Pingjiang Lodge is a unique Culture Hotel that has character and soul. Located in the Pingjiang District in Suzhou, the Lodge is transformed from Suzhou ancient complex of houses that contains different compounds of courtyards and rooms. The main hall of the Lodge was once the residence of the Fang Family in the Ming Dynasty, while the restaurant/MICE complex "Manor by the Bridge" (Shanfang) was once the residence of the Dong Family. Constructed in the old Suzhou style in the middle era of the Ming Dynasty, the Main Hall of Pingjiang Lodge has a history of more than 450 years and it is the oldest part of the complex. It has been inherited for 7 generations. The gold-gilded pattern on the rooftop can still be barely seen. The Lodge preserves “fine, detail, delicacy and beauty” in Chinese architectural style. Here, you can experience yourself up close to the “Xiao Qiao, Liu Shui, Ren Jia” (literally means “small bridges, flowing waters, residences”), a typical description of the landscape and classical aura of Suzhou. Getting into the Pingjiang Lodge is just like traveling back in time. When you stroll down, you will find pieces of relics dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911), and also the Cultural Revolution (1966 – 1976). The traditional ambience also allows you to experience the Chinese culture to its fullest. Take your time to play the stone piano (Qin), Chinese Chess and Checker (Qi), as well as Chinese Brushes and Black Ink Bar for calligraphy (Shu) and painting (Hua) at the lobby lounge where local tea is served. Business hours of reception: Every day: from 00:00 to 00:00 .
