5-Star Hotels in Jiangsu, China

Specifically came to Suzhou's Dongshan for the white jade loquats this weekend, but opted not to stay at Dongshan Hotel this time. Instead, we drove an hour back to the city to stay at Wu Palace. It was my first time here, and our room was on the first floor. The lobby is on the third floor, so we had to take the elevator down to the first floor, then navigate a bit to find our room. With two elderly people, it was a little inconvenient. However, my family unanimously agreed that the hotel's ambiance is quite unique, and decided that next time we visit Suzhou, we'll definitely choose Wu Palace again (they specifically told me to book a room on the 3rd floor)😁. It's loquat season now, and the two loquat trees in the courtyard are perfectly in theme. Amidst the white walls and black tiles, loquats hang from the branches. I woke up early to snap a few photos📸 of the loquat trees. Being under the trees, everything felt so fresh🤤.

The room was incredibly clean and tidy, and the view from the 69th floor was absolutely unbeatable, offering a panoramic sweep of Nanjing. The hotel butler service was exceptionally attentive, always proactively helping us out. Plus, the breakfast spread was so diverse and delicious; my little one even had two bowls of noodles this morning! Oh, and the hotel's location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, making it super convenient for dining and sightseeing. Next time I'm in Nanjing, I'm definitely staying here again! 👍

This trip was absolutely fantastic! We stayed for two nights, opting for family rooms so the kids could have separate beds, allowing one adult to rest comfortably. We started in Room 11 for the first night, then moved to Room 18. Honestly, just booking Room 18 would have been enough – the facilities were excellent, the environment was beautiful, and they even had peacocks, rabbits, and a game room. The hotel shuttle was incredibly convenient. We took the kids around to feed the rabbits, koi, ducks, and swans, and even saw peacocks displaying their feathers. The service was also top-notch. We tried out Qu Yuan, Shan Restaurant, and 7 Chi 8 Ba, and all of them were delicious. We accessed Slender West Lake via the hotel's convenient gate, where we took a boat ride with the kids and fed pigeons. The breakfast buffet at Building 18 was also amazing, with a wide variety of options, leaning towards Western fare, including various cheeses and omelets. We were already planning our next visit before we even checked out. Next time, we won't even need to leave the hotel; there's plenty to do right here!

This stay at the Shangri-La was great! It's super convenient for both the subway 🚇 and taxis 🚗, and just three subway stops away from the popular Confucius Temple. The hotel itself is elegant and comfortable. The breakfast buffet on the second floor offers a wide variety of delicious options. In the lobby, the café on the first floor is perfect for a relaxed afternoon tea ☕, and they even have a live singer from 7 PM to 10 PM. My room was clean and tidy, and the staff were all very friendly, always greeting me with a smile and proactively asking if I needed any help. It was a really enjoyable trip! Highly recommended 👍

Ten days at Jinling Hotel gave us something more precious than just good service – it gave us friendship. Through this platform, I want to sincerely express our family's gratitude to Jinling Hotel Nanjing. Thank you to every staff member who offered us their warm assistance during our most difficult and helpless moments. We checked into Jinling Hotel on May 12th. On the evening of May 13th, I unfortunately fell and got injured. What followed deeply moved us. That night, Manager Guo, who was on duty at the concierge desk, personally helped me purchase medicine and crutches online and had them delivered to our room. He also proactively communicated with relevant departments to arrange all the necessary details for my orthopedic doctor's appointment the next day. It was past 3 AM by the time everything was settled. That night, though we were far from home, our hearts felt incredibly at peace. Early on the morning of May 14th, Supervisor Zhang, who was on duty in the lobby, specifically arranged for a young staff member, Xiao Guan, to accompany us to the hospital. He repeatedly instructed Xiao Guan on every detail of accompanying a patient: how to ensure our safety, how to assist with the medical procedures... That kind of family-like care instantly warmed our hearts. And Xiao Guan certainly lived up to that trust. He was enthusiastic, meticulous, and vibrant, accompanying us for the consultation, X-rays, queueing for payments, picking up medicine, and arranging taxis for our round trip. He was like our own child, giving us a sense of reliance in a foreign place. Li Hong and Liu Yan from housekeeping also provided meticulous help after my injury. When they learned the doctor required me to lie flat with my feet elevated to heart level, Li Hong immediately brought hard pillows to prop up my feet. Fearing I couldn't go out for fresh air, she promptly opened the small window for ventilation. She also thoughtfully provided hangers and patiently taught us how to use the equipment to dry clothes. To ensure we could recover in peace, they brought a fruit platter every day. Li Hong even specially got a tightening strap from the engineering department to reinforce the underarm pads of my crutches. All these tangible acts of care warmed and deeply touched us. I want to say that it is the excellent qualities of each and every one of you that form the most brilliant team image of Jinling Hotel. You are the best calling card for Jinling Hotel. I hope more people will know our story, and I also hope that more friends visiting Nanjing will definitely stay at Jinling – here, you will find the 'home away from home' experience you desire, and even more, a warm, family-like experience. Sincere thanks to Jinling Hotel, for cultivating such a high-quality, excellent team with so much heart!

