One Thousand Island Lake Resort
Nature-forward luxury resort with a calm, secluded peninsula setting. Think forest walks, lake views from every room, organic farm-to-table dining, and a Club Lounge that genuinely earns its keep. Not a party resort — this is firmly in the 'escape and decompress' camp.
Request a lake-facing room, not a garden-view room — the difference in the view is significant
Why It Matters
The only hotel on the private Xianshan Peninsula on Qiandao Lake. The setting is genuinely hard to rival: private pier, yacht club, a botanical garden on site, and views across more than 1,000 islands. It's also the sole InterContinental-branded luxury property on the lake.
Qiandao Lake — a reservoir dotted with 1,078 forested islands in Zhejiang province — is one of those places that makes you question why you ever bother with cities. This resort sits at the very tip of the Xianshan Peninsula, and it's the only hotel out here. The lake wraps around you on multiple sides. On clear mornings you can watch mist drift between the islands from your balcony. The 264 rooms are modern with deliberate nods to local Zhejiang craftsmanship, and the resort covers 37,000 sqm of grounds with 91% forest coverage across 10,000 acres of the wider peninsula.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
The entry point here, and still solidly generous. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony are standard across all rooms. Some face the forested hillside, others look out to the lake. All have the spa-style bathroom with a walk-in rainforest rain shower and separate bathtub.
Club InterContinental Room
Access to the Club InterContinental Lounge is the real draw here — a dedicated lounge with direct lake views, buffet area, private meeting room, living room, and outdoor patio balcony. Afternoon tea and evening happy hour are included. Room design follows the modern-Zhejiang aesthetic with minibar and in-room safe.
Garden View One Bedroom Suite
One-bedroom suite with a garden/forest outlook. Separate living and sleeping areas. Good option for a longer stay or those who want more space without the premium lake-facing pricing.
Lake View Suite
Direct lake-facing suite with expansive views over Qiandao Lake and its islands. The suites are universally spacious across the property, with the design philosophy leaning into the natural surroundings rather than competing with them — understated interiors, large windows.
Presidential Suite
The top of the house. Full presidential-level space and amenities. Ideal for events, extended family stays, or anyone who wants the most room on the peninsula.
Twin Deluxe Garden View Room
Significantly larger than the standard at 79 sqm. Two king-sized beds in separate sections of the room, with a sliding door that can divide the space into two bedrooms — practical for family groups. Mountain/forest outlook.
79 sqmTwin Garden View Room
Twin-bed setup facing the forested Xianshan hillside rather than the open lake. At 45 sqm, it's a solid standard room — comfortable for two, good for families who prefer the mountain outlook.
