What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 210 rooms, suites, and villas include two swimming pools, one an outdoor infinity edge over the lake, the other glass-enclosed indoors.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The island rests within Jinji Lake, placing Suzhou Industrial Park and the city's historic UNESCO-listed canal gardens within easy reach.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lake or city skyline, while standalone courtyard villas offer secluded open-air space among the trees.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool looks across Jinji Lake. Indoors, submerged loungers and decorative lattice screens flank the lap pool.
The spa & gym
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Jin Jing Ge
Under crystal raindrop chandeliers, tables look out onto the gardens as the kitchen serves contemporary Su Bang and Jiangnan dishes.
At the table
Dolce Vita serves Italian plates from an open-air pavilion, and The Lounge and Bar hosts weekend jazz overlooking the water.
How it began
The 2023 development translates historic Suzhou garden concepts into modern waterfront pavilions with curved bridges and classical lattice screens.
