Dusit Fudu Hotels and resorts will bring a 250-bedroom hot springs resort to Suzhou City, China, in late 2018.

The Dusit Thani Wellness Resort Suzhou SND, Jiangsu will include more than 30 indoor and outdoor natural hot springs pools, as well as oxygen rooms, infrared cabins and salt saunas. It will also include Dusit’s signature Thai-inspired Devarana Spa, with six treatment rooms.

Situated on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the shores of Lake Tai, Suzhou was founded in 514 BC and is known as the ‘Venice of the East,’ with canals, stone bridges, pagodas and meticulously-designed gardens – which have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The resort will be set in a new lifestyle destination, the Suzhou National Hi-Tech District, currently home to more than 1,500 foreign companies and more than 40 Fortune 500 companies.

“It is our great honour to introduce the world-renowned gracious Thai hospitality and unique wellness concept to this city,” said Lim Boon Kwee, president of Dusit Fudu Hotels & Resorts. “We believe that the Dusit Thani Wellness Resort Suzhou SND, Jiangsu will set a benchmark in service, quality and excellence in the local hospitality industry.”
