Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage a new luxury hotel in Suzhou, China, scheduled to open in 2026. This property will complement the Group’s growing portfolio in the Yangtze River Delta.
Mandarin Oriental, Suzhou is located on the east bank of the city’s famous Jinji lake with panoramic lakeside views of the iconic architectural skyline to the west. The urban resort will be a core component of the new Central Business District, surrounded by expansive gardens, parks and lakeside walkways, while also enjoying direct access to the adjacent bustling commercial and retail centre as well as to the city’s historic cultural heartland and its many UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites.
The hotel will comprise 146 guestrooms and suites, many with balconies and views. Guests will appreciate a wide variety of dining experiences with three restaurants, a lounge, bar and cakeshop. Al fresco dining, with lakeside views and exquisite settings in landscaped gardens will be present.
Extensive spa and wellness facilities, with a comprehensive range of wellness, beauty and massage treatments, will feature Mandarin Oriental’s award-winning signature spa therapies. A well-equipped fitness centre and indoor swimming pool will add to the overall resort experience. Significant meeting and event space will ensure it is well positioned for business and social gatherings. With the landscaped parkland surrounding the hotel, an extensive Children’s Club will also provide education, sports and entertainment for families.
“We are delighted to be extending the Group’s presence in mainland China and to be part of this exciting development in the heart of the city’s new Central Business District. Alongside our existing property in Shanghai, and our upcoming openings in Hangzhou and Nanjing, Mandarin Oriental, Suzhou will further introduce our fans to exceptional experiences throughout the Yangtze River Delta,” said Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
