Passing through the bustling Miaotang Alley,
A Jiangnan garden from the Qianlong era awaits behind whitewashed walls.
Once known as "Chang Garden" and recorded in the annals of garden history, this hidden mansion,
Refined by time, has transformed into a poetic dwelling,
Opening a dialogue across time for every traveler.
📍 A Hidden Gem in the City
Adjacent to the cultural triangle of the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove Garden, and Suzhou Museum,
Approximately a 15-minute drive from Suzhou Railway Station.
Cobblestone paths connect the two faces of the ancient city.
In the front courtyard, the melodious sounds of Pingtan from Pingjiang Road can be heard,
While the back courtyard offers the exclusive tranquility of a five-acre private garden.

18 guest rooms subtly echoing the 18 scenic spots of Suzhou.
The fragrance of Bulgari perfumes wafts through the nanmu beams.
Dyson airflow gently caresses silk drapes.
Intelligent underfloor heating mimics the temperature of the four seasons.
From the window, you can see the Taihu stones shimmering with silver frost under the moonlight.
🎋 Seven Elegant Pursuits of Garden Life
Wake up to a cup of Biluochun tea in the Jianshan Tower.
Listen to the rain patter on banana leaves in the rockery pavilion in the afternoon.
Follow the century-old wisteria to the library at dusk.
Savor a private chef's crab roe rice at dinner.
You can also book a session with a master of intangible cultural heritage to learn Suzhou embroidery or Kunqu opera.
✨ Exquisite Service from an Oriental Butler
A dedicated butler awaits your arrival with a handwritten floral note.
From customized Suzhou-style breakfast to late-night sweet soup,
From Hanfu attire to photography services,
Even the lacquer boxes holding the tea and snacks are replicas from the Palace Museum.
As the city's hustle and bustle stops at the moon gate,
Here, the most poetic essence of Jiangnan is eternally preserved.
