[2025 Shaoxing Hotels] Travel Guide for Mumian Shaoxing, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (Updated Jul)

Shaoxing Kapok shouldn't be called a hotel but rather the Kapok Art Gallery|||I noticed the Kapok Hyatt Hotel under renovation during Shaoxing Tiandi's opening last October 1st, and came right after its grand opening this year. It's absolutely worth the 3-hour drive from Shanghai to check out this newly designed hotel by Mr. Ju Bin. The place is filled with artistic sculptures, flowers, greenery, and mesmerizing lighting at every turn - truly an art hotel where every step offers a new view. The lobby bar automatically dims its lights at 8 PM, creating an instant atmospheric shift into bar mode.

In Shaoxing, travel is not about hurried check-ins but a return of body and mind. If you've been wanting to "escape for a while," why not choose a weekend to visit Shaoxing? The newly opened The Kapok Shaoxing, a Hyatt Affinity Hotel, is an exceptionally charming place to stay in this ancient city. It's like a refurbished ancient book—here, even "staying" is a cultural experience. ✔ Location: Situated in the core business district—Shaoxing Tiandi, it boasts a prime spot in the cultural and lifestyle circle. Within a 15-minute drive, you can reach famous attractions like Lu Xun's Hometown, Cangqiao Straight Street, Shen Garden, and the Hometown of the Calligraphy Sage. ✔ Brand: A high-end hotel brand jointly created by China Resources and Hyatt Affinity, with hardware and services that stand the test of time. ✔ Design: Masterminded by top designer Ju Bin and the Horizontal Line Design team, the 871 Chip Factory was transformed, incorporating Shaoxing's regional culture and historical elements. ✔ Amenities: Guest rooms feature architectural geometric art designs, with luxurious and elegant configurations for a more comfortable and relaxing stay. ✅ Shaoxing’s First Hyatt Affinity Hotel ——Top Designers Revitalize an Old Factory Different travel purposes bring entirely different moods and experiences. This trip was made specifically for a new hotel—The Kapok Shaoxing, a Hyatt Affinity Hotel. During its opening, I had the chance to experience and review it, and my verdict is: Far exceeded expectations, worth staying! I was amazed by its style and design, and moved by its service and attention to detail. The hotel is named The Kapok Shaoxing, a Hyatt Affinity Hotel. "Kapok" is China Resources' own high-end hotel brand, while "Hyatt Affinity" is Hyatt's lifestyle brand that blends local culture, together creating a one-of-a-kind hotel in Shaoxing. The hotel is located in Yuecheng’s central business district—Shaoxing Tiandi. This area is not only a new city landmark but also enjoys a prime location in the cultural and lifestyle circle. Within a 15-minute drive, you can easily reach attractions like Lu Xun's Hometown, Cangqiao Straight Street, Shen Garden, and the Hometown of the Calligraphy Sage. The transportation hub is conveniently accessible, with Shaoxing Station just 8 minutes away and Shaoxing North Station only 25 minutes by car. The building retains the original trusses of the 871 Chip Factory, integrating natural greenery, art, and diverse materials into the design space, innovatively deconstructing and depicting the geometric poetry of modern industrial heritage. At the entrance, a specially crafted tree "grows" freely within the space. The old factory’s leftover metal materials are displayed like artworks in the corridors. Paintings emerge under the lighting, infusing the space with soul and warmth. ✅ Elegant and Comfortable Guest Rooms ——Full Marks for Service Details During check-in, the hotel thoughtfully offered a cup of clear tea, a glass of yellow wine coffee, and a warm towel, gently opening the prologue of the journey. Staff delivered the luggage to the room and meticulously introduced the room amenities—full marks for detail. A welcome card and fruit were already prepared. The hotel offers deluxe rooms and suites, ranging from 45㎡ to 205㎡. Rooms feature green-planted sun terraces or geometric street views, blending with nature-inspired interiors to create a comfortable sleep experience. The minibar includes Kapok X Ruins custom craft beer and Kapok X Guyue Longshan custom yellow wine, offering a unique Shaoxing tipsy experience. The evening ritual includes "Starry Night Prelude" and "Yuejun Southern Lyrics," cultural experiences carefully curated by the hotel to surprise guests. The turndown service is heartwarming, providing a steam eye mask and a handwritten note with a hand-drawn Lazy Sheep—truly adorable.

Shaoxing, this charming Jiangnan water town steeped in rich cultural heritage, holds an irresistible allure for travelers like me who prefer slow-paced, relaxed vacations. From the Sanwei Study Room depicted by Lu Xun to the East Lake waters glided by black-canopied boats; from the literary fragrance of the Orchid Pavilion to the poetic romance of Shen Garden's "Hairpin Phoenix," from the lively old streets to the aroma of yellow rice wine wafting along the bluestone alleys. ✅ Art Gallery Meets Hotel ——A Concentrated Essence of Shaoxing's Local Culture The hotel offers a semi-buffet breakfast featuring local Shaoxing snacks: Shaoxing rice cakes, Ciwu hand-pulled noodles, guolatou (pan-fried dough), Shengzhou steamed buns, and yellow rice wine. For main meals, Shaoxing cuisine takes center stage, blending with Jiangzhe flavors to deliver a refined yet locally rooted dining experience. Savory, aromatic, and deeply infused with wine fragrance, each bite of Shaoxing cuisine transports you straight into Jiangnan's ancient alleys. Unpretentious yet masterfully crafted at every turn. Walking through the public areas feels like strolling through an art exhibition. The displayed installations, paintings, and exquisite spatial designs invite guests to pause and admire. 🌟 Awakening Mountains · Lobby Lounge The preserved truss remnants of the 871 Chip Factory, with sunlight filtering through the glass roof, harmonize with the central courtyard water feature, evoking the poetic landscape of Jiangnan. 🌟 Orchid Pavilion · Tea Room Inspired by Chinese culinary arts, the essence of Jiangnan's scenery is captured within this serene space.

Each room is equipped with a Dyson hairdryer, Salvatore Ferragamo bath amenities, Tivoli Audio music systems, Nespresso coffee machines, and Teastone classic tea sets.
