Renaissance Suzhou Taihu Lake Hotel

As the sun sets on Suzhou, the air fills with the soothing melodies of fishermen returning with their daily catch. The day’s final light casts a glow on lush tea plantations, romantic canals and majestic mountains. In this “Venice of the Orient”, a rich 2,500-year-old culture invites exploration of its ancient arts, temples and gardens. Set by picturesque Taihu Lake, where vibrant waters blend into piercing blue skies, the Renaissance Suzhou Taihu Lake Hotel opens its doors to a chic environment. Here, local textures and colors are reflected in splendid contemporary décor. Designer rooms, suites and villas feature natural tones punctuated by flashes of turquoise and offer free Wi-Fi, luxury bedding and spa-inspired bathrooms. From the Wu Xing rooftop bar and restaurant with private rooms, visitors can indulge in panoramic views, Japanese teppanyaki and signature cocktails. For weddings, social and business events, more than 75,000-square-feet of spectacular indoor and outdoor space await.
