SHORT DESCRIPTION
Nestled within Suzhou's renowned Yangcheng Lake Leisure and Tourism Resort, the hotel boasts beautiful scenery embraced by water on three sides. It harmoniously blends into the lakeside garden, resembling a traditional courtyard and offering an unparalleled retreat. We drew inspiration from the private residence of a renowned local historical figure, Shen Zhou, and integrated the essence of Xiangcheng's ten traditional crafts, known as the "Ten Wonders of Xiangcheng" into the design, crafting a secluded haven for modern literati amidst the picturesque lakes and mountains. The hotel's layout maximizes views by thoughtfully arranging public areas and guestrooms along the lakeshore, ensuring guests can enjoy lake views from arrival to dining to accommodation. The entrance, adorned with the water feature and a classic moon gate inspired by Jiangnan gardens, sets the tone for the journey ahead. The lobby showcases the imperial kiln bricks from the "Ten Wonders of Xiangcheng," complemented by translucent glass bricks, creating an ethereal atrium lounge that blends past with present. The Chinese ink painting screen behind the front desk, Suzhou embroidery-adorned ceilings, lake-blue furniture and carpets, every design gesture whispers the poetic essence of a waterside town. The Chinese restaurant is adorned with exquisite K'o-ssu silk embroidery. The SPA soaking pools are inspired by the Imperial Kiln, offering a unique cave-like experience. In the guest rooms, elements such as pearl lights, violin-bow-shaped door handles, and lake-patterned screens pay homage to the local culture and ecology, creating an immersive and secluded retreat.
