Where to stay in Suzhou

Suzhou, near Shanghai, is becoming more and more important as a tourist destination. It is famous for its beautiful water scenery and amazing landscape gardens. Of course for visitors to Suzhou, one of the most important parts of their trip is their accommodations. A wide range of hotels are available for visitors from China and abroad in Suzhou.

There is a large selection of hotels ranging from the three to five-stars in Suzhou. Most are located in the city's center, and some are located near some of Suzhou's most famous and popular scenic spots.

China Odyssey Tours has a list of hotels in Suzhou that we have inspected and have found to meet our strict quality guidelines.

For five-star hotels, China Odyssey Tours recommends the Sheraton Suzhou Hotel. For four-star hotels, we recommend the Bamboo Grove Hotel. And for three-star hotels, we recommend the Gusu Hotel and the Garden Hotel Suzhou.

Visitors staying at these hotels will have not only have easy access to some of Suzhou's most famous sites, but are also located in the center of the commercial and entertainment districts of Suzhou. Many of the desk workers and concierge of each of Suzhou's hotels can speak English, so the language barrier is not a problem. They will serve each guest with great hospitality and do everything in their ability to make visitors feel at home.

Suzhou's five-star hotels are all comprehensively-facilitated, and are designed to make guests feel relaxed and refreshed after their daily tours. The facilities in Suzhou's four-star hotels are also well designed and managed. The major difference is in regards to location. In Suzhou's other small hotels, visitors also receive wonderful service but with lower prices. The room rates in Suzhou's hotels are within the norms of Chinese hotel prices. Most hotels usually have vacancies on most days.

For Suzhou's towns, there are no star rated hotels available. Only small hotels and guest houses can be found. Although lacking in some of the amenities of the larger hotels, these hotels and guests houses are very clean and are family run. The operators of these small hotels do go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and are proud to show off their traditional Chinese hospitality.
