Check in to Kempinski Hotel Suzhou at a low price for Women's Day|||March 8th happens to be a Saturday. If you're bored, why not relax at a hotel? My GHA Titanium membership got me a lake view suite upgrade + double breakfast + welcome gift (Chilean wine, worth a couple hundred RMB), although the executive lounge was closed. I ended up paying 355 RMB. At this price, who needs anything else? (Old hotel? Outdated furniture? Dirty carpets? None of that!) Although the hotel's name is Jinji Lake, it's actually located by Dushu Lake. However, the scenery and environment are top-notch. The location is quiet and secluded, surrounded by three things: lush greenery + lake water + villas. Taking a walk by the lake downstairs in the evening, walking the dog... this is the life~

Happy to share a very good location hotel with the best room, services and view! Food are awesome. Room is huge with playground inside it 🫶 Besides, they also have a very good view that faces the lake immediately. A very heartwarming and peaceful hotel ✨❤️ #travelinginchina #suzhou #travel #china

The summer heat is unbearable, but the hotel lobby is very photogenic. A large floor-to-ceiling window faces a lake, which is very similar to the Intercontinental Hong Kong Victoria Harbour, making people feel happy. GHA is very generous, directly upgrading to a 120-square-meter sea view suite, and also giving away fruit and a bottle of red wine. Room 1636 is at the corner with a wide view, you can see both Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, and you can also see the CCTV Headquarters Building in the distance. There is a scenic trail under the window, and you can walk on the trestle bridge for two days. The first day is a typhoon day and the second day is sunny, giving you a different vacation feeling. 1 The children's playground has two areas, indoor and outdoor. Although it is old, it is enough to play. There are two warm water pools in the indoor swimming pool, and there is also a massage effect. There is also a small sand digging area outside. This hotel is unexpectedly suitable for families with children.

📍 Kempinski Hotel Suzhou, No.1 Guobin Road, China Nestled beside the tranquil Jinji Lake, Kempinski Hotel Suzhou is a haven for those seeking a blend of luxury and serenity 🏞️. Imagine waking up to the sprawling views of a lush golf course, right from your room's expansive windows! The hotel boasts a lakeside promenade perfect for those golden hour snaps at sunset or sunrise 📸. For the swimmers, it's a dream with a 50-meter pool and two massage pools to soak your cares away 🏊‍♂️. Step outside and you're in a picturesque setting, where kids play football on the green lawns and weekend weddings add a splash of romance to the lakeside 💒. Just a short drive away, the scenic Ligong Dike beckons with its bustling food scene and photo ops galore 🍜. After a day of exploration, the comfort of your spacious room and the sumptuous buffet breakfast with views of Dushu Lake will recharge you for another day of adventure 🛏️🍳. Kempinski Hotel Suzhou isn't just a stay, it's an experience wrapped in elegance and comfort. Ready to indulge? 🌸

👍️Recommended Reason: A city of Gusu, half a poem of the south of the Yangtze River. Every son and daughter of China surely harbors a dream of the south of the Yangtze. Imagining the light sway of silk fans, dreaming on the Milky Way. If you want to experience the south of the Yangtze, probably a month wouldn't be enough. As for a working stiff like me, taking two days off plus the weekend, I also got to appreciate the charm of the transition from spring to summer in the south of the Yangtze. 📅Travel Strategy: Day1: Suggest taking an early flight, check into the Gusu District. In the afternoon, visit the Canglang Pavilion (play for 1.5h), in the evening choose to tour Panmen at night (play for 1h), then head straight to Shantang Street (play for 1~2h). Day2: In the morning, go to Tiger Hill first (play for 2h), during the hottest part of the day visit Suzhou Museum (play for 2h~3h), after 2 pm go to the Humble Administrator's Garden (play for 1.5h~2h), and before 5 pm enter the Lion Grove Garden (stay until closing), at night take a night tour of Pingjiang Road (play for about 2h). If you take a night tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden, you can swap times with the Lion Grove Garden. Day3: Visit Hanshan Temple in the morning (half a day), in the afternoon switch hotels to Jinji Lake, watch the sunset and night view of Jinji Lake. Day4: Depending on personal transportation status, if time permits, you can take a walk around the neighboring Yangcheng Lake, then return. 🍜Food Strategy: Highly recommend Suzhou-style mung bean soup and crab roe noodles, the refreshing mint in the mung bean soup and the fragrant crab roe noodles are unforgettable. Snacks are one aspect, but I really suggest trying the snow-fleece tofu, lion's head meatballs, boiled white cabbage, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, drunken crab marinated in Huadiao wine, etc., at a big hotel for a dual enjoyment of sight and taste. 🏨Accommodation Strategy: In the city, I strongly recommend the Pan Pacific Suzhou, which offers free admission to Panmen, and most importantly, after 9 pm, the illuminated Panmen is all yours. Another top recommendation is the Wyndham Garden Suzhou, which is right outside Guanqian Street, with Pingjiang Road to the right. Jinji Lake is where Suzhou's high-end hotels are clustered. Hyatt, Niccolo, Shangri-La, Hilton, W, Kempinski, Renaissance, and more... choose according to the price you are willing to pay. 💗Other tips: 1. Each garden in Suzhou is actually not large, but if you look closely, it's easy to get immersed and time flies quickly. 2. Each garden is basically at its most beautiful around 5 pm in terms of light and shadow, but you can only choose one each day. 3. Choose either a night tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden or the Master of the Nets Garden, if the weather is good and you can watch the sunset, the Humble Administrator's Garden is recommended, as the Master of the Nets Garden has more performances. 4. For watching the sunset at Jinji Lake, it is recommended to go to the Golden Water Bay Pier, which is much prettier. 5. Suzhou does not have an airport, you can only fly to Shanghai or Wuxi, if flying to Shanghai, there is a high-speed train directly to Suzhou. Choose a high-speed train station in Suzhou according to the area you want to visit (Suzhou North Station is close to Yangcheng Lake; Suzhou Industrial Park Station is close to Jinji Lake, Yangcheng Lake; Suzhou New District Station is close to Tai Lake and Tiger Hill; Suzhou Station is in the city area... there are also Yangcheng Lake Station, Kunshan Station, Taicang Station, etc., just understand that Suzhou's high-speed rail is extremely well-developed) 6. The night tour of the ancient canal is basically not recommended, as it is far inferior to the night tours of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, the Haihe River in Tianjin. In contrast, the night view of Jinji Lake is more beautiful. The gardens that you didn't get a chance to visit this time, consider them a small regret, and save them for next time.

