I've been to the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou so many times since it opened. This photo was taken at the entrance of the hotel after a heavy snow last year. The frozen logo is so beautiful that it attracted many bloggers to take photos. If you have friends from other cities visiting Suzhou and want to experience luxurious hotel services, the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is definitely the first choice. After all, it is the first Four Seasons Hotel in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to be built on an island! The owner is Sun Hung Kai Properties, a real estate tycoon. After nine years of hard work, they have created the best viewing spot on the shore of Jinji Lake in Suzhou, incorporating the architectural style of Suzhou gardens and mansions. It is grand and magnificent, yet delicate and charming. When you come to the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou, you will truly feel like you own an island. In short, I love it. ❤️

Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is located at No. 88 Siji Road, Suzhou Industrial Park. The hotel occupies the entire island on the south side of Jinji Lake, offering unobstructed views of the lake and the skyline of the park. The picturesque scenery makes it an ideal place for taking photos. The lush greenery is a feast for the eyes! The rooms are spacious and bright, with private terraces and mini balconies offering views of Jinji Lake and the gardens. The large floor-to-ceiling windows provide a stunning view of Suzhou. The bathrooms are equipped with high-end facilities, including fully automatic toilets. The bathtubs are custom-made by a British royal brand! The Four Seasons Hotel has several restaurants. The Chinese restaurant mainly serves Suzhou cuisine, such as squirrel fish. The Western restaurant mainly serves continental cuisine, including pasta and steak. The scenic restaurant offers excellent views of the lake or garden. The themed restaurant features a specific food theme, such as seafood, offering a variety of fresh shrimp and crab. The spa center has professional spa facilities, including a hot tub and steam room, offering a variety of spa services to help guests relax. The gym is equipped with a full range of fitness equipment, including treadmills, dumbbells, and strength training equipment. The outdoor infinity pool is connected to Jinji Lake, offering views of the lake and mountains, as well as the Gate of the Orient. There is also a children's water slide and water park by the pool, making it suitable for family trips.

| A unique experience in a unique location. 💕 This time I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou. Overall, I think it is above average among the Four Seasons brand, but there is a significant gap compared to the Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake and the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. 📍【Location】 The hotel is located on a peninsula extending into Jinji Lake on Ligongdi, which is the only one on the shore of Jinji Lake. It has a long lakeshore, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of Jinji Lake from here. The view is amazing. Next to it is the famous Lakeside Four Seasons Villa in Suzhou, which is developed by the same developer - Sun Hung Kai Properties. I feel like they are related. 📐【Facilities】 To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I got to the room. After all, it is a resort hotel, but the design is not much different from a high-rise hotel. The garden design is too modern, like an extension of the Lakeside Four Seasons community, with little interpretation of the charm and profound heritage of Suzhou gardens. But if you look at it as an ordinary new hotel, there is nothing wrong with it.

I highly recommend the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou to you all 👶. The hotel is very thoughtful, with baby diapers, a constant temperature kettle, a sterilizer, and baby wipes in the room.

The Christmas atmosphere at Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is different from other hotels!|||🎄 It seems that there are more lighting ceremonies in Suzhou this Christmas. I have to say that the Christmas atmosphere at Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is on a completely different level from other hotels. This is of course thanks to the hotel's "one island, one hotel" superior atmosphere, which tightly "gathers" the romantic and warm atmosphere of Christmas, creating a relatively private little universe. 🎄 The whole island is decorated in festive attire, with a magnificent Christmas tree in the lobby, a big balloon on the roof, and a snowman by the lake... The lighting ceremony is also full of ritual: a choir, Santa Claus in a red Ferrari with elves, snacks, champagne, mulled wine, freshly cut lamb chops, turkey, warm roasted marshmallows, and hot chocolate, singing Christmas songs together, it's really happy! 🎄 Since you're here, you must try the winter dishes at Jinji Pavilion at Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou. It seems that Chef Zhang's understanding of Jiangnan cuisine and Suzhou cuisine is getting deeper and deeper. Several cold dishes are really decent: "Honey Sauce Young Bamboo Shell" is crispy and fragrant, with a similar taste to Suzhou-style fried goby fish; the marinated duck wings and marinated duck rolls are also fragrant and lovely. 🎄 The flavors of the dishes are getting richer and richer, which is especially friendly to "new Suzhou people" like me: the steamed East China Sea yellow croaker with wine is not only fresh but also more mellow; the pine leaf crab is fried with dried mushroom sauce, the slightly spicy taste and the freshness of the ingredients intertwine, making the taste buds vibrate; the crab roe and egg liquid with milk are tender and delicate; the mountain pepper oil-fried double crisp is also unceremoniously spicy and fragrant; the vegetarian shrimp paste baked lily is also a small surprise, I have always been very sensitive to shrimp paste, but this time I couldn't stop, Chef Zhang's secret shrimp paste is really powerful! 🎄 You know the view at Jinji Pavilion, while dining, you can't help but look out the window, the Christmas atmosphere, the rippling lake, all the beauty is self-evident.

Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is located at No. 88 Siji Road, Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.  Hotel Features - Unique Location: Located on a private island in Jinji Lake, surrounded by the lake on three sides, connected to the shore by a private bridge, ensuring privacy while providing easy access to the bustling commercial area. - Beautiful Garden Design: With Suzhou-style gardens as the theme, the interior design is by Singaporean design firm Avalon Collective, incorporating the beauty of harmony and balance between man and nature in traditional Suzhou classical gardens into the space and landscape design. - Luxurious Accommodation Experience: With 199 rooms, suites, and 11 private villas, divided into east and west wings, with a total height of 6 floors, the rooms are either built facing the lake or nestled in the gardens, offering different views of Suzhou. - Rich Facilities: Featuring the gourmet restaurant Jin Jing Ge, a luxurious spa, a high-end fitness center, a children's playground, a pet park, and more. - Quality Service: Offering selected group discounts, complimentary rooms, and room upgrades.

Enjoy a luxurious vacation experience at a hotel on a private island, surrounded by a lake on three sides, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The lush gardens and shimmering lake views complement each other. The hotel is conveniently located, just a 15-minute drive from the iconic Gate of the Orient, a 29-minute drive from Suzhou Railway Station, and a 32-minute drive from downtown Suzhou. The hotel is surrounded by bustling business districts, with shopping, dining, and entertainment all available. There are over 200 rooms and villas spread across 90,000 square meters of gardens. The rooms are spacious and bright, and some room types are pet-friendly. 📍Detailed address No. 88 Siji Road, Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province 📝Tips 20:41 The hotel has an outdoor infinity pool with lake views and an indoor pool with double floor-to-ceiling windows, both heated year-round. The hotel's spa and 24-hour fitness center are great places to relax, and the kids' club and indoor and outdoor playgrounds offer a variety of entertainment options for children. The Chinese restaurant Jin Jing Ge offers authentic Suzhou cuisine, the all-day dining restaurant Yun He offers international cuisine, and the lobby bar Long Lang is the ideal place for afternoon tea and evening drinks. Private boat tours and private tours of the Suzhou Museum are also available.

On the shores of Jinji Lake, where luxury hotels are clustered, many brands choose to "stay" in high-rise buildings, while the Four Seasons Suzhou takes a different approach, choosing to be located on a private island. Its unique location, surrounded by the lake on three sides, establishes its status, leading the way in privacy and vacation feel, even surpassing the Park Hyatt Suzhou on the other side of the lake. In terms of time, whether it is a resort hotel that has already opened or is under preparation, the Four Seasons Suzhou will definitely maintain its title as the top hotel for a long time... The owner of the Four Seasons Suzhou is Sun Hung Kai Properties from Hong Kong, and the last time the two groups joined forces was to create the flagship "Lung King Heen" at the Four Seasons Hong Kong. Naturally, the Four Seasons Suzhou, which is the second collaboration, is highly anticipated... As you drive to the depths of the lakeside island, you will see the hotel building complex designed by WATG from the United States, with its open and closed, high and low, hidden and visible design, outlining the appearance of a modern Jiangnan residence. The canopy in front of the drop-off lobby is topped with Suzhou-style lantern elements, with diamond-shaped patterns and trapezoidal water features echoing each other, full of elegant order and symmetrical natural visual beauty. The Four Seasons logo also shines brightly in the reflection of the water on the pool wall... The interior design of the Four Seasons Suzhou was entrusted to Cedric Jaccard of Avalon Collective (who is also responsible for the Four Seasons Hangzhou Center, which is scheduled to open this year), who incorporated the natural and cultural elements of Suzhou into the interior design. Upon entering the lobby, you will find a high-ceilinged space, like the atrium of a traditional Jiangnan courtyard, which is also the hub of the entire hotel. The lighting installation above incorporates the visual effects of scrolls, paper windows, and skylights.

