Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. has announced the opening of Element Suzhou Science and Technology Town in Suzhou, China. Owned by Suzhou Science and Technology Town Kexin Cultural Tourism Development Co., LTD., the new Element hotel is set to offer healthy, active travellers a smart and sustainable stay, designed to fuel a balanced life while on the road. Element Suzhou Science and Technology Town features 188 rooms and suites. Guests can work, play, or relax in the spacious, smart and modern guestrooms, all of which offer oversized windows for natural light. Each room comes with a well-equipped energy-efficient kitchen; and amenities such as the plush signature Heavenly® Beds, spa-inspired baths and separate invigorating rain showers and all natural bath amenities. With light-filled public areas and a calming atmosphere, Element hotels employ a natural colour palette, giving each hotel an organic openness that matches the architecture and weightless feeling of the space.
As Starwood’s eco-innovation lab, each room also features a work space and high-tech office and entertainment equipment, with complimentary internet access and a one-stop connectivity solution that allows guests to hook up portable electronics to their in-room TV. SPG Keyless Check-In – the hospitality industry’s first mobile, keyless entry system that allows guests to use their smartphone as a key is also available at Element Suzhou Science and Technology Town. The hotel also offers 1,200 square meters of flexible meeting space with modular fast & free WiFi throughout.
Recognizing that whole living is more of a lifestyle than a trend, Element Hotels have re-imagined extended stay by setting a new standard for life on the road. Guest can refuel for the day ahead at Salon, an all-day dining restaurant, or enjoy a variety of traditional local, Huaiyang and authentic Cantonese cuisine at the well-designed private rooms. At the Relax evening reception, guests can wind down over a selection of savoury wine, food and beverage pairings. The 24/7 self-serve pantry Restore offers healthy options and unique delights for every taste. Enjoy a bite with friends or colleagues in the whole living area or tap into your culinary skills by whipping up a meal in the fully-equipped kitchen in your guest room.
Staying on the move is easy with the hotel’s state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness centre, an indoor saline swimming pool as well as complimentary bikes for rent, which encourages guest to explore the nearby sights, while staying healthy and active.