Great place to spend a quick holiday! Very Clean room , good and attentive staff and very helpful. Nice view indeed. A lot of food dishes selections. The Ambience is very warming! Hoping to come back when we got chance.

Looking at the beautiful spring scenery outside the window, I can no longer suppress the excitement in my heart. Why not take advantage of the spring when the flowers are blooming and go away🚘 I booked the Kempinski Hotel (its name is Jinji Lake Kempinski Hotel but it is actually located by Dushu Lake), but unfortunately I could only get a room with golf course view. The lobby is so grand~ The first impression when I opened the door - the room is so big, the bed is so big, the bathroom is so big, nice~⭐ The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, equipped with double basins, reasonable layout, and electric toilet is a plus⭐ The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows provide a wide view. Standing in front of the window and looking out, you can see the entire golf course. Not far away, you can see a corner of Dushu Lake, which is exactly the entrance to the lakebed tunnel. My bestie said it felt like the car drove into the lake and disappeared instantly😂 ⛳️There is a large lawn at the back door of the hotel. On sunny weekends, many children are learning American football on the lawn🏈 We walked across the lawn to the lake. There was a wedding banquet in the evening. On the rippling lake, the "pink ocean" composed of pink flamingos and pink balloons was particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the lake. I think the bride must be the most beautiful too. 🥰 Take a stroll along the lake or sit on a bench and let yourself be pampered by the breeze. It is very pleasant and makes you relax. The hotel is 3 kilometers away from Ligong Dike. With the help of the unique natural landscape and acquired transformation, it is becoming more and more popular. There is always something suitable for you to eat delicious food, enjoy the scenery and take photos. After dinner, I returned to the hotel and everything had returned to its original quietness. The mattress was very comfortable and did not cause back discomfort the next day because it was too soft. I have been getting less sleep recently, so I lay down and slept comfortably until dawn, feeling full of energy~ 🍽️Breakfast is self-service in the western restaurant on the third floor. Outside the window is the beautiful view of Dushu Lake, which adds a lot to the meal.⭐The breakfast has a rich variety. I grew up eating western breakfast, and the oatmeal porridge here is the best. Add a little milk, it is warm and smooth in one mouthful, which surprised me~ Served with toasted sliced ​​bread with a thin layer of butter~ full of happiness🥰My girlfriend likes Chinese food, and she praised the Su-style red soup noodles, which made me couldn't help but order a bowl, as expected! Highly recommended (much tastier than other hotels we visited later)🤟🏻

The Kempinski Hotel Suzhou is located at No.1 Guobin Road, Suzhou Industrial Park, adjacent to the Jinji Lake Golf Course and the Jinji Lake Grand Hotel. It was opened in 2008. Although the hotel has been built for a long time, it is still very beautiful! The lakeside plank road is great for taking pictures of both the sunset and sunrise, providing a nice experience! Especially the swimming pool, which includes two massage pools and one 50-meter-long pool, is very satisfying for a swimming enthusiast!

At around nine in the evening, my friend and I took a high-speed train from Shanghai to Suzhou, arriving at the Kempinski Hotel Suzhou. The hotel is ideally located, adjacent to the beautiful Jinji Lake, giving a sense of tranquility that is isolated from the world. The receptionist, a lady in red glasses, professionally checked us in and provided two room cards. Our room was spacious and bright, with a simple and atmospheric design, and opening the curtains allowed us to enjoy the beautiful view of Jinji Lake, which was refreshing. The next morning, we had a hearty breakfast in the cafe, which offered a wide variety of Western and Chinese dishes, as well as special fried eggs and wonton noodles for us to choose from. The atmosphere in the cafe was also very comfortable, making people feel happy. Overall, the Kempinski Hotel Suzhou gives a feeling of nobility, comfort, and tranquility. If the rooms could be renovated again, I believe it would be even more perfect.
