Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza Hotel Suzhou

Eight decks of spacious rooms wrap around a nautical-theme lobby bar at this shipshape luxury hotel on Jinji Lake; splurge on one of the Captain's Suites if you want to enjoy a soak in a private hot tub while you gaze out at the water. In a private marine nearby are several speedboats belonging to the hotel that can be hired for trips around the lake. Lounge beside the infinity-edge outdoor pool, or work out in the state-of-the-art fitness center.
