5-Star Hotels in Jiangsu, China

We had a perfect stay at Pan Pacific Suzhou! The suite was incredibly spacious and comfortable, consisting of two connected rooms. One room featured a king-size bed, a large living room, and a luxurious bathroom with a huge bathtub. The second room had two single beds, which was perfect for our two adult children. The layout was very thoughtful, with two separate bathrooms and toilets, plus an additional guest toilet in the living room. With four of us staying together, we never had to wait for the bathroom — a huge convenience! The hotel grounds are absolutely stunning, featuring beautiful gardens, traditional architecture, and a pagoda, making it feel like a scenic attraction in itself. As a special bonus, the hotel provided a complimentary 60-minute Hanfu experience, allowing us to take wonderful photos around the property. Honestly, the hotel is so beautiful that you could easily spend a day exploring the grounds without leaving. Another thoughtful touch was that each room was provided with an entire carton of bottled mineral water, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, an exceptional stay with spacious accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and excellent hospitality. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Suzhou!

I've stayed at many InterContinental hotels, and I can confidently say that InterContinental Nanjing is my top choice for hosting friends or for business needs. The reason is simple: it consistently meets luxury hotel standards. This recent stay was, without a doubt, my most satisfying. Since I'm a regular guest, I always coordinate with my butler, Alice, beforehand, and this time was no exception. Alice thoughtfully arranged an upgrade to a lake-view suite and even prepared a personalized room key with my name on it! 🥰 This made me incredibly happy. I really need to commend the concierge team at InterContinental Nanjing. They're always impeccably dressed in their concierge uniform, swift in opening car doors and handling luggage when I arrive or depart, and consistently stationed at the entrance, ready to assist. Their service throughout is efficient and professional, yet always warm and friendly, with a welcoming smile. The check-in process was smooth. The hotel's public areas and rooms have an 'old money' aesthetic, evoking the glamour of the millennium's golden age with its dazzling lights. While some might find the facilities a bit dated, I personally enjoy this classic, refined style. The views are excellent, offering a panoramic overlook of Nanjing. The hotel's central location means everything is close by. Xuanwu Lake, Fuzimiao, Sycamore Avenue, and Deji Plaza are all within about a ten-minute drive. This is a significant reason why I choose to stay here when hosting friends – after all, no one wants to spend a lot of time stuck in traffic. The Zifeng Tower is also a Nanjing landmark, and admiring it from Xuanwu Lake offers a unique glimpse into Nanjing's beauty. The hotel breakfast is delicious, though unfortunately, I'm not much of a food critic, so I can't give an objective review like a food blogger. 🥲 I also want to praise Alice again. Because I stay here so often, I've known her for a long time. Whenever I need a pillow change or have any issues with the room, Alice always responds and resolves them immediately. I don't know about other butlers, but Alice's service is truly, truly exceptional. Now for a small suggestion after all the praise: personally, I think the welcome fruit should be placed in the room before check-in, rather than guests having to bring it up themselves. Guests should feel fully respected upon arrival. But whatever the reason, whether for business travel, hosting friends, or a solo trip, InterContinental Nanjing remains a high-standard, high-quality hotel. I hope the hotel continues to strive for excellence, paying more attention to the small details, and always aiming to provide the best experience for its guests.

Exceeded my expectations! This time, I stayed in Building 18, and it truly lives up to its reputation as Yangzhou Xiyuan Hotel. I'll definitely be back to try Building 8 next time, or perhaps the newly opened villa area which I've heard good things about. **Environment:** The hotel boasts top-notch scenery within its grounds, making walks very enjoyable. I heard some rooms in Building 18 face the road and a currently under-renovation area, but my room this time had a pretty good view. **Facilities:** The room was well-equipped with premium brands, and everything was well-maintained. It would be even better if there was a bathtub, as I don't necessarily want to go to the complimentary hot springs. The restaurant quality was also excellent. **Service:** Very attentive! They offer 24-hour shuttle service within the grounds. The welcome fruit was of good quality, and they even provided local yogurt. There are also some activities organized by Xiyuan Hotel that you can book and experience, which was a nice touch. **Hygiene:** No issues at all. Even the public restrooms in the lobby were very clean.

