Wuxi's Lakeside Juna Hubin Hotel Opens New Wing

An extensive facelift styled by international architects has catapulted Wuxi's iconic lakeside Juna Hubin Hotel to the forefront of China's 5-star scenic hotels.

A new sail-shaped wing now complements the picturesque location and vast Chinese gardens beside the famous Lihu Lake, incorporating a state-of-the-art spa and one of the largest pillar-less ballrooms in Wuxi.

Everlasting Spa, a brand new spa, has also been launched in the hotel offering Chinese, Japanese and Thai spa treatments and massages.

Also newly renovated and re-opened is the hotel's Camphor Club fitness and recreation centre - complete with an indoor lake view swimming pool, sauna, karaoke parlor, gym and library.

The new-look Juna Hubin has been transformed into a stylish "oasis of tranquility enforcing its reputation as a leading leisure as well as business and conference venue at the forefront of both Wuxi's and China's luxury hospitality sector", said Madame Zhu Xiaoxia, Chairman of Juna Hotels Group.

Commanding panoramic views of Lihu Lake and surrounding hills, Juna Hubin Hotel has a rich history. Three prominent villas dating back to the 1920s and 1930s were first converted into the hotel in 1978.

The original East Wing is complimented by a new West Wing, designed by Brian Elsden Burrows Architects of Canada.

The new  'sail' tower incorporates 291 new guest rooms, several restaurants and the largest pillar-less ballroom in Wuxi, embracing 1,450 square meters. Five other conference rooms create versatile settings for banquets, meetings, conferences and exhibitions over a total space of over 3,500 square meters.

The hotel now boasts a total of 482 guest rooms in its two towers and three villas.

Madame Zhu said, "Wuxi Juna Hubin Hotel continues to draw inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of this land of plenty. We open our arms to welcome guests from all around to enjoy the great views, appreciate our superior Wuxi Cuisine and Taihu Lake delicacies, experience the luxury amenities and have a wonderful time in this accessible paradise."

In the picturesque Lihu Lake scenic area, the hotel is sandwiched between the historic Liyuan Garden with exquisite, classical pavilions and the 'Star of Taihu Lake' Ferris Wheel.
