5-Star Hotels in Jiangsu, China

Discovered another hidden gem of a hotel in Suzhou! The hotel is very new, with all the facilities in prime condition. The decor is aesthetically pleasing, making both the public areas and the rooms very comfortable and exceptionally well-designed. The lobby bar is also great, offering a very relaxing atmosphere, and there's a wide selection of welcome drinks. Breakfast is good too, featuring local specialties and offering excellent value for money. The service is also top-notch; Suzhou truly excels in this regard. Definitely a hotel worth revisiting!

The hotel boasts elegant and pleasant views, designed by a renowned international firm. Opened in 1999 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, it symbolizes Sino-Singaporean friendship and international influence. The main building's stone facade is made of Jinshan stone from Mudu, a quarry that has since ceased operation. The garden landscaping is top-notch, with each of the 'Eight Views of Wu Palace' offering unique charm. A back exit provides direct access to the Panmen Scenic Area, allowing for day and night exploration. The hotel's restaurants are distinctive, with both the Chinese and Western establishments being superb. The Ruimian Noodle House, a Suzhou-style noodle restaurant, is particularly elegant and authentic!

The hotel is conveniently located directly across the street from Exit 3 of Nanyuan North Road Metro Station, making it easy to hail a taxi. Food delivery is also convenient, with a robot delivering orders directly to your door. The overall decor is very refreshing. You can walk to the Master of the Nets Garden through charming alleyways. If you're visiting at night, be aware that some parts of the return route may be unlit and quite secluded. The front desk upgraded my room, which was spacious and clean. It had a desk, a small sofa, and a coffee table, providing ample space for dining and working. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had good water pressure. The hairdryer is a Laifen, and the Bluetooth speaker is a JBL, both brand new. There's also a garment steamer. The restaurant's offerings are decent, and the prices are reasonable. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

The hotel is located within the Lingnan Guild Hall in the scenic area, right by Shantang Street, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and sightseeing. However, the scenic area has traffic restrictions, and the streets are mainly cobblestone. There are also stairs within the Lingnan Guild Hall, which can be inconvenient if you're carrying luggage or pushing a stroller. The hotel's front desk service is excellent and very welcoming. The rooms are meticulously cleaned, and they even offer laundry service, which is a big plus! The hotel has a garden-style design, with a beautiful koi pond that's great for photos and where you can feed the fish. Although it's in a scenic area, the hotel rooms are quite quiet, and there were various complimentary services that unfortunately I didn't get to use. I'll definitely come back again! Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at The Lalu Hotel Nanjing and had a fantastic experience. As soon as my taxi pulled up, a staff member opened the door for me and helped with my luggage. During check-in, my bags were delivered directly to my room, and the butler even helped me pick up my takeout orders multiple times. The room was beautiful, and the river view was stunning. The hotel itself is quite large, with an impressive lobby and a spacious lawn. I particularly enjoyed the pistachio chocolate cake sold in the lobby – it was delicious! Outside, there are three adorable geese named Coco, Lele, and Guoguo. In the evenings, small treats were delivered to my room. When I checked out, the staff gave me a complimentary souvenir – pineapple cakes that were perfectly sweet and not overly so. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay!

