Nestled in the heart of Suzhou's famed "Gusu Old Street"—the Qili Shantang Scenic Area—our hotel is within easy reach of popular attractions such as Guanqian Street, the Humble Administrator’s Garden, Hanshan Temple, and the Gate of the Orient. Surrounded by rich cultural ambiance and convenient transportation, exploring the city’s landmarks has never been easier.
Stepping into our hotel is like traveling through time—this was once the site of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau during the Ming and Qing dynasties, overseeing the region’s magnificent textile heritage. Today, you can not only observe and even try your hand at traditional weaving techniques in our on-site Intangible Cultural Heritage Silk Experience Museum, but also immerse yourself in the elegant lifestyle of Jiangnan literati amid the refined beauty of a classical Suzhou garden.
Designed with water as its rhythm, the architecture is adorned with winding streams, rockeries, pavilions, and lush greenery, forming a living ink-wash painting of Jiangnan. We are committed to conveying the charm of Gusu in every detail—from the lobby furnishings and corridor patterns to the silk textiles in each room and the views beyond every latticed window, all embody the subtle poetry of Suzhou aesthetics.
We offer a variety of themed room types infused with silk culture, catering to business trips, family vacations, and parent-child getaways. Each room is equipped with century-old brand mattresses and high-thread-count silk pillows to ensure a cloud-like sleeping experience. The hotel also features a water bar, tea lounge, meeting rooms, and an à la carte restaurant, along with seven themed private dining suites: Donglin Pavilion, Hidden Mountain Retreat, Yichuan Pavilion, Osmanthus Fragrance Pavilion, Bamboo Seclusion Studio, Elegant Studio, and Jiangnan Mansion—each named after Suzhou’s cultural motifs, perfect for intimate gatherings and refined events.
