Boutique Hotels in Jiangsu, China

Pan Pacific Suzhou is one of those rare hotels where the stay itself feels like part of the sightseeing. It combines Suzhou’s classical garden charm with modern comforts in a way that feels both tranquil and indulgent. Garden resort setting The hotel is built in the style of a classical Suzhou garden, with courtyards, covered walkways, sculpted bridges, ponds and pavilions spread over expansive grounds. Walking around the property can feel like wandering through a private scenic park, with many rooms and paths looking directly onto landscaped greenery and traditional architecture. Direct access to Panmen Scenic Area A standout perk is its location right beside the historic Panmen Scenic Area, home to ancient gates, pagodas and canals. Guests typically enjoy complimentary or convenient access via a dedicated entrance, turning morning strolls or evening walks among the illuminated walls and waterways into a daily ritual rather than a rushed excursion. Rooms and views Most rooms offer either serene garden vistas or views over Panmen’s walls, waterways and even Ruiguang Pagoda from some angles. Inside, the rooms pair contemporary comforts like high‑speed internet and workspaces with warm, subtly traditional decor, so you get a sense of place without sacrificing modern convenience. Location and convenience While it feels like a secluded resort, the hotel sits in a prime Suzhou district with easy access to key attractions, shopping and dining. Suzhou Railway Station is only a short drive away and the nearest metro station is about a five‑minute walk, making it straightforward to reach popular gardens and business areas without losing that peaceful “garden retreat” base.

If you visit Yangzhou, this is the only hotel I recommend anyone to stay at. It has the gorgeous Chinese garden that spreads out for miles. I stayed in building 3 (the only building offered on the internet when I booked). The hotel is connected (walk over the bridge) to the Slender Lake. Staff were very courteous and helpful. My room was tidied up everyday. Breakfast was not include in the room rate but there is a Starbuck nearby where I had my morning coffee and pastry. The room has a balcony, overlooking some trees and other building. Most of the restaurants/eateries were closed (probably due to low season). However, there are a lot of local restaurants in the old town area and Guan Dong Street; it costs about 10 Yuans to take a taxi to get there.

When I visited Wuxi for Chinese New Year, I stayed at the Hyatt and was very impressed by its location, facilities, and Chinese restaurant. So, when I brought my parents to Wuxi this time, I chose it again. Even though it's now rebranded as Suning Galaxy, the service is still excellent. I especially want to thank our concierge, Gessia. She contacted me on WeChat a day in advance to understand my request for a quiet room with an extra bed. When we checked in the next day, the extra bed was already set up, and she thoughtfully prepared all the in-room amenities, along with welcome fruits and an additional breakfast. Throughout our stay, Gessia was incredibly responsive and efficient via WeChat whenever we had any questions or needs, which was very reassuring. Every staff member at the hotel was smiling, greeted us proactively, and spoke softly, making us feel very comfortable.

I came to Nanjing with my parents and our stay at the Jinling Hotel was fantastic. The service from Ya Shi Xin Yi was incredibly thoughtful and attentive; they responded to all our needs immediately, showing great care and consideration. The housekeeping service was also very considerate, leaving a little note and placing clean towels under our belongings. This time, we extended our stay for two nights and got to experience both the Jinling and Asia Pacific Towers! The Asia Pacific Tower is newer, while the Jinling Tower, though a bit older, is still spacious and comfortable. All four of our rooms were on high floors, offering expansive, unobstructed views, and the night scenery was particularly outstanding. The breakfast was also rich and delicious. Moreover, the hotel is located in Xinjiekou, right outside you can see Dr. Sun Yat-sen's statue, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. I highly recommend it for anyone traveling with their parents!

The hotel environment is really nice, and the customer service is excellent. Any questions are immediately answered by contacting the front desk or your butler. The hotel also offers a free Hanfu experience, which is a big plus! 👍 It's conveniently located near Pingjiang Road and Guanqian Street, both just a 5-15 minute walk away. The subway station is also very close by.

I specifically chose the Crowne Plaza Suzhou during my trip this time. The price was right, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The hotel looks like a luxurious cruise ship, and the lobby has a grand, high ceiling. Every photo I took looked upscale, especially with all the Christmas decorations now that it's close to Christmas. There's a big, beautiful Christmas tree right as you walk in. When I checked in, I was given a lake-view room, and the view was absolutely stunning. Golden Rooster Lake is right outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and when the lights come on at night, you can take in the entire city's brilliance. During my stay, the service details were also very thoughtful. Cecelia and Layla were both smiling, warm, and attentive. The bellhop proactively helped with my luggage the whole time, and check-in was efficient and quick. The breakfast selection was so rich it was hard to choose; I had a bowl of Suzhou-style noodles, and the freshly made omelet was also great. Most importantly, the hotel's location is super convenient. You can walk to the Jinji Lake scenic area, and in the evening, if you have time, you can take a stroll on the boardwalk downstairs. I highly recommend everyone stay here when visiting Suzhou!

Facilities: Average Cleanliness: Average. I understand not being able to open windows on the 71st floor, but the room was so dry my nose bled and my throat hurt, which was very uncomfortable. They really should add a humidifier. Because it was so dry, any movement in the room stirred up a lot of dust. This isn't a problem with the cleaning staff, but rather the extreme dryness of the room. Environment: The view outside the window is indeed nice, very impressive. Service: Average 1. We booked a room type that should have been around the 66th floor, but we were upgraded to the 71st floor, which I really appreciate. 2. I booked the room through Ctrip, and Ctrip indicated that my credit was sufficient and no deposit was needed. However, at check-in, I was still required to pay an additional 1111 as a deposit, which contradicted what Ctrip said. I completely understand paying a deposit, but why was it 1111, then became 1110.98? 3. When booking, it showed complimentary welcome fruit, but we didn't receive any. I always stay in five-star hotels when traveling, and welcome fruit is always placed directly in the room; I've never had to ask for it like this. And I only remembered and asked about it on the second night, and then they told me I had to go pick it up myself. Summary: The outdoor scenery is beautiful, but the night view has too much reflection on the glass to get a good photo (I used a DJI, and even post-processing couldn't remove it). The third picture is a daytime shot from the 71st floor. Honestly, you can get great photos from the 45th floor (second video), so booking a standard room is sufficient. Especially after seeing the comparison (first video).

Great location for our purpose. Walking distance to badminton stadium. Hotel design is very unique and room is spacious too!

New hotel, friendly staff but is going to be outdated soon. Bad sound proofing , lots of drunk Chinese people shouting in the corridor at night time. The breakfast variety is so poor for Europeans. Please teach your staff in the restaurant to cook sunny side up eggs and refill the dishes without reminding. Overall, it’s not “real Hilton” experience.

Everything was top tier. From the check-in where I was upgraded to a river view room, the clean, spacious and inviting room to the service and superb breakfast. The view from the restaurant was amazing. This was my pre birthday trip and the Hyatt made it so special. I even got a slice to birthday cake. The lady at the front desk who checked me in spoke really good English and was so kind and caring and she’s also a Gemini 😁🎉 I would 100% recommend and come back here.
