Hyatt Regency Hotel Opens in Suzhou

Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in China with the opening of the Hyatt Regency Suzhou, in Eastern China.

The city of Suzhou, known as the Venice of China, is renowned for its ancient canals, stone bridges and UNESCO-listed classic gardens.

Located in the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) with a subway station at its doorstep, Hyatt Regency Suzhou is part of Jinghope Plaza, a new complex project that includes a luxury shopping mall, entertainment venues and two Grade-A office buildings.

From Suzhou, it takes just 25 minutes by train to reach Shanghai, one hour by car to reach Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, and 10 minutes by car from the hotel to reach Suzhou SIP Railway Station, the transportation hub of Yangtze River Delta region.

The hotel offers 355 guestrooms and suites plus a Regency Club. There are five restaurants and lounges, more than 1,400 square meters (15,000 square feet) of meeting, event and wedding venues, as well as a spa and wellness facilities.

The contemporary design by LTW Designworks features a 29-storey triangular atrium topped with a glass roof. The interior design is inspired by Suzhou’s classic gardens offset by large-scale contemporary artworks and abstract patterns that reference the modern face of Suzhou.

“We are delighted to introduce the Hyatt Regency brand’s signature world-class dining, hospitality and amenities to one of China’s most historic cities,” said Gary Chan, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Suzhou. “As the first Hyatt hotel in Jiangsu province, Hyatt Regency Suzhou will be an inspiring place to connect, dine, meet, celebrate and relax in the city. With an energetic team of expert planners and passionate hoteliers, we are ready to welcome our guests from the neighbourhood and around the world.”
