Stay in a Jiangnan Garden | Pan Pacific Suzhou

| Pan Pacific Suzhou
How can you visit Suzhou without experiencing the charm of staying in a classical garden? This time, I checked in at the Pan Pacific Suzhou and embarked on an immersive Jiangnan journey—absolutely unforgettable!

📍Prime Location
The hotel is situated in Suzhou's ancient city, just a wall away from the Panmen Scenic Area, and a short walk from the ancient canal pier. Nearby attractions like the Canglang Pavilion, Pingjiang Road, and Shantang Street are all within easy reach🚇. A 5-minute stroll from either Xinshiqiao Station (Line 5) or Nanmen Station (Line 4) brings you right to the hotel.

🏞Garden-Style Landscapes
As Suzhou's first five-star palace-style garden hotel, it perfectly showcases the beauty of Jiangnan gardens. The hotel features three gardens, complete with pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and lush greenery—every step offers a picturesque view, making it a photographer's paradise📸. From the city walls, you can admire stunning sunsets, and when the lights come on at night, the scene transforms into something magical.

🛏Elegant and Comfortable Rooms
Rooms are located in the Ruiguang and Xixia buildings. I stayed in a garden-view room in Xixia Building, where opening the window revealed breathtaking garden scenery—simply amazing! The decor blends traditional Chinese charm with modern comfort, featuring soft bedding and well-equipped amenities.

🍱Delicious Dining Options
The buffet restaurant, Cuiying Garden, offers a global spread and local specialties. The breakfast selection is extensive—don’t miss the "Muyou" duck noodle soup, it’s delicious! Hai Tian Lou Chinese Restaurant serves authentic Suzhou and Huaiyang dishes, with signature items like sweet and sour mandarin fish and stir-fried shrimp that are sure to delight. Also, don’t overlook Rui Noodle House in the hotel garden, which serves authentic Suzhou-style noodles.

🎁Thoughtful Perks
Your stay includes tickets for a cruise along the ancient canal and entry to the Panmen Scenic Area🎫. Glide along the canal and soak in Suzhou’s serene beauty. The Panmen Scenic Area, home to the Ruiguang Pagoda, Water and Land Gate, and Wumen Bridge, is steeped in history—you can enter unlimited times with your room key. The hotel also boasts a gym, indoor heated pool, outdoor tennis court, kids’ playroom, and even a Hanfu experience center, making it perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers.

My stay at the Pan Pacific Suzhou left a lasting impression. If you want to experience the essence of Jiangnan in Suzhou, this is the place to be!
