Fodor's Expert Review Garden Hotel

After a day exploring Suzhou's many gardens, return to one of your own—10 acres, to be precise, complete with flowering trees, tranquil ponds, and colorful pagodas, with rooms spread across six low-slung buildings. Feeling somewhat like a posh university campus, the Garden Hotel is two blocks from the Master of the Nets Garden and a short stroll from many restaurants and bars. Though it's showing its age somewhat, the hotel is still a pleasant and well-situated lodging.
