Wharf Opens Stunning Niccolo Hotel in Suzhou, China

The Niccolo Suzhou, the fifth member of Wharf Hotels’ growing portfolio of Niccolo hotels, celebrated its official opening on Thursday.

Located on the top floors of the majestic new Suzhou International Finance Square (IFS) skyscraper, soaring 450-metres into the clouds, the 233-room Niccolo Suzhou hotel offers guests commanding panoramic views over neighbouring Jinji Lake and the Suzhou skyline.

Known as the ‘Venice of the East’ for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, stone bridges, pagodas and classical gardens, Suzhou is one of China’s top tourist attractions. The city is connected to Shanghai by high-speed train which takes only 25 minutes.

Carlo Schmed, Niccolo Suzhou General Manager, said, “This unique new address embodies Niccolo’s key signatures and will help us to change the landscape of the city’s business as an all-week destination. Even before opening, Niccolo Suzhou was the ‘talk of the town’. We now look forward to not only meeting but exceeding the greatest expectations at the city’s most sophisticated and stylish new address.”

The hotel features a variety of F&B outlets, a Sky Pool & Jacuzzi on the 117th floor, a fitness studio and gym, as well as a choice of flexible meeting and event spaces.

Ms Xiaomei Liu, Member of CPC working committee and Vice Chairman of SIPAC, said, “IFS is a majestic Beacon of the Future for our city, inspiring us all to look forward with optimism and confidence – and Niccolo Suzhou magnificently elevates our reputation both as a ‘must visit’ luxury destination and as a hub for 21st century industry, business and commerce in modern China.”

Niccolo Suzhou’s prized IFS address is designed by internationally-renowned architects Kohn Pederson Fox, whose iconic global landmarks include Lotte World Tower in Seoul, Shanghai World Financial Centre and Hong Kong’s International Commerce Centre. Interior designs are by global hospitality leader HBA and reflect Niccolo’s understated sophistication.
