5-Star Hotels in Jiangsu, China

This hotel is absolutely amazing, probably the best value for money in the world! I usually don't like taking photos, but I couldn't stop snapping pictures at Wu Palace – every shot was perfect. I can't stop thinking about it; it's a must-stay in Suzhou, truly fantastic!

The breakfast selection was extensive, though the service was just average. I really liked the buckwheat pillow. The heated pool had a great temperature, and the changing rooms were equipped with a steam room, sauna, and even a washing machine. The observation deck was a bit of a letdown, perhaps my expectations were too high, but it's easily accessible with your room key. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money. One minor inconvenience is that the hotel starts from the 45th floor, so you always have to take one elevator up to the 45th floor and then switch to another. A big plus is its convenient location right next to a subway station. The first four floors house a shopping mall, which isn't overly crowded and has some dining options.

My stay at the Furong Garden, Building 8, at Yangzhou Xiyuan Hotel was fantastic overall. As hotels with ”Xiyuan” (meaning 'guesthouse' or 'reception hall') in their name often are, the environment truly lived up to its reputation. The garden landscape is beautiful; it felt like I was living right in a park, and morning and evening strolls were incredibly pleasant. Building 8 is relatively new, with elegant and sophisticated decor. The room was spacious and bright, the hygiene details were well taken care of, and the bedding was comfortable, leading to a very peaceful night's sleep. The service also deserves praise. After booking, the staff were all very warm and professional, and any requests were generally met promptly. The breakfast selection was rich, and the local Yangzhou specialties at Quyuan were very authentic and definitely worth trying. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to visit Slender West Lake. It offers both the tranquility of a garden hotel and the convenience of easy access. If you're visiting Yangzhou for travel or a family vacation, Building 8 comes highly recommended. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Yangzhou.

The room was great! Even though it had an older decor, everything was so well-maintained it looked brand new, with hardly any signs of age. The view from the window was especially beautiful. For those booking a Club level room, you can skip the queue at the main lobby and check-in directly at the Club Lounge, which is absolutely worth visiting for its exclusive stunning views. As for Jiangnan灶 (Jiangnan Za), it certainly lives up to its reputation. However, if you're staying at the hotel and want to dine there, you *must* book a day in advance! Book a day in advance! Otherwise, you'll end up waiting in line until you're completely exhausted!

The location is fantastic, with a bustling view of Xinjiekou right outside the window. What impressed me most was the service – friendly, polite, and incredibly responsive. The dining options exceeded expectations; the breakfast was diverse with Nanjng specialties, and the formal meals were exquisitely prepared. The room was well-maintained, clean, and the bedding was comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience. The service was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and responsive. We had dinner at the hotel, and the food quality was surprisingly good. I especially want to commend the Jia Restaurant on the 56th floor of the Asia Pacific Tower. On our first night, we tried their mini hotpot, and the two single sets were more than enough for two people. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic, promptly helping with drinks, clearing plates, and cooking items. We also loved the buffet selection! We had such a happy meal! The next morning, we debated between the ground floor breakfast buffet and the 56th-floor one, but decided to go back to the 56th floor – and we were so glad we did! It was another wonderful experience, feeling right at home. There were many dishes available in the morning. For instance, a waitress kindly cut the Jinling large meat bun for us so we could each have half, which we really appreciated. A big thank you to CY and MYF from Jia Restaurant for their attentive service. The view was also excellent; we could see the beautiful city from our seats. All in all, I highly recommend trying it! I truly appreciate such thoughtful service! We booked afternoon tea at the Executive Lounge, which featured a beautiful birdcage design. The happy hour's light dinner, part of the executive benefits, was also delicious! I had previously celebrated a birthday at Meiyuan, so this time, I decided to try the Pacific Western Restaurant before checking out, which also offered a beautiful setting and attentive service. I feel like I'll be back very soon just for the delicious food.

Room was very spacious, well-kept and the location was great - 5 minutes walk to the train station and surrounded by shopping malls. The staff were attentive to our needs to and quick in meeting our requests. The only downside is that didi cars cannot be driven directly to the hotel lobby entrance and can only pick us up at the office building entrance (same building as Ascott but facing another direction). Other than that, this is a great and convenient place to stay when travelling in Wuxi!

I brought my family here for a birthday celebration. The hotel arranged a birthday setup and gave us a small cake, which was delicious! **Appearance:** The cruise ship design is quite unique, and right across from it is the Gate of the Orient. It's lovely to take a stroll on the boardwalk in the evening. **Interior:** The hotel is a bit older, so some rooms might have a slight odor, but the staff promptly addressed it, which was decent. The sanitation facilities were clean. **Service:** The staff, including those in the breakfast restaurant, Zhenlu Yi Hotpot, and the doormen, were all incredibly warm and polite. (The coffee bar staff, however, were a bit lacking.) **Breakfast:** It's a mix of Chinese and Western options. While the variety isn't huge, everything tasted great, especially the Suzhou-style Aozao noodles! They were so good I had two bowls! There wasn't much fruit though. **Toiletries:** They use BORGESE products, with an orange scent, which was very pleasant.

Just a few minutes' walk from Pingjiang Road and the Humble Administrator's Garden, this hotel offers a quiet retreat right in the heart of Suzhou. There are supermarkets and eateries nearby, and delivery services can reach the hotel. The hotel itself boasts a beautiful Jiangnan-style garden with a water feature, and the pavilions and rockeries look absolutely stunning when lit up at night – perfect for photos! The 'Tianyi Tower' room type I stayed in this time was excellent. The central garden with its water features is incredibly beautiful; during the day, koi fish swim gracefully, and at night, the stone lanterns reflect on the water. Every photo you take here captures that classic Chinese aesthetic, echoing the Ming Dynasty Northern Half Garden's charm, with every step revealing a new picturesque view. The guest rooms feature a new Chinese elegant style. The twin room was spacious, and the magnolia embroidery on the headboard added a lovely touch of Suzhou charm. The bathroom was very well-designed with fluted glass and a circular mirror, and the wet/dry separation was excellent. They even provide Bvlgari White Tea toiletries! The cool, sophisticated white tea scent was absolutely captivating; after showering, the entire room had a subtle tea fragrance, truly showing attention to detail. My only minor gripe was that the water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but otherwise, everything was perfect. The breakfast was authentic and culturally rich. This is definitely a garden-experience hotel you must stay at when visiting Suzhou.

Booked an executive room, got upgraded to a deluxe suite, both the space and the view were satisfying. Had afternoon tea at the executive lounge once; the desserts were pretty good, overlooking Haizhou District from the 41st floor. Also tried the buffet dinner once; it was generally average, nothing particularly outstanding. The room itself didn't feel old, and the facilities were well-maintained. Overall, a positive review. Will consider staying here again next time I visit Lianyungang.

Shangri-La Yangzhou embodies the elegance of Jiangnan, offering a high-end and comfortable experience. The environment is refined and grand, the rooms are quiet and cozy, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a peaceful sleep. The service is attentive and meticulous, and the cuisine at Shang Palace is surprisingly delicious. It was a relaxed and delightful stay, a truly comfortable and fulfilling experience ✨
