Kempinski Hotel Suzhou

Having stayed at Kempinski in Shanghai before, I knew exactly what to expect—and this trip completely exceeded it. Visiting Suzhou during New Year’s, I chose Kempinski as my top pick, and it was absolutely the right decision. Arriving by car was super convenient, with seamless parking access. The grand lobby immediately impressed me—soaring ceilings adorned with festive holiday decor created an instant magical vibe. To my delight, I was upgraded to a deluxe suite on New Year’s Day, which felt like a dream gift. Special thanks to the front desk team, especially Xiao Lu, for such a thoughtful touch. Stepping into the room, my partner couldn’t stop saying ‘wow’—the panoramic view of Jinji Lake flooded the space with natural light, while the warm interior made it feel cozy and luxurious. The pool is perfect for both adults and kids, with great facilities and a relaxing atmosphere. And the private walkway? A photographer’s paradise—endless opportunities for stunning shots. From start to finish, every detail felt exceptional. This wasn’t just a stay—it was an unforgettable experience. Definitely coming back.

Staying at Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou Yuanqu was an absolute delight. The location is fantastic—right next to 711, FamilyMart, and Starbucks, so grabbing a quick coffee or snack is super convenient. A short walk takes you to Xinguang Plaza and Juyou Department Store, perfect for some shopping without needing to travel far. In the evening, we headed to the Ferris wheel and were pleasantly surprised by how few people were in line—got tickets and boarded right away, enjoying stunning views of the city skyline. The hotel’s Chinese restaurant served amazing noodles with crisp vegetables, and the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish was freshly prepared—absolutely delicious. Breakfast was a highlight too, with a diverse menu including sesame dumplings, Ao Zao noodles, egg rolls, Benedict eggs, sweet pea and pomelo cheese salad, and the yellow peach milk banana pancake—each dish was flavorful and satisfying.

The hotel environment was absolutely delightful—spotless and well-maintained, with a view from the window that opened up to beautiful cityscapes. The street views were peaceful and calming, making every moment in the room feel relaxing. Cleanliness was top-notch: housekeeping came promptly each day, fresh towels were provided daily, and complimentary water was always replenished in time.

Even on chilly days, he remembered to ask about my tea preference and even added extra tea bags when he knew what I liked. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel special. The front desk staff also showed great care by helping carry luggage both upon arrival and departure, which meant so much during a short visit. These small but meaningful gestures left a lasting impression. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it felt like being welcomed into a home.

Garden Hotel SUZHOU

Although the hotel was undergoing renovations to the temple and Building 8, and it was winter, I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the beautiful garden scenery of Nanyuan. Still, the overall experience was outstanding. The staff were exceptional—helping with luggage, offering electric shuttle service between buildings, and ensuring comfort throughout. Even in the evening, the fitness center and swimming pool were warm and inviting, so no worries about getting cold. Breakfast was one of the better ones in this chain: the noodle stall stood out with unique items like sesame brown sugar smoothies and a special vegetarian pan-fried dumpling. Staff were attentive—the moment my mom sat down, someone asked if she wanted soy milk, and three cups arrived right away. The duplex room was spacious, especially the second-floor bedroom, which felt very comfortable. A few facilities could use upgrading—like the showerhead pressure and the small, outdated changing rooms at the pool area. That said, the evening ambiance in the lobby was truly magical: soft melodies from pipa and guqin performances created a peaceful, almost tea-house-like atmosphere. Sitting back with a cup of tea and chatting quietly was incredibly relaxing. Huge thanks to Xiao Yueyue at reception, and all the front desk and concierge team—your warmth and professionalism made a lasting impression.

Staying at this property was a great experience overall. The spacious rooms were one of the biggest highlights—plenty of room to move around, which made the stay feel comfortable and relaxing. The proximity to the metro station is excellent; it’s literally just a short walk away, making it super convenient for getting around the city. While it’s not right next to major attractions, the transit access makes exploring nearby spots easy. The value for money is solid, especially considering the size and location. Breakfast options were basic and could use some improvement, and front desk service had room for enhancement too—but given the price point, these are minor drawbacks. All in all, I’d highly recommend this hotel for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a good balance between cost and quality.

