Suzhou, China,
28 June 2010
– Strategically located in the beating heart of the ancient city,
Suzhou’s newly opened
225-room Hotel Soul inspires guests with its delightful themed
décor, superb
comfort, delicious food and friendly service. The impressive end result
is the
city’s first truly international character hotel for both business and
leisure
travelers.
Just a short walk
away from the lively downtown Guan Qian Street shopping and dining hub
as well as
most of Suzhou’s
legendary historical attractions, Hotel Soul simply couldn’t be more
conveniently positioned. Nestled between the city’s two futuristic
science
parks, it’s also the ideal base for business travelers and expatriates
who
value easy access to post-work nightlife more highly than quieter but
harder-to-reach locations.
Hotel Soul’s defining
“MIRACLE” design motif pay eloquent tribute to China’s incredible
achievements
during the last 30 years. The concept finds its most vivid expression
in the
art pieces that enliven the hotel’s shared areas as well as inside each
guestroom. Each piece represents a different aspect of China’s recent
speedy development. The hotel designers’ creative use of colors,
textures and
sounds further adds to an ambience already rich with artistic and
emotional
inspiration.

Sprawling over seven
floors, this experience-driven international character hotel boasts
fully 225
well-appointed and warmly lit guest rooms. And regardless of which room
they
stay in, guests will find a full set of in-room designer amenities to
refresh
both their bodies and minds. In addition to a digital in-room safe and
a
well-stocked mini bar, each room’s array of creature comforts includes
a tea/coffee
set and a sleek contemporary bathroom with rain shower and
complimentary
grooming products. Communications features that will keep guests fully
wired-up
include easy-to-enable onsite Wi-Fi roaming. Equally essential for each
guest’s
well-being is a team of courteous well-trained staff who are not only
‘Suzhou-savvy’ but also multi-lingual and thoroughly familiar with
frequent
travelers’ unique needs.
Today’s most
discerning business and leisure guests place a real premium on being
able to
unwind where they stay. Hotel Soul’s many ways to help them do just
that
include energizing or de-stressing in the gym or soaking up a nutrition
fix at
the ‘iSpace’ juice bar. Should they wish to, guests can also lap up
some rays
or simply escape for a few moments of solitude in the hotel’s fourth
floor roof
garden.
A surprise to the
guests of Hotel Soul when they take
the ‘Spaceship’ lift
to reach their floors.

Hotel
Soul knows that
Suzhou’s two ultra-sophisticated science parks
make it one of China’s
fastest growing business and meeting-incentive-conference-event (MICE)
destinations. To ensure presentations and forums always run seamlessly,
the
hotel has three well designed meeting rooms equipped with the latest AV
technology. As meetings are frequently scheduled with little or no
lead-time,
staff here offer real flexibility in terms of in-meeting support and
service.
Similar levels of expertise and versatility also apply to other blue
ribbon
events such as business and wedding banquets. A superbly equipped
business
center with full secretarial services will further add to the hotel’s
appeal
for traveling executives.
Located on the
hotel’s first floor Brasserie 101 offers a mouthwatering French menu
which is a
true first for Suzhou.
All dishes created by the chefs here are made using original French
recipes and
feature choice organic ingredients from carefully sourced local and
overseas
suppliers. To further enrich diners’ culinary experience, Brasserie
101’s spacious interior is fashionably
decorated with sharp colors and eye-catching images of Sino-French
cultural
crossovers. In addition to an extensive buffet breakfast, the
restaurant tempts
both guests and visitors with a scrumptious all-day la carte menu.
Owned and operated by
Hong Kong-based hospitality group, GR8 Leisure Concept, Hotel Soul is a
proud
member of Epoque Hotels. For more information, please visit
