If you come to Suzhou, you must stay at InterContinental Suzhou Jinji Lake

When traveling to Suzhou, I chose to stay at the InterContinental Suzhou by Jinji Lake. This hotel, bursting with design, completely overturned my impression of traditional Suzhou! From modern art installations to the innovative fusion of Suzhou garden elements, every corner is full of surprises✨ 📍Super convenient location and transportation • 5-minute walk to Eslite Spectrum Suzhou • 8-minute walk to Times Square Station on Metro Line 1 • 10-minute taxi ride to Suzhou Center and Gate to the East • About 20 minutes by car to ancient city attractions like the Humble Administrator’s Garden 🛏️Room highlights that will wow your friends • Open bathroom design perfect for couples (frosted glass doors with great vibe) • Every room has a private balcony, some facing Jinji Lake directly • Amenities are from the Shanghai Tang series, with a super soothing citrus scent • The mural above the bed hides a secret—scan the QR code to listen to Suzhou Pingtan! 📸Must-take photo spots 1. Lobby spiral staircase (recommend wearing a solid color dress) 2. Rooftop bar terrace (the sunset over Jinji Lake in the evening is stunning) 3. Paper-cut art wall in the elevator lobby 4. Restaurant’s Suzhou-style mooncake-shaped chandelier 🍽️Foodie perks • Breakfast includes freshly cooked Suzhou-style soup noodles with triple shrimp topping • Happy hour cocktails use osmanthus wine as the base • You can book a private chef to teach you how to make Squirrel Mandarin Fish 💡Tips: 1. There is often a lakeside market on weekends, so it’s recommended to choose a high-floor lake view room 2. Hanfu rental for photo shoots is available at the front desk for free (limited quantity, book early) 3. The gym is open 24 hours, with equipment facing the lake view—amazing! 🏮Nearby activities: • Walk along Moonlight Pier to enjoy the night view • Try delicacies at Ligongdi Food Street • Shop at Yuanrong Times Square Remember to book weekend rooms two weeks in advance as this hotel is often fully booked! It’s recommended to plan 2 days in the ancient city plus 2 days at Jinji Lake to experience both the classical and modern sides of Suzhou~