Pullman Suzhou Zhonghui

I really appreciate the room upgrade offered to this returning guest—what a fantastic welcome! All special requests I made during booking were clearly addressed upon check-in, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. During the New Year holiday period, despite the busy schedule, staff across all departments—from front desk to housekeeping and dining—maintained excellent service attitude and professionalism, truly reflecting Pullman’s high standards under Accor’s management. A special shoutout to Betty at reception—your warm smile genuinely brightened my stay! I’m already planning a return visit after the peak season to enjoy the hotel’s full charm without the crowds. One small suggestion: the restaurant currently has only two coffee machines, which seems like the lowest number among Pullman properties I’ve stayed in across Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. With some room for expansion, adding one more machine could significantly enhance the morning coffee experience.

Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou

We ended up switching from the soon-to-be-closed Yangcheng Lake Banyan Tree—our original plan was a last-minute escape. Choosing Four Seasons Suzhou turned out to be one of our best decisions. The location is unbeatable: directly on the lake, with a peaceful walkway along the water that’s easy and relaxing. The hotel itself isn’t huge, so you can easily explore it without feeling overwhelmed. Our room was spacious and well-proportioned, with two single beds and a sofa that converted into an extra bed—perfect for three of us, and we all slept comfortably. We upgraded in-house for a small fee to a higher-floor lake-view room, and the view was absolutely stunning. Waking up to the calm, glass-like surface of Jinji Lake instantly lifted our mood. Dining was a bit tricky—we didn’t pre-book the Chinese restaurant, and every seating was fully booked. We tried the buffet instead, which was solid but nothing extraordinary. Still, compared to the previous hotel where the air conditioning broke in the Chinese restaurant and the Western dining only served breakfast, this was a major improvement. Staff were attentive and genuinely tried to make things right when issues came up—effort definitely shows. One highlight? The little crab buns and children’s key cards they prepared for our kids. They couldn’t stop talking about them, wore the bags everywhere, and insisted on swiping their own card to open the door. It was such a thoughtful touch that won over the whole family.

Staying at this Tonino Lamborghini Hotel in Suzhou was an absolute delight—so much so that I just had to give it a perfect 10! The cleanliness blew me away: every surface, from the bedding to the bathroom fixtures, was spotless. Even the corners were free of dust, and the glassware sparkled like new—truly impressive for a detail-oriented guest like me. The service was equally outstanding—Mandy and Sunny made our check-in seamless and friendly, even upgraded us to a better room without hesitation. They shared thoughtful tips on local attractions and nearby hidden gems, and when I asked for a toiletry kit late at night, it arrived within minutes. Their warmth and attentiveness truly stood out. The design beautifully blends traditional Suzhou garden aesthetics with modern elegance. The view from the window overlooks the fragrant Xiang Garden, making every moment feel like a scene from a film.

If I ever come back to Suzhou, this will be my first choice again. (Photos taken by me with personal camera—no commercial use permitted!)

Hovle Mansion Club & Hotel

We stayed at Hovle Mansion Club & Hotel in Suzhou during the New Year’s holiday with our family, and it was an absolutely perfect choice. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro station, and you’re literally one minute away from the historic Pingjiang Road, where the charm of old Suzhou comes alive. The hotel itself has such a refined atmosphere—so elegant and full of character, making it easy to capture beautiful photos right on the premises. Every staff member we met was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They even surprised us with breakfast vouchers for our child—a thoughtful touch that made the stay extra special. At check-out, the front desk agent, Ms. Wang, went above and beyond by asking if we were satisfied and handed us a small gift as a farewell token. It felt so personal and heartfelt. This trip wasn’t just about sightseeing—it felt like coming home. We left feeling truly cared for, and we’ll definitely return next time we visit Suzhou. Wishing Hovle Mansion Club & Hotel continued success and many more happy guests!
