Meet Alex Zhang | Stelliers Greater China 2026 Green Hotelier Finalist

At Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre, sustainability is not about doing less. It is about running the hotel more wisely.

 
 

As Director of Engineering, Alex Zhang challenges a common misconception in luxury hospitality: that going green means guests have to give up comfort.

His approach cuts waste, not service. A small card on every bedside table lets guests choose how often their linens are changed; every guest room also has a smart control system that manages the lighting and temperature.

Alex protects the attentive, luxurious experience guests expect while saving resources more effectively, showing that sustainability and high-quality service go hand in hand.