Last May Day, we visited the Club Med in Taicang, and the GOs recommended the newly opened Club Med in Nanjing. This summer, I brought my child here for a weekend (three days, two nights) during the school holidays, and the experience was fantastic, definitely a full five-star rating! **Accommodation:** The rooms were clean and tidy, and the housekeeping was meticulous. The cleaning staff were very friendly and patient, always refilling our drinking water. The resort grounds are spacious and comfortable, with excellent natural surroundings. You can overlook the lake from the balcony, offering a wide and open view. **Activities:** There are plenty of facilities for play, both indoors and outdoors. We happened to be here during a heatwave, so we mostly opted for indoor activities. The indoor sports area includes basketball, badminton, table tennis, billiards, and rock climbing, as well as a 'parkour' area (similar to an adventure course) that my child loved, which we visited for two consecutive days. You can also book KTV sessions. When it's hot, you can also sit at the U Bar and play cards, which is very relaxing. Outdoor activities are also abundant. You can cross a bridge to 'Explore Park,' where you can try archery, kayaking, windsurfing, or even the 'flying trapeze.' However, the flying trapeze requires training, and you need to be able to hang from a bar with both hands for at least ten counts. Neither of us had that much grip strength (we could only manage up to five), so we just watched other 'experts' try it. Kayaking was quite nice; the lake water was clear, and there were little ducks swimming around. It's best to go in the late afternoon, around 5-6 pm, to avoid the intense sun for a better experience. My sister and I kayaked together, and circling the large lake wasn't tiring at all. It's suitable for mothers or older children with moderate physical fitness. **Service:** The butler service was online throughout our stay, with quick responses and smooth communication. Whether it was booking activities or requesting supplies, they responded and handled everything promptly. When we wanted a clothes drying rack for our swimwear on the balcony after swimming, it was provided very quickly, which was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Being peak summer holiday season, the restaurant entrance traffic was also managed efficiently; just stating your room number allowed for quick entry, which was very user-friendly. Here, you can shed your fatigue and quietly enjoy your holiday. I'm already planning to come back when the weather isn't so scorching (the 'furnace city' reputation is certainly well-deserved). **Two additional points:** There's an external food delivery pick-up point near the entrance, which is very convenient. I also loved the hotel's lighting fixtures; they were very artistic. Finally, a big thank you to our butler, KIKI Angel, for the excellent service!

This was my second stay here, and it's definitely one of the best hotels I've experienced in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region, both in terms of hardware and software. The location is excellent, right in Suzhou's old town, very close to the Master of the Nets Garden and Canglang Pavilion, making it convenient to get around. I highly recommend their courtyard rooms. Each has a small garden at the front and back, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of a classical garden without even leaving your room. Especially with the recent frequent rain, sitting in the courtyard and admiring the garden in the rain often creates a beautiful ambiance. The hotel restaurant has a Black Pearl One Diamond rating in Suzhou, and the food is truly outstanding. Enjoying the breakfast buffet in the morning is pure bliss! They must have an excellent pastry chef because the Western pastries at breakfast are incredibly rich and truly stand out. Their Suzhou-style dim sum is also just as good as what you'd find in famous old shops outside, saving you the trouble of searching for good food. You can be very satisfied with your meals right here at the hotel. 😁 This time, I'm especially grateful to our butler, Vickey. She's the warmest and most helpful butler I've ever encountered at a hotel, providing a lot of assistance and genuinely solving problems. The service at this hotel is truly excellent, making the entire stay very comfortable. I'll definitely be back! 😘

The hotel is located near Pingjiang Road, right in the heart of the Pingjiang Historic District. While getting in and out by taxi can be a bit of a hassle due to traffic, the prime location means you can enjoy a pleasant stroll along Pingjiang Road in the evening and early morning when it's less crowded. The hotel's architecture is a typical garden-style, and naturally, many tourists stop by to take photos at the entrance, which gives you a nice sense of exclusivity when staying there. Once inside, the decor and arrangements are meticulously designed. The room facilities are complete and very new. The butler service is exceptional, and there's even a thoughtful driver to take you to attractions. All in all, a truly wonderful experience!

The hotel is ideally located in the downtown shopping district, making getting around extremely convenient. To get to Huishan Ancient Town and Nanchang Street, there are bus stops just across the street, which are even more convenient than the metro when there’s no traffic. Donglin Academy is also within walking distance. The property is well-maintained and the swimming pool includes a hot tub—overall, a great choice for a relaxing getaway.

We booked a private family room, and the housekeeper, Ms. Zhou, checked us in and took us to the guest room. The room has a large bed and a small bed. The bathing pool is in the yard. If you need to soak in the hot spring, just tell Ms. Zhou and she will happily come over and help fill the hot spring water. She is a very nice person. I really like her. No. I had to go to the public hot springs to soak with others, it was very comfortable. I also went to Nanshan Bamboo Sea. The air was very good. I had a very good accommodation experience this time. I will go there often in the future!
