[2025 Hangzhou Hotels] Travel Guide for Hangzhou Xizi Makeup｜YOUNG•IS•FASHINO•Design Hotel (West Lake Scenic Area Zhejiang First Hospital) (Updated Jul)

When my bestie 👭 came to Hangzhou for a visit, I originally planned to play the gracious host and book a hotel by West Lake 🏨 for convenient sightseeing and photo ops. But she surprised me by doing tons of research beforehand and ended up recommending ME, a local, this absolute gem—Xizi Makeup Designer Hotel. Staying here was nothing short of legendary! First, let’s talk value for money. The rooms are compact but fully equipped, with super cozy bedding and impeccably clean, stylish bathrooms. The best part? The price is a few hundred yuan cheaper than similar-tier hotels by West Lake, making it a no-brainer for students or bestie trips. I thought my friend 👭 was just after a good deal, but it turns out she was totally smitten by their Hanfu makeup and styling services! 🥳 🎨 The hotel has a dedicated makeup and styling area with an incredible selection of Hanfu styles—Song, Ming, and Tang dynasty designs, all stunningly detailed. The makeup artist’s skills were next-level. I opted for a pink Tang-style outfit, and the hairstyle was flawlessly voluminous and dynamic, with even the tiniest wisps of hair styled to perfection. It looked even more exquisite than the high-end makeup I’d paid hundreds for at West Lake! 🏨 Not in the mood to brave the heat? No problem—the hotel has dedicated photo zones 🎬, which is such a thoughtful touch! 👍 When we ventured out to West Lake and Southern Song Imperial Street, strangers kept asking where we got our makeup done. That’s how gorgeous it was. Staying here also saves you the cost of renting Hanfu at tourist spots, and you can just head back to the hotel to freshen up after shooting—so convenient! 💡 For sisters visiting Hangzhou who want to rock Hanfu and take stunning photos, I wholeheartedly recommend this place! The value and quality of the makeup and styling are unbeatable. You’ll stay in comfort and leave with breathtaking shots—my bestie 👭 and I agreed this trip was worth every penny!

Take the sightseeing bus instead of walking if you can! Choose the large boats (with AC) over small boats~ Plus, it's summer vacation—accommodations near West Lake are quite tight~ The place I got my makeup done—Xizi Makeup Hanfu Hotel They not only offer Hanfu styling 💄 But also lodging, averaging just 100+💰 Perfect for young travelers visiting Hangzhou! Beyond West Lake, you can explore museums like: Zhejiang Museum (Gushan Branch), Hangzhou Museum, Zhejiang Art Museum… Best part? They're all indoors with AC!

🌿 Summer photoshoots in Hangzhou often come with two major headaches: crowded attractions and scorching sun—waiting in line for the perfect shot, sweaty makeup, and curious onlookers... As someone who’s socially anxious, I opted mostly for indoor shoots this time, saving the outdoor spots for dusk. Not only did I catch the sunset, but it was also much cooler—unexpectedly unlocking the perfect combo of "fewer crowds + stunning scenery + creative freedom"! The Xizi Makeup Hotel I booked offers free Hanfu rentals, with accommodation, Hanfu, and styling all in one package—super convenient! Wearing it indoors is 🆓, but for my more outgoing sisters who want outdoor shoots, rentals are available. If you can do your own ancient-style makeup, you’ll save some 💰 too. Styles range from Tang to Ming dynasty designs. I chose a soft green Warring States robe—elegant and slimming. Since my makeup skills aren’t great, I booked a stylist. The artist was incredibly gentle, giving me a "West Lake makeup" look—subtle arched brows, a touch of rouge on the lips, and a red hair ribbon, instantly evoking the poetic charm of "light or heavy, the makeup always suits." 🥹 If you love ancient-style aesthetics, this place is a must-visit! It eliminates the hassle of extra rentals and is perfect for sisters who want to try Hanfu on a budget.

| Save big on photo studio costs. Guys, I had an amazing Hanfu experience in Hangzhou, and it was absolutely stunning! I must recommend this hotel near West Lake—not only can you enjoy gorgeous Hanfu makeup and styling, but the transportation is super convenient too 🚇. Right by West Lake, the Xizi Zhuang Hanfu Hotel in Jinhe Building is just a short walk from the lake, where you can admire the views and sunset—it's unbelievably beautiful. There are so many Hanfu options; I picked a light green one and strolled around taking photos. The area is packed with great food and shopping spots. At night, head to Hubin Intime City (IN77) for some retail therapy and delicious eats—double the fun! 🏨 Hotel Environment: It's compact, with cozy rooms perfect for one or two people. Changing and freshening up for makeup and styling is easy in the room. Compared to a photo studio, this place offers better value and more creative freedom. Bring your photo-savvy bestie and save thousands on professional photos—how awesome is that?? The rooms are clean, tidy, and well-equipped. 🎀 Hanfu Makeup & Styling Experience: The hotel has a dedicated Hanfu studio with a huge variety of outfits—Qixiong Ruqun, Song-style Hanfu, Ming-style Hanfu… you name it!