Four Seasons Suzhou [Travel Through a Luxurious Dreamland of Classic and Modern] If you happen to be in Suzhou and don't mind the price, we invite you to embark on a dreamlike journey where classic and modern intertwine, and encounter a romantic rendezvous about the four seasons. The moment you step into the hotel, it feels like you've traveled through a time tunnel, where the exquisite classical gardens and modern luxury blend perfectly. In the lobby, every detail exudes the softness and elegance of the Jiangnan water town, and the ink painting decorations make you feel like you're in an ancient painting. In the room, every inch of space is extraordinary, with views of either the garden or the city's twinkling lights outside the window, allowing you to enjoy privacy and tranquility. Swimming in the infinity pool feels like you're gliding through ancient canals or floating in modern clouds. As night falls, the lights of the Four Seasons and the starry sky complement each other. Stroll through the garden and feel the elegance and charm that belong only to Suzhou.

The Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is probably the most holiday-like hotel in the area! The hardware and services of the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou are very good I didn't make it to the West Lake State Guest House, so I went to the Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou today. The hotel had prepared the room when I had lunch, great lake view! It is indeed the best hotel in Suzhou now, but as a MO fan, I am still looking forward to the Mandarin Oriental Suzhou Since the baby learned to swim, I always wanted to soak in the water I want to find a quiet hotel, not too far away and with a holiday feeling. I looked around and chose Four Seasons. There are many people in the outdoor swimming pool, which is not as big as I imagined. The indoor swimming pool is really good, and there are almost no people playing for two days. One baby is enough to waste money and waste money. I definitely don't have the courage and energy to have another one

The most recommended hotel in Suzhou Highly recommend Four Seasons Hotel! I would come to Suzhou again just for Four Seasons The hotel is located by Jinji Lake, close to Ligong Causeway, and it is also convenient to go to the Gate of the Orient. The hotel is particularly suitable for families, with many family suites. Before departure, the hotel will call in advance to ask if there are any children, and will provide children with slippers, toiletries and small gifts, which is very considerate. Unfortunately, I don't have any children yet. The view is very good both during the day and at night. The Ferris wheel is under maintenance and it is said that it will not be repaired and lit until New Year's Day. The hotel is on a small island extending into the lake, so it is very quiet. There are some bicycles at the entrance of the lobby, including children's bicycles, which can be used for cycling around the lake. If you don't like cycling, you can also take a sightseeing car around the island. The breakfast is also good, with freshly made omelets, which are hot and soft. If you don't like raw salmon, you can ask the chef to cook it. There are many kinds of cheese and a cabinet of ham, and homemade melon and ham. The hotel will organize some activities, such as terrace yoga, bar parties, parent-child handicrafts, etc. It feels like a good social event if you are traveling alone~

The hotel is designed in a very restrained and atmospheric style. The new Chinese style is very comfortable to look at, and many solid wood decorations make people very able to settle down and appreciate it. The service is very good, the staff are very enthusiastic, and the attitude is very good! The swimming pool is a highlight, next to Jinji Lake, the Oriental Gate is behind~ The children's playground is also great, not many people, and there are little sisters to take care of, the children have a great time! The room is also very comfortable, the facilities are very new, the breakfast quality is also good, the overall feeling is very good! I have lived in all the hotels around Jinji Lake, and the Four Seasons is definitely the first!

The Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is located on a private island in Jinji Lake, covering an area of 9 hectares. It is connected to the lakeshore by a dedicated bridge, providing easy access to bustling commercial areas and various cultural and leisure landmarks. It is just a short walk from the city center of Suzhou. The hotel's design blends local history and culture with modern style. The public areas and courtyards are all integrated with elegant and unique Suzhou-style garden views, creating a rare and tranquil resort in the city.