💕 Beyond expectations: The service staff at Shangri-La were all incredibly friendly and helpful! Also, the Jiangnan灶 Huaiyang Cuisine restaurant on the first floor was fantastic; not a single dish disappointed. We stayed for two nights and ate there twice, ordering different dishes each time, and every single one was delicious. Definitely worth a visit. 💕 Disappointing experience: The Coffee Xuan buffet breakfast offered a wide variety, but the taste was just mediocre. The soup dumplings, which were highly praised in other reviews, had no soup inside, and the skin of the xiaolongbao was a bit tough, on par with average takeout xiaolongbao. When I asked a server, I was told that only freshly made ones would have soup, but none were being made at the time (I went around 7:30 AM). The shrimp and noodle soup I ordered even had leftover wonton skins from previous dishes. The restaurant itself is on the second floor with no view to speak of.

The location is fantastic, with a bustling view of Xinjiekou right outside the window. What impressed me most was the service – friendly, polite, and incredibly responsive. The dining options exceeded expectations; the breakfast was diverse with Nanjng specialties, and the formal meals were exquisitely prepared. The room was well-maintained, clean, and the bedding was comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience. The service was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and responsive. We had dinner at the hotel, and the food quality was surprisingly good. I especially want to commend the Jia Restaurant on the 56th floor of the Asia Pacific Tower. On our first night, we tried their mini hotpot, and the two single sets were more than enough for two people. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic, promptly helping with drinks, clearing plates, and cooking items. We also loved the buffet selection! We had such a happy meal! The next morning, we debated between the ground floor breakfast buffet and the 56th-floor one, but decided to go back to the 56th floor – and we were so glad we did! It was another wonderful experience, feeling right at home. There were many dishes available in the morning. For instance, a waitress kindly cut the Jinling large meat bun for us so we could each have half, which we really appreciated. A big thank you to CY and MYF from Jia Restaurant for their attentive service. The view was also excellent; we could see the beautiful city from our seats. All in all, I highly recommend trying it! I truly appreciate such thoughtful service! We booked afternoon tea at the Executive Lounge, which featured a beautiful birdcage design. The happy hour's light dinner, part of the executive benefits, was also delicious! I had previously celebrated a birthday at Meiyuan, so this time, I decided to try the Pacific Western Restaurant before checking out, which also offered a beautiful setting and attentive service. I feel like I'll be back very soon just for the delicious food.

The location is fantastic, right in the city center at Sanyang Plaza. It's incredibly convenient with a metro station and commercial hub just downstairs. The room was spacious and the air conditioning was excellent. The views were expansive and the city lights were beautiful. The front desk staff were all very friendly and the cleaning ladies always greeted us warmly. Breakfast was delicious and high quality, offering both international standards and local flavors. Overall, it was an extremely good value for money experience. My only minor complaint is that the duvet was a bit thin, especially since the air conditioning worked so well!

I brought my family here for a birthday celebration. The hotel arranged a birthday setup and gave us a small cake, which was delicious! **Appearance:** The cruise ship design is quite unique, and right across from it is the Gate of the Orient. It's lovely to take a stroll on the boardwalk in the evening. **Interior:** The hotel is a bit older, so some rooms might have a slight odor, but the staff promptly addressed it, which was decent. The sanitation facilities were clean. **Service:** The staff, including those in the breakfast restaurant, Zhenlu Yi Hotpot, and the doormen, were all incredibly warm and polite. (The coffee bar staff, however, were a bit lacking.) **Breakfast:** It's a mix of Chinese and Western options. While the variety isn't huge, everything tasted great, especially the Suzhou-style Aozao noodles! They were so good I had two bowls! There wasn't much fruit though. **Toiletries:** They use BORGESE products, with an orange scent, which was very pleasant.

Traveling to Nanjing with friends, we chose this hotel and its location is fantastic. It's right next to Pingjiang Road, a popular internet-famous spot, and also conveniently close to our main destinations this trip: the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Museum. The room was spacious and very quiet, with a two-bathroom layout. The facilities were excellent, and the hairdryer was particularly good. The balcony was well-designed, and there were dedicated charging stations. Breakfast was very rich and varied. The overall environment was wonderful, and the service was very attentive. We were a bit late checking out because of a long queue for a meal, but they were very patient in reminding us and helping to coordinate. Definitely worth staying here again when visiting Suzhou!

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.

Our stay at Shangri-La Yangzhou was absolutely fantastic! The hotel's lake view garden really sets a wonderful atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety, including local Yangzhou specialties like noodles and wontons, which were excellent. A special thank you to Emma, who anticipated our needs, was attentive and efficient, and patiently helped us with any questions we had. She was so warm and kind. All the other hotel staff provided meticulous and thoughtful service as well. Our entire experience was superb, definitely a five-star rating! We'll be back!
