25 October 2013, Hong Kong – Congratulations to Pingjiang Lodge, Suzhou, for winning the Certificate of Excellence Award 2013. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller’s reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Approximately 10 percent of accommodations listed on TripAdvisor receive this prestigious award.
For the first time Pingjiang Lodge receives this prestigious award, which recognizes the Lodge’s effort and dedication to providing unique cultural experience and quality services to travellers, despite the fact that it is not a conventional star-rated hotel. “We thank all the TripAdvisor’s travellers for their support. Since the launch of the new ‘Culture Hotel’ concept to the hospitality industry in 1993, we have strived to bring not only a unique accommodation experience to our guests, but also the local culture and ancient ambience of the destination that they are travelling. We are glad that today the ‘Culture Hotel’ brand is widely perceived by our guests and the industry,” says Mr. Peter Wong, Chairman of the Silk Road Hotel Management Co Ltd.
About Pingjiang Lodge
Located in the Pingjiang District in Suzhou, Pingjiang Lodge was transformed from Suzhou ancient complex of houses that contains different compounds of courtyards and rooms. The main hall of the Lodge was once the residence of the Fang Family in the Ming Dynasty, while the restaurant/MICE complex "Manor by the Bridge" (Shanfang) was the former residence of the Dong Family. The Lodge preserves “fine, detail, delicacy and beauty” in Chinese architectural style. Here, you can experience yourself up close to the “Xiao Qiao, Liu Shui, Ren Jia” (literally means “small bridges, flowing waters, residences”); a typical description of the landscape and classical aura of Suzhou.
