Fraser Suites Suzhou

Located just outside Shanghai in Suzhou, Fraser Suites sets the standard for serviced apartments, leaving no detail overlooked. The brand new all-suite tower offers seven categories of rooms from 1-3 bedrooms, ideally suited for long stays. Each room is equipped with a full kitchen including cookware and dishwasher. With daily maid service, it’s unlikely you’d use the latter, but it’s the little touches that matter in a home away from home.

State of the art amenities, including a business centre, brand new gym equipment and outdoor pool, are all just an elevator ride away. Even the two-bedroom suite is large enough that it includes a private study, expansive living room, two bathrooms and three beds – perfect for bringing the family on an extended business trip.
