Tian Jie Restaurant, loosely translated into “Sky Garden,” specializes in pan-Chinese cuisine while concentrating on Hangzhounese flavors. The melding of different regional cuisines and cultures is reflected in its décor as well as in its food. Tian Jie is aptly named; it is located on the highest floor of the hotel and boasts an amazing view of downtown Hangzhou and the West Lake. The interior of the restaurant is no less impressive; the foyer is lined with marble with cascading waves of wood on the walls and ceiling as an overarching theme.
It was clear to us right from the beginning that the Fukami restaurant at the Sofitel Sheshan was Japanese through and through. A center room filled with natural lighting looks out over a traditional rock garden, and leads into smaller private rooms, some with their own sunken tables, others with dedicated teppanyaki tables.

Of particular interest to foodies, it also boasts four separate on-site restaurants.
