Suzhou Pan Pacific Hotel

In the graceful water town of Suzhou, the Pan Pacific Hotel is like an ink-wash pearl embedded in the ancient city. This 2,500-year-old garden hotel perfectly blends Suzhou elegance with modern luxury. Stepping into the lobby, the faint scent of sandalwood instantly transports you back to the refined Gusu era🏮

【Prime Location】
• 5-minute walk to Panmen Scenic Area, 10 minutes to Canglang Pavilion
• 8-minute walk from Nanmen Station on Metro Line 4
• Only 1.5 km from the viral Shuangta Market
Perfect for travelers wanting an immersive old-Suzhou experience—you might even meet grannies selling jasmine flowers from shoulder poles at the hotel's back gate in the morning.

【Rooms as Miniature Gardens】
We stayed in an executive room with a private garden, where the window framed a replica of the Ruiguang Pagoda. The bathroom features underfloor heating + deep-soaking tub, with Australian Appelles Black Label amenities. The butler delivers seasonal tea snacks during bath time (the Biluochun spring pastry is divine!).
