AC Hotels by Marriott Launches in China with the Opening of AC Hotel by Marriott Suzhou

The opening of AC Hotel by Marriott Suzhou marks the launch of AC Hotels by Marriott®, the design-driven lifestyle brand that is one of 30 remarkable brands in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. The new hotel, which includes 135 rooms, has been skillfully designed and developed to give The Perfectly Precise HotelTM experience right in the middle of the charming, historic water town of Suzhou.

Suzhou, often known as the “Venice of the East,” is a historic water town with opulent rivers, charming lanes, and serene pavilions. The historic Gusu District of Suzhou, which is home to a rich cultural past best illustrated by its Classical Chinese Gardens listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is where the AC Hotel by Marriott Suzhou is located.

Visitors interested in art and culture can also visit the numerous other historic locations, including the famous Suzhou Museum, the Lion Grove Garden, and the Humble Administrator’s Garden. With Suzhou Railway Station only 2.5 kilometers away and Beisi Pagoda Metro Station just a short stroll away, the hotel will also offer simple access to public transit. In the meantime, visitors may easily travel between Shanghai and Suzhou thanks to the 30-minute high-speed train.

With its use of whitewashed walls, dark gray clay tile roofs, and folds of geometries, Suzhou traditional architecture adds a calm and simple touch to the hotel’s outside design.

The hotel’s careful blending of modern and traditional elements has resulted in an interior design that is both authentic and cutting-edge and is uniquely Suzhou. The moment guests enter the hotel lobby, they are greeted with an excellent ambiance, and their eyes are immediately drawn to a multitude of artworks that pay respect to the new Suzhou Museum, which was created by renowned architect I.M. Pei.

One hundred thirty-five guest rooms and suites, including five garden rooms with individual outdoor gardens, are located within the hotel. Silk paintings depicting an ancient city plan are used to embellish the sleek, modern guest rooms, which draw design cues from Suzhou’s traditional gardens. This creates an opulent and unified atmosphere.

All accommodations come with thoughtful extras like a walk-in shower, a 55-inch high-definition LCD television, and free high-speed Wi-Fi.

The hotel offers a variety of collaboration spaces, such as the AC Kitchen, an all-day dining restaurant with a variety of buffet selections that pays homage to AC’s Spanish heritage and offers an extensive a la carte menu with regional specialties and dishes with a Spanish influence. The iconic AC Lounge, which has a patio outside, is the perfect area for visitors to dine al fresco, unwind, or work during the day. By night, the cozy and stylish setting changes into a lively bar where guests can relax and mingle while enjoying Jiangnan-inspired cocktails, beers, and wines, as well as the house specialty, the AC Gin Tonic.

The hotel has a 50 square meter multi-functional space that can accommodate various visitor demands and is adaptable for banquets and business meetings. Additionally, the hotel has a cutting-edge fitness center open around-the-clock so that visitors can continue their exercise regimen while traveling.
