Suzhou is home to culturally distinctive hotels, designed in the style of classical Suzhou gardens
Suzhou Wugong covers an area of 32,000 square meters, drawing on the essence of Chinese classical architecture and Suzhou gardens. Whether it is the 'Xiaofeihong' and 'Batan Yingyue' among the eight scenic spots of Wugong, the ancient city walls of the Jinshan stone architectural complex, the garden with flowers and fruits in all seasons, or the small bridges and flower windows full of cultural allusions, Wugong's profound heritage is evident everywhere, offering endless beauty. The Wugong Imperial Banquet Hotel is located here, integrated with the 4A-level Panmen Scenic Area, rich in historical sites and cultural landscapes.
Design
The hotel is located on the site of the ancient Wu State post house, equivalent to today's state guesthouse. After renovation, it blends Chinese classical architecture with elegant Suzhou gardens. The main entrance features towering city walls and gate towers, and the Chinese-style lobby exudes elegance, giving the entire garden-style architecture a unique charm.
Rooms
The hotel has 95 rooms, bringing the Jiangnan courtyard into the accommodation, facing Panmen. There are the ancient city walls of Suzhou, the leisurely Jiangnan scenery, courtyards for sitting, shadows of trees, and flying eaves of tiles. The rooms are spacious and bright, with comfortable beds, high-end bathrooms, and modern facilities. Thoughtfully, bath bags are prepared.
Dining
The 'imperial chefs' of the Wugong Imperial Banquet trace back to the six dynasties of Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing, seeking the ancient and the present. Each dish is served in the 'individual serving' style, recreating the ceremonial sense of thousand-year-old imperial cuisine. When historical anecdotes, poems, famous paintings, and classic characters' stories become part of the dining experience, a 'edible' culinary painting unfolds slowly.
Entertainment
The hotel also offers experiences in calligraphy and painting, folk crafts, handmade imperial snacks, and the Guozi Academy, providing various ways to perceive and touch culture, taking away the beauty and memories of a city. The hotel's ice bar is also very distinctive, bringing ice sculptures from the northeast to Suzhou, combining the gentleness of Jiangnan with the temperament of the northeast, offering various cocktails and alcoholic beverages, and is perfect for photo opportunities.
