Hotel Description: (5 Star)
Legend
has it that when Marco Polo visited Suzhou, he called it the "Venice
of the East". Like Venice, Suzhou is a thriving commercial
centre set in a location of incredible historic and natural beauty.
To compliment this setting, Sheraton Suzhou Hotel & Towers,
with stunning traditional Chinese architecture and beautifully landscaped
gardens, conjures up visions of ancient China while providing the
most modern accommodations and amenities to fulfill your every need.
The
sloping, winged roof, echoing the grandeur of the Forbidden City,
is where it all begins. From the classical architecture of ancient
palaces and pagodas, to the charm of the local architecture, the
hotel reflects the long history of Suzhou.
The
Pagoda-shaped reception hall is open and simple, giving view to
the magnificent gardens. Use of local stone adds to this simplicity,
but gives a sense of the past, the same stone used for imperial
palaces in Beijing. The hotel entrance is modeled on the famous
Panmen Gate located nearby, the last vestige of the city walls which
once surrounded ancient Suzhou, and four handcrafted roofs create
a stunning reminder of days gone by.
Complemented
by canals, a symbol of Suzhou, the gardens give the final touch
to the hotel. Designed in the tradition of those that Suzhou is
famous for, they provide an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.
Hotel Location: (Suzhou)
Sheraton
Suzhou Hotel & Towers is conveniently located within the centre
of the city. Suzhou is only one hour away from Shanghai by train,
or by car on the modern expressway that links the two cities. Its
proximity to Shanghai, the business capital of central China, as
well as Wuxi and Nanjing, makes Suzhou the ideal location for both
the business and leisure traveler.
