Raffles Set For China Expansion
Luxury hotel operator Raffles Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement to extend the brand’s portfolio in China to the ancient city of Suzhou.
Raffles Suzhou is scheduled to open in the “Venice of the Orient” in 2020. Enjoying one of the best addresses in town, the 150-room luxury hotel will be located in the new super high-rise Keyne International Suzhou mixed-use development in the Suzhou New District (SND) Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone.
Signature highlights of the new hotel include more than 1,400 square metres of meeting and conference facilities, five food and beverage venues, including the brand’s signature Writer’s Bar and Long Bar, and a Raffles Spa.
Linked by expressway, Suzhou is 100 km from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and 120 km from Shanghai Pudong Airport. High-speed railways also connect the city to Nanjing and Beijing.