Wow~ The infinity pool and Jinji Lake are a perfect match... You can stay in a hotel that feels like an island without leaving Suzhou. The Four Seasons Hotel is so high-end! Indoor pool, super high ceiling - atmospheric! Infinity pool, facing the Gate of the Orient, a popular photo spot! The view is even better when the lights are on at night. Children's area, with a slide that children love!

|. Please note when checking in that there are children In addition to welcome fruits, the guest room also provides children's snacks. The flying chess-shaped dinner plate is actually a flying chess piece. Hahaha, it's so cute!!! Suzhou Four Seasons has configurations and facilities that are not inferior to those of a family hotel. The children's playground is very good. Separated for adults and children, indoor and outdoor When checking in, the children were given four-season plush oranges. The children’s room card given by Mengmengda was also in the shape of a small four-season orange carved in wood (not photographed) The lake view room faces Jinji Lake and has a wide view. The swimming pool and gym are very large. The breakfast room is very average and the food is relatively sparse. The Soviet-style red noodle soup is very delicious. I couldn't finish three bowls of it. By the way, there is an all-you-can-eat ice cream cart which is a plus o0

Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou The public areas of the hotel are very photogenic and the view is good Convenient transportation, about an hour and a half from Shanghai, the hotel is new, there is an outdoor western restaurant by the pool for dinner, it's a bit hot, there is a Chinese restaurant, but it's not available until 8 o'clock, so I ordered room service, which was quite fast and arrived within half an hour. 👍What's worth mentioning is: the sofa + bed end stool is transformed into a children's bed service, which is free of charge and maintains the overall interior design style, and will not cause cramped space due to the extra bed. 1. Lack of doorman, stayed for three days and two nights, there was only one person every time I went in and out, sometimes it was vacant, no one helped to open the car door and carry luggage 2. Maybe there are many people during the summer vacation, and there is no one to guide the check-in when entering the lobby. The lobby is relatively small and a bit noisy 3. The small potted pine trees placed at the elevator entrance are actually plastic... Luxury brands use so many fake green plants 4. The hotel service does not reach the Four Seasons standard. It feels that most of the staff do not know how to provide services. They are unfamiliar and inexperienced. They feel that everyone is at a loss. The SPA reception front desk has a more beauty salon boss attitude. The cups used in the pool bar look very inferior. There are no people in the pool changing room to clean the used bath towels in time, and there are many details that need to be improved. Overall, it wins with beautiful scenery. I think it is worth staying once but will not stay again

Finally, I stayed at the Four Seasons in Jiangsu, which I had been longing for. I had a very good impression of this brand when I stayed at the Four Seasons in Guangzhou before. This time, I chose to stay at the Four Seasons in Suzhou for a day. 🍃 First of all, the hotel's location is very good. It is right in the center of Jinji Lake, and it is only a ten-minute drive from the Olympic Stadium where the concert is held. It is also not far from major scenic spots, and the hotel faces the Ferris wheel 🎡, allowing you to see Jinji Lake. 🏊 I came for the hotel's swimming pool, and it did not disappoint. The scenery is unbeatable. There is a western restaurant by the pool, various water bars, and the outdoor pool is very spacious, facing the Gate of the Orient. ❌ However, the hotel's service can only be described as mediocre. Not only did they leave us waiting at the front desk for a while during check-in, but the room was also not well arranged. Late check-out was not allowed, and breakfast was just like that of an ordinary five-star hotel. 🌈 Overall, this Suzhou Four Seasons seems more like you are paying for the environment. After all, it has an entire island and an infinity pool. But if I had to choose a luxury hotel in Suzhou, I would still choose the Park Hyatt across the street.

🏘️Room Type: Booked a Lake View Room, the room is spacious with an excellent view outside the window👍 🧹Cleanliness: Everything is very good 🏕️Location: The hotel is located on Ligongdi by Jinji Lake, occupying an independent small island. Since there are no other buildings around to obstruct the view, the scenery is very open and excellent. On one side, you can see the Gate of the Orient, and on the other side, it faces Suzhou IFS, with a lakeside trail that is very pleasant to walk on❤ 💗Other tips: The biggest highlight of the hotel must be the outdoor infinity pool, the view is really amazing. Additionally, there is also an indoor pool which is quite good. The overall environment and design style of the hotel integrates the characteristics of Suzhou city. After the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake, Hangzhou, Four Seasons finally has a new resort hotel in China, with excellent quality and definitely the top choice locally✅

| Four Seasons.🌟 Highlights: The quality of Four Seasons has always been recognized. Suzhou Four Seasons is located by Jinji Lake, offering tranquility hidden in the city. The standard rooms have very high ceilings, providing a comfortable sense of space. It also features an outdoor garden with beautiful scenery, perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. The gym and swimming facilities meet the needs of guests. ⏳ Playtime: You can also visit the nearby Jinji Lake to enjoy the fun of paddleboarding in the summer, which is very stress-relieving. 👎 Least Recommended: However, the only downside is that during peak times, the front desk struggles to handle check-ins efficiently. After 3 PM, it took until after 5 PM to barely arrange the rooms. Additionally, possibly due to the summer holiday, the breakfast restaurant in the morning also experienced long queues, and the food took a very long time to be served even after informing the staff, which was quite disappointing.

