Stay in the center of Gusu city! Wake up in The Ritz-Carlton in an ink painting

I just spent a lazy weekend in Suzhou, and this newly opened Ritz-Carlton is really worth writing about separately! 📍 Great Location ✔ 5-minute walk to Shantang Street (super convenient for watching the night view) ✔ 10-minute walk to Lingering Garden and Xiyuan Temple ✔ Hua Mao Center and Zizhi Garden are downstairs You don’t have to rush when you stay here. It’s so great to be able to go back to the hotel and relax whenever you’re tired from shopping! 🏨 Ingenious Design The exterior is a modern garden with the charm of water and black tiles. The lobby echoes with various artistic installations with the charm of Jiangnan. The elevator hall uses garden octagonal window elements. The combination of tradition and modernity is just right~ 🛏 Room Experience The basic room starts at 70㎡, and the new Chinese style is not dull. Bathroom with double wash basins + smart toilet (family-friendly) The toiletries are diptyque, and the hair dryer is Dyson. The mini bar has TWG tea bags/Voss water/capsule coffee. I like the sliding window between the bathtub and the bedroom the most. The TV can be turned 45° so you can lie in the bathtub and watch it. The branches and leaves by the window are very Zen. 🍽 Food Report ✅ Alkanna Breakfast: Eggs Benedict with river shrimp flavor! The Suzhou-style red soup noodles are also very authentic~ The freshly baked bread is also very outstanding, and it is full of vitality with freshly squeezed juice~ The service is also very warm and thoughtful. ✅ Maple Pavilion Afternoon Tea: Spring magnolia-themed afternoon tea is recommended~ The persimmon cream cheese and nut roll has multiple layers in one bite, which is amazing! Gorgon fruit toast rolls, Biluochun cauliflower milk jelly, magnolia tea Chantilly, etc. are also very distinctive~ ✅ Biao Xia Chinese Restaurant: I ordered the chef's recommended three-person meal~ The crispy black plum pumpkin tastes magical and is also suitable for summer. I also tasted the Biao Xia roast duck~ The Gusu three-shrimp roasted bean noodles are very rich in flavor and worth recommending~ 💡 Real Tips Afternoon tea should be booked a few days in advance. There is a Song Dynasty tea ceremony performance at 2:30pm~ It is recommended to choose a king room type. The interior furnishings are very charming. It is recommended to travel by subway for surrounding tours, which is more convenient and faster than driving. Summary: Suitable for friends who want to stay in the city center + lazy vacation. You can feel the charm of Gusu without rushing around. The service details are a plus!
