Now Open: What to Know Before Booking
Club Med Urban Oasis Hangzhou Longwu opened on 28 April 2026, as confirmed in Fosun’s 30 April 2026 opening report (page 13). This article, checked on 28 October 2026, replaces our pre-opening preview with practical questions to help you plan a stay.
Where Rolling Tea Hills Meet Everyday Hangzhou Life
The resort is in Longwu Tea Town, in Hangzhou’s Xihu district, rather than a lakefront city-centre location. Club Med lists the address as 200 Caiqing Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou. Its tea-country setting is an important part of choosing this stay.
If your priority is sightseeing around West Lake and central Hangzhou every day, compare the journey from Longwu with a city hotel before choosing your base. If you want time at the resort as well as a taste of Hangzhou, consider splitting the trip between the two. Keep the resort name and Chinese address from your confirmation ready for your driver.
The resort’s Song-inspired design and tea setting give it a different focus from a beach holiday or a ski trip. This is a planning guide based on published information, not a first-hand review of a completed Hangzhou Longwu stay.
For room categories and a date-specific quotation, use our Club Med Urban Oasis Longwu resort page. Here, the focus is on how to choose the package and fit the resort into your wider itinerary.
Choosing a Room for Your Travel Party
Fosun’s opening report records 260 rooms, with entry-level rooms starting at 55 square metres. Floor area alone does not tell you whether a room is right for your family: compare the actual bed configuration, permitted occupancy and any extra-person charge.
If a family suite, children’s play feature, bathtub, balcony or courtyard is important, ask for the exact room name and its confirmed features before paying. Do not assume every room has the layout shown in the photos. For young children or travellers with limited mobility, also ask about steps, lift access and the distance to dining and activity areas.
Room & Breakfast or All-Inclusive: Check the Difference
Club Med’s official Joyview and Urban Oasis page describes two booking formats: Room & Breakfast and All-Inclusive Package. The brand name does not mean every Hangzhou Longwu rate includes every meal, drink or activity. Confirm which format is available for your dates and request the written inclusions.
A breakfast-based stay can make sense if you plan to spend much of the day exploring and eating outside. An all-inclusive package is worth comparing if you expect to spend more time at the resort. Compare the total for the same dates, room and number of guests, not just the headline room price. Check which restaurants, meals and drinks are covered; whether specialist dining, tea experiences, private sessions or equipment incur extra charges; and when benefits begin and end on arrival and departure days.
Activities, Childcare and Group Stays: Questions to Ask
For family trips, ask for the activity programme applicable to your stay, including indoor options for wet weather. Confirm your child’s age eligibility, supervision arrangements, session hours, advance registration and any childcare charge. Access to a children’s play area is not the same as a supervised childcare session. Tea-related experiences may depend on the programme and season; do not build the trip around an unconfirmed session.
For a meeting, celebration or corporate offsite, request a separate written proposal covering room allocation, event space, catering, equipment and private activities. A leisure package should not be assumed to include a private function or exclusive venue use.
How Longwu Fits a Short Hangzhou Break
Our suggested approach is to decide how much resort time you actually want before choosing the meal plan. For a short stay, leave arrival day flexible, keep one substantial block of time for the resort, and put any city sightseeing on a separate day or hotel stay. This is an itinerary suggestion, not an included excursion programme.
Read our Joyview and Urban Oasis explainer for the broader product differences. Before travelling from Malaysia, check entry requirements for your own passport and itinerary, and see our updated China arrival-card guide. Arrange airport or railway-station transfers explicitly; do not assume they are part of a room package.
