“Suzhou represents a very exciting opportunity for the Raffles brand,” said Peter French, president of Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “As one of China’s leading economic centres, with a growing arts and cultural scene, the city is quickly establishing itself as a very popular regional travel destination.”

Raffles Suzhou will be located in the Suzhou New District Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, a specially-designated zone with a focus on science and technology research and the development of high-tech industries. It will also include a limited selection of Raffles Residences.