'One island, one hotel' - The Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel opens! Designed by Singapore's Avalon Collective, the Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel celebrated its grand opening on December 12, 2023. This is the second Four Seasons hotel in China to focus on vacationing after a 13-year hiatus, and it will be one of only two resort-style Four Seasons in China for at least the next five years. The hotel is situated on an independent island above the picturesque Jinji Lake in Suzhou, boasting a garden landscape that makes guests linger and forget to return. From the moment guests are invited to step onto the island, the enchanting natural environment leads them on an immersive journey. From the arrival area to the vibrant social spaces, and finally to the luxurious living spaces. Inspired by the traditional Chinese garden landscaping, the Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel perfectly embodies Suzhou culture through Chinese architectural lines as design elements. The hotel interprets the rich cultural heritage and the elegant essence of the gardens with the theme of 'a view at every step', where each step reveals a new scene, and every scene is interconnected. As guests enter a double-height open space, they can fully appreciate the magnificent views of Jinji Lake and the city. This includes a central resting area, and bars and flower studios separated by screens on both sides, providing guests with a variety of interesting experiences from day to night, from learning to relaxation. The flower studio on the right side of the lobby can be used for Zen activities such as tea ceremonies and flower arranging, enhancing the cultural atmosphere of the lobby lounge during the day. The bar and private spaces on the left, with their floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, offer an unobstructed view of Jinji Lake's beauty throughout the day. As night falls, the rotating Suzhou-style screens close, creating a private atmosphere that helps guests fully relax and enjoy moments of tranquility. And on the oversized terrace, guests can enjoy the surrounding landscape of the hotel.

This time our team building destination was the water town of Suzhou in the Jiangnan region, and we stayed at the high-quality Four Seasons Hotel in Suzhou, which is a new hotel that opened at the end of December 2023. 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The hotel layout is fantastic, the soundproofing in the rooms is particularly good, and the housekeeping is done with meticulous care. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: We booked the Shuitianwang Lake View Twin Room, which is 55 square meters in size, and the interior layout of the room is really great. 🛌Amenities/Facilities: The toiletries are wooden, which is quite eco-friendly, very child-friendly, and the bedding is extremely comfortable. 💰Per Capita Consumption: We booked in advance, and the per capita cost of the room type we booked was a little over a thousand, which is quite cost-effective. 💗Other tips: The hotel also has a comprehensive range of facilities, including a children's club, bar, gym, swimming pool, and lobby bar.

Today I tried staying at the Suzhou◎Jinji Lake Four Seasons Hotel, and overall it felt very good The hotel is on a small island by Jinji Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, with a nice design sense Overall, it continues the gentle temperament of Suzhou's Jiangnan water towns, with Suzhou-style garden design The hotel area is very large, not the typical single-building city hotel, it feels like a resort once you walk in The guest rooms incorporate many Chinese elements, which I really love I really like the room design style, the bed is so soft, lying on it is too comfortable, and they provide some small fruits and cakes The hotel has an infinity pool Great for photos| Worth experiencing for those traveling to Suzhou or sisters from Shanghai

