🏨 1. Tongli Lake Hotel
▫️ Why we love it: Private lotus pond access! The back door leads directly to Tongli Wetland Park, just a 5-minute walk to the "Herbal Garden" lotus area. Enjoy a serene morning with pink lotuses all to yourself. The terrace rooms feature rattan daybeds—perfect for Hanfu photoshoots with a "painting-like" vibe!

⚠️ Note: The hotel offers free rentals of oil-paper umbrellas and round fans—remember to book in advance!

🏨 2. Pullman Zhouzhuang
▫️ Why we love it: A Hui-style courtyard surrounded by lotus ponds! Every room has a view balcony. Sip lotus tea at "Lushui Pavilion" at dusk while watching the sunset paint the vast wetlands red. Room rates include dual wetland tickets—great value!
▫️ Address: No. 88 Quanwang Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Kunshan, Suzhou
💡 Hidden gem: The hotel offers lotus-picking experiences (July-August only)—super fun to pluck lotus seed pods by wooden boat!

🏨 3. Suzhou Culture & Tourism Boat Story Hotel
▫️ Why we love it: Literally stay ON the lotus pond! 20 floating boat cabins feature skylights for stargazing at night. Open the curtains in the morning to "endless green lotus leaves under the sky." Just 800m from the wetland's north gate, reachable by bike.