The hotel is super convenient to get to – just turn right after exiting Sanyang Plaza Station (Subway Line 1, Exit 11A) and it’s a short walk away. If you're staying for a longer period, I recommend the executive suite. It's very spacious and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, essential cooking utensils, and a washer/dryer. At night, you can enjoy panoramic views of Wuxi city.

The entire hotel features a completely flat public area, with no thresholds or steps. From the car park to the elevator, from the lobby to the restaurant, and from the restaurant to the lakeside promenade, wheelchairs can move around smoothly. The back door, which connects to the lakeside promenade, has a gentle ramp instead of steps. The elevator doors are wide enough for wheelchair access, and the buttons are set at a lower height. Restaurant tables and chairs are movable, allowing wheelchairs to pull right up to them. The balcony doors in the rooms are also threshold-free sliding doors. The whole environment is very wheelchair-friendly. If you or a family member needs to travel by wheelchair, this hotel will make your stay very convenient. Crabs & Dolphins

Whenever I return to Suzhou from abroad, I always choose Pingjiang Lodge. It holds a special place in my heart because I used to walk past it and Pingjiang Road every day on my way to school. Plus, the hotel boasts a 500-year-old 'Half Garden.' Though small, it's a quintessential Suzhou garden where you can sit and enjoy tea, complete with parrots that say 'hello.' It's truly a remedy for homesickness, no need to visit other gardens. The service has always been exceptional. During this stay, I mentioned that it had been 40 years since I left Suzhou, and Manager Xiao Tang at the front desk immediately upgraded my room and sent some fruit. Breakfast is decent, and the hotel's homemade toppings are authentic – I look forward to them every morning. The location is absolutely perfect; Pingjiang Road is right outside, and popular attractions like Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove Garden, and Suzhou Museum are all incredibly close. There are also various specialty snacks and restaurants nearby. Aside from the crowds of tourists, it's practically flawless. Staying here makes me so happy; it truly feels like coming home.

Booked an executive room, got upgraded to a deluxe suite, both the space and the view were satisfying. Had afternoon tea at the executive lounge once; the desserts were pretty good, overlooking Haizhou District from the 41st floor. Also tried the buffet dinner once; it was generally average, nothing particularly outstanding. The room itself didn't feel old, and the facilities were well-maintained. Overall, a positive review. Will consider staying here again next time I visit Lianyungang.

Yangzhou Shangri-La: A 3-Day, 2-Night Leisure Stay | Perfect Location + Super Comfortable Staycation For my recent 3-day, 2-night leisure trip to Yangzhou, I decisively chose the Shangri-La Hotel, Yangzhou, and the location truly was unbeatable! The hotel is right next to Mingyue Lake, surrounded by a whole cluster of cultural amenities. The Yangzhou Grand Theatre, Art Museum, Museum, and Library are all connected, just a short walk across the street. It was incredibly convenient for visiting exhibitions and galleries. I managed to squeeze in a visit to the Yangzhou Museum and saw the national treasure, the 'Dragon Pattern Vase,' with my own eyes – incredibly rich in history. I also picked up some lovely museum merchandise, which really enhanced the experience. The night view of Mingyue Lake in the evening was particularly stunning, with a fantastic illuminated ambiance. There were many locals strolling along the lake, and the evening breeze was delightful, creating a wonderfully slow-paced, relaxing atmosphere. This time, I stayed in a Horizon Club Deluxe Lake View Room, which was truly an immersive staycation experience. The 60-square-meter room was incredibly spacious and airy, and the bathroom was also huge, making for a very comfortable and unconfined stay. The hotel is a well-established five-star property; upon entering the lobby, you immediately feel its stable and luxurious ambiance. Although the room facilities show a bit of age, they are exceptionally well-maintained, and the overall quality of the stay was excellent. The Horizon Club executive benefits were genuinely great value. In the afternoon, you could leisurely enjoy afternoon tea in the lounge, and the evening light meals were also excellent quality, with refined dishes that weren't just token offerings. It was a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and entertainment without even having to leave the hotel – a truly full-on vacation vibe. The hotel breakfast offered a huge variety, including many local Yangzhou specialties. You could enjoy authentic Huaiyang breakfast dishes without going out, and the flavors were very authentic. Most of the service was also very good, with prompt responses to daily requests and thoughtful attitudes. My only minor complaint: One evening, returning to the hotel, I was abruptly stopped by a lobby staff member who curtly asked, ”What are you doing here?” This was a rather unpleasant experience. As a high-end five-star hotel, staff should ideally greet guests with a smile and proactively offer assistance, rather than asking blunt questions. There's certainly room for improvement in their service awareness. The hotel's travel photographer, Xiao Yu, was excellent; he captured some photos we were very happy with. Overall, I was very satisfied with the location, environment, room type, and dining. It's a highly recommended choice for a relaxing, slow-paced vacation in Yangzhou or for those wanting to visit cultural and museum venues. I would definitely recommend staying here!
