A Stylish Hotel Experience in Suzhou

The charm of Suzhou, the "Venice of the East," extends beyond its classical gardens🏯. Staying at a cloud-top hotel overlooking Jinji Lake is the ultimate way to experience this city! This time, I checked into the Niccolo Suzhou and realized the dream of "lying in the clouds while admiring Suzhou" from the 117th floor. 🏨 Cloud-Top Experience Guide: 📍 Prime Location: Directly connected to Suzhou International Finance Centre, just a 5-minute walk to Jinji Lake Scenic Area. The Dongfangzhimen Station (Line 1) is right downstairs, making transportation super convenient. ✨ Must-Try Experiences: • Sky Pool: Swim at 115 floors high while enjoying panoramic views of Suzhou, especially breathtaking during sunset. • Cloud High Tea: The hotel lobby lounge on the 116th floor offers a "Suzhou-style" afternoon tea set, featuring adorable xiaolongbao-shaped desserts. • Room Bathtub: Every room has floor-to-ceiling windows - soak in the tub with Jinji Lake and the Gate to the East in full view. 🍽️ Dining Guide: • The Kitchen: Authentic Suzhou cuisine on the 117th floor - don't miss the sweet and sour mandarin fish and stir-fried shrimp. • The Lounge: Must-try aozhao noodles with flavorful broth and chewy texture. • Bar: Enjoy cocktails after 8pm with live jazz music against the stunning city nightscape. 📸 Photo Tips: 1. Best lighting between 3-5pm - pose by floor windows with Jinji Lake as backdrop 2. Bring waterproof phone case for poolside shots 3. Solid-colored outfits photograph better 4. The lobby's spiral staircase is Instagram-famous - shoot from above for leg-lengthening effect 💡 Practical Info: • Address: No.409 Suzhou Avenue East, Suzhou Industrial Park • Transport: Direct access from Exit 4 of Dongfangzhimen Station (Line 1) • Nearby: 10-minute walk to Suzhou Center Mall for shopping and dining convenience