A one-sentence summary: A city resort that satisfies the needs of the whole family, including pets, and is a place that locals would also specifically go to stay. ▪️ Prime location. The hotel extends into a small island from the southwest corner of Jinji Lake, offering a 270-degree unobstructed lake view. The picture is of the sunrise taken from my room. The picture is from one of the hotel's only two Penthouse terraces, where you can soak in the Jacuzzi and have a panoramic view of the east and west skylines of the lake. Of course, the most Instagrammable spot is the outdoor infinity pool that frames the 'Gate of the Orient', with the best light at sunset, so the swimming season in summer is even more recommended. ▪️ Family-friendly. If you are staying with children, the kids' club at Suzhou Four Seasons is really big, with two areas just for the indoors, and that's just one part of it. There's also an outdoor children's splash pool (with water slides), and I don't believe there's a child whose energy can't be exhausted here. If you're staying with elders, the hotel's lawn garden and walking paths are also sufficient for them to take a stroll. ▪️ Pet-friendly. The courtyard rooms on the first floor of the hotel are pet-friendly, and although there is no lake view, for dogs, a large yard where they can run freely is more attractive. Additionally, there is a pet 'playground' on the large lawn in the hotel's public area. ▪️ Rich activities. For guests who can't sit still, Suzhou Four Seasons is really fun. There are two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor, for water play, cycling and jogging along the lake, flower arranging and pastel painting for those who like quiet activities, and horse riding (more for experience and photo-taking, galloping is not allowed) and sailing on Jinji Lake (I tried this and highly recommend it)... The pricing is not outrageous either, with flower arranging/pastel painting/sailing all at 288 yuan per person, and horse riding at 500 yuan per hour. ▪️ A few details. ① The hotel breakfast is highly recommended. They serve their own small wontons with a soup base made from lard, which is authentic. Additionally, the coffee is made with a semi-automatic machine, and the milk coffee even has proper latte art, which is praiseworthy. ② The mattresses of most Four Seasons hotels are too soft for me, but the mattress used by Suzhou Four Seasons is surprisingly of a medium firmness, which personally, is a plus for me. ③ The only thing I want to complain about is the disposable toothbrushes provided in the rooms; the quality is too poor, with bristles constantly falling out, and they really should change the supplier.

The hotel is located on a separate small island by the Jinji Lake, with the scenery set in the middle of the entire Jinji Lake, where you can see the CBD core area and the landmark building, the Gate of the Orient, from the hotel. It's very comfortable inside the hotel and yet not too far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The front desk offers butler-style service, providing warm towels and drinking water thoughtfully, while assisting with check-in and understanding preferences, they also give a detailed introduction to the various places in the hotel. Outdoors, you can ride a bike or walk, the scenery is nice, and the outdoor infinity pool will be ready for wading and playing when the weather gets warmer. It doesn't take long to go around the whole island, and it's a dog-friendly hotel that's also suitable for bringing little ones. The cleaning of the guest rooms is meticulous, with a plate of fruit delivered every day, and the night bed is already turned down when you return from the gym in the evening or come back late. The quality of breakfast is also good, with steaks available early in the morning, which is very hardcore, and the service staff in the restaurant are also very friendly and considerate. I experienced the gym for two days, which is small but has complete aerobic and anaerobic equipment, and my family tried the Four Seasons classic SPA hydrotherapy and gave it high praise. Next, I will start a detailed narrative of the itemized account. Service During this hotel experience, the service was the most memorable point for me and my mother. Whether it was the front desk, lobby bar, guest room, breakfast restaurant, or outdoors, the Four Seasons service staff were all very friendly and sincere, making the entire vacation process more relaxed and enjoyable.

Advantages: 1. It is located on a private island on Jinji Lake in Suzhou, offering a tranquil vacation experience amidst the hustle and bustle. 2. Surrounded by the lake on three sides, it boasts extensive garden views. The scenery is so beautiful that it's beyond words. You can directly face the 'Giant Trousers', and the Jinji Lake view is completely unobstructed, whether you're in the lobby lounge, the infinity pool, or the lake view rooms. 3. The hotel retains the Suzhou garden style, exuding an air of sophistication. The lobby has a square layout with access to all areas, including a flower room 💐. The guest rooms are divided into east and west wings, and there is also a separate villa area, offering greater privacy. 4. I booked a Yi Garden room, and the front desk upgraded me to a Courtyard room. The room is 55 square meters, very spacious, with a sofa 🛋 in front of the semi-floor-to-ceiling windows. The mattress is exclusive to Four Seasons. The toilet and shower are separated on both sides, with a bathtub in the middle that can be manually closed off for privacy. The rest area and the wash area are also separated by folding doors. 5. Family-friendly, with play areas for both young and older children, including a workshop, climbing challenges, ocean balls... The activity area is very large, with both indoor and outdoor sections, various entertainment options, and even a cute little toilet 🚽 for young children. 6. Pet-friendly, guests who book a Courtyard room can bring pets weighing up to 11.5kg. There are exclusive play areas for pets, along with a range of special treats. Guests can also enjoy 24h🆓 parking per room per night. 7. Unique chalk drawing experiences, parent-child teaching; exclusive private island cycling, jogging experiences, and various other exclusive activities, perfect for a relaxing and comfortable weekend without leaving the hotel. 8. Breakfast at the Yunhe Restaurant is semi-buffet style, not a huge variety but okay depending on your taste. The restaurant has a children's menu, and children under 6 can enjoy breakfast for 🆓. The service is excellent and very attentive. 9. The hotel has an indoor pool, an outdoor infinity pool, and a children's pool, as well as an outdoor yoga terrace with a lake view. Covering 9 hectares, it's really large, and due to limited time, I didn't get to fully explore the hotel. 10. Visited the Terrace Suite, with a terrace larger than the room itself, offering truly amazing and beautiful views of the entire lake area. Suitable for parties, weddings, etc., with a mini bar🆓 to use, and two rooms, a master bedroom, and a nanny room. Disadvantages: 1. The room's quilt makes a rustling noise, the material is very loud, and turning over at night is noisy, which seems to be a common experience for many people. 2. It's recommended to book a lake view room directly, as the views from the Yi Garden and Courtyard rooms are not particularly good. The room we stayed in even had a view of the restaurant. ▫️INFO ▪️Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou ▪️Address: No. 88 Siji Street, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province ▪️Price: 2000+

| Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel - Long Bar. 🌟 Highlights: Facing the lobby, the Long Bar serves both as a lobby bar and a lounge, offering the best panoramic views. The floor-to-ceiling screens adorned with floral patterns are arranged on both sides, creating a subtle and graceful flow of movement while dividing the space. Sitting here, one can enjoy the shimmering waters of Jinji Lake, as nature is brought indoors, reflecting oneself amidst the mountains and waters.

Perhaps everyone knows that Suzhou has long become a hot tourist destination. Those old streets and ancient towns we used to visit are still crowded even if you try to visit on a weekday to avoid the peak times! Fortunately, I've carefully planned a super niche weekend day trip itinerary that almost entirely avoids queues and waiting! 🚶 Itinerary: Suzhou City God Temple - Green Yang Wonton (Guanqian Store) - Suzhou Confucian Temple - Xiao Jiang Potstickers (Cultural Palace Store) - Xietang Old Street - Wanchangxing - Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel 👉 Suzhou City God Temple If you're too scared to visit Xiyuan Temple and Hanshan Temple because of the overwhelming crowds, why not go to Suzhou City God Temple instead! It's only a few dozen meters away from the bustling Guanqian Street, but it seems to separate all the noise and crowds outside the temple gates. Surrounding must-try food: Green Yang Wonton (Guanqian Store), located behind Guanqian Street, so there's basically no need to wait for a table. As an old-brand wonton and dim sum shop, both the environment and service are quite impressive. 👉 Suzhou Confucian Temple Here you can find a temple for worshipping Confucius, the Suzhou Stele Museum of national treasure level, as well as various gardens and corridors. You can easily take in nearly 1000 years of history, and there are very few tourists, so you can look and take photos however you want! Surrounding must-try food: Xiao Jiang Potstickers (Cultural Palace Store), an authentic Suzhou-style potsticker old shop, also offering rare shrimp and beef potstickers. 👉 Xietang Old Street The brand-new Jinji Lake is home to a 700+ year old town. The ten-mile Xietang of the old Gusu city has now become a shopping and dining paradise only known to locals! Unlike the overly crowded Pingjiang Road and Shantang Street, here you can only find leisure and comfort. It's perfect to find a coffee shop or tea house for an afternoon tea, so relaxing! Surrounding must-try food: Wanchangxing's traditional Suzhou-style noodle feast, the sesame shrimp noodles that you can't find anywhere else are amazing! A small dish of sesame shrimp topping, directly condensing more than 10,000 tiny shrimps that never grow up, no wonder it's so delicious that you can't stop! 👉 Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel An independent island hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, it also offers a direct view of Jinji Lake. Strolling on the hotel's exclusive lakeside path in the evening, seeing Suzhou from a different angle, is truly breathtaking la~

The eighth Four Seasons in China is located on an independent island on Jinji Lake, accessible via the hotel-named Four Seasons Road. After nearly a decade of cultivation, the garden's greenery has flourished into a picturesque scene. The private island faces the Suzhou New District across the lake, making its location truly exceptional. Moreover, its pet-friendly and family-friendly amenities make it my top choice for vacations in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area.
