M Social, the lifestyle brand of Millennium Hotels and Resorts, has
made its debut in China with the opening of M Social Suzhou. The
294-room luxury lifestyle hotel is the first M Social-branded property
in China and marks the beginning of the brand's expansion in the Greater
China region.
Located in the heart of Hong Leong City Center in the central part of
Suzhou Industrial Park, M Social Suzhou occupies a prime location by
Jinji Lake, adjacent to Times Square, Jiu Guang Department Store, Eslite
Spectrum, Ferris Wheel Park, and other shopping and commercial centres.
It is also a short walk away from the Suzhou International Expo Center
and Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre.
Designed by renowned architect KCA International, M Social Suzhou is
designed to provide guests with a relaxed environment. The hotel
features custom-made brass floors inlaid with the pattern of a garden
path, dynamic electronic art screens, and changing lighting effects on
the digital art ceiling that showcase the hotel's vibrant personality.
The Magnificent Suite spans over 409 square meters and features panoramic views of Jinji Lake and the Eastern Gate of Suzhou.
The hotel's 294 guest rooms and suites range from 40 to 409 square
metres and offer picturesque views of Jinji Lake and the Eastern Gate of
Suzhou. The Mega Cool Suite, which covers 409 sqm, boasts a 270-degree

There are three restaurants and bars located within. On the 25th

the open kitchen as he whips up recipes from around the world,
combining highlights of Chinese and Western cuisine with traditional
Suzhou and Southeast Asian flavours.
The hotel’s Beast & Butterflies Restaurant on the 25th floor offers scenic views of Suzhou, interactive kitchen experience and fusion cuisine.
The Beast & Butterflies Bar offers various types of tea and

MHR executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng said that the M Social brand is
about creativity, connection, and exciting possibilities, adding that
the new property is designed to reflect Suzhou's unique blend of
tradition and modernity, offering guests a fresh and luxurious
experience with state-of-the-art technology and M Social's bespoke
