Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou is welcoming the winter season with a spectacular lineup of festive experiences set on its serene private island. The celebrations begin with the highly anticipated Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, a moment that blends elegance, community spirit, and holiday warmth.
Inside the lobby, a beautifully illuminated Christmas tree stands beside a meticulously crafted gingerbread house, creating a picture-perfect setting for guests to enjoy seasonal snacks and signature beverages.
This year’s ceremony carries special meaning thanks to a partnership with Make-A-Wish Shanghai, supporting children living with serious illnesses and infusing the celebration with heartfelt purpose.
The hotel is offering tailored packages for families, friends, and couples looking to celebrate in an unforgettable way. The Penthouse Suite, with its sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of Jinji Lake, sets the stage for private gatherings, intimate celebrations, and exclusive parties.
For couples, an indulgent experience awaits with stays in a Villa or the Panoramic Suite. Guests can enjoy dishes crafted by Executive Chef Davide Mastrangeli paired with Dom Pérignon, all against the enchanting glow of Suzhou’s skyline at dusk.
Dining plays a central role in the hotel’s winter festivities. At Yun He, the all-day dining restaurant, the season comes alive through a series of curated culinary events. A St. Nicholas Day buffet on December 6 will feature carols and global cuisine, while children enjoy activities at the Kids Club. On December 24 and 25, a special Christmas buffet will showcase festive classics and refined dishes. The celebrations continue with a New Year’s Eve buffet, offering a joyful close to 2025 and a delicious welcome to the year ahead.
Guests can also unwind at The Lounge and Bar, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of Suzhou’s modern skyline. Festive afternoon tea is available through mid-February, accompanied by seasonal drinks such as the Starlit Noel cocktail, Rudolph’s Berry Nose, and traditional mulled wine. The venue will host a lively New Year’s Eve Jazz Party, complete with live music, an elegant countdown, and celebratory toasts.
The hotel’s Pastry Shop adds even more sweetness to the season with handcrafted pastries and festive hampers. Highlights include German spiced butter crisps, tree-shaped gingerbread, artisanal gingerbread houses, traditional Stollen, and Panettone in classic, chocolate, and pistachio variations. A special Pandora metal collector’s gift box brings a touch of luxury to holiday gifting.
Throughout the season, Santa Claus and festive elves will make surprise appearances across the private island, creating magical moments for guests young and old. With twinkling lights, thoughtful experiences, and a warm winter ambiance, Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou invites visitors to embrace a holiday journey filled with joy, elegance, and unforgettable memories.
