is visible from the public window.

General Notes

The rooms a very cheap and bookable via Trip.com, therefore I would suggest if there is more than one of you travelling together you should get separate rooms.  Then ask for one on the front and one on the back to ensure you have both views available.  That's what we ended up doing.  If there is just one person - then ask for the room depending on the runway direction and choose the direction looking towards whichever approach is in use.

The hotel is on the 7th and 8th floor of a service building, so I think all rooms will have some sort of view regardless of what you book.

There is no restaurant but there is a 7-11 convenience store next door where snacks can be bought.  To get to/from the terminal I would recommend getting a Didi (China's answer to Uber).  There is a public transport options, however a Didi cost less than £2 and was very convenient.

ZSHC/HGH - Hangzhou - Landison Airport Hotel - June 2025

The Hyatt and Hyatt Place, while a lot nicer and newer, provide either no decent views (Hyatt) or partial views (Hyatt Place) as they are sitting next to each other (therefore blocking each other) and also face the typical Chinese massive Terminals and their extensions. as a result I chose to stay in the Landison Hotel.  It feels ridiculous but I took a Didi (taxi) there from Terminal 3 and it was a 3 minute ride largely within the airport’s underground car park! The hotel has a shuttle bus but I couldn’t get any number for them to work to request it.  

My advance room request was ignored but upon asking at check in it was honoured – 871/3/5/7 are better and 771/3/5/7 are OK: I had 771.  These rooms overlook the 25L threshold, so anything using 25L, or 07R for departures can be seen.  Everything landing on 07R had vacated before it could be seen and was hidden behind the terminal building.  There are windows at the end of the corridor, by rooms ending in 77 and 78 which allowpart of 25R to be seen.  On the 7^th floor this has been covered in an opaque film: I welcome anyone visiting to continue my work in peeling it back!  

At Hangzhou both runways are used for arrivals and departures, so during the course of my stay many many trips were made to the window at the end of the corridor and thankfully the numerous cleaners around (they have a store room there too) were totally nonplussed by it.

This is more a Chinese style hotel, so you might want to choose the food outlets in the terminal (and English was non-existent). 

There is a lot of overnight parking visible from these rooms.  The hotel is not suitable for photos.
