Pan Pacific Sūzhōu

Suzhou


There’s a kitschy feel to the exterior of this former Sheraton Hotel, which looks like a faux Forbidden City. But once you step into the lobby, you’ll know this is five-star luxury. The 500+ rooms are spacious and stylish, fitted with all the latest gadgets to make you happy. Service is polite and impeccable. Discounts of over 50% usually available.

A bonus is guests get to enjoy free access to the adjacent Gán Gate Garden.
